Im sure this Panda is a good car, and like the 2nd generation panda, will have unqiue and quirky features to make it appeal compared to its rivals.
however, there is something about the FIat badge and the reputaton and history of Fiats that puts me off ever contemplating a Fiat again.
From owning a punto to hearing friends horrow stores with Stilos, Bravos and Uylsses.
2 years ago, we required and ended up purchasing 3x citroen berlingo multispaces.
The options where the renault kangoo (rubbish), the peugeout partner tepee (same as the citroen but more expensive for some reason) or the fiat doblo.
What swung us towards the citroen was the fiat reputation (and yes, citroens isn ot exactly honda-like) but also the fear factor of the fiat dealerships who on the whole are clueless and unhelpful.
I can never see myself buyng a fiat again, there is just something about them which shouts 'brreakdown'.
I also have one question, slightly off topic.
With vauxhall set to replace the current combo (based on the corsa) with a re-baged fiat doblo, will they do extensive changes or will they stick with the fiat electronics and engines?
Any news on Vauxhall making an MPV version of the combo/doblo or will the mainstream continue to turn their nose up to van mpv's in the UK?
