For It’s a funky-looking little car that’s as fun to drive as it is easy; to cap it all, it won’t cost you much to buy and run
Against Ultimately, its small size counts against it, as it’s short on rear legroom. The ride can be a little on the firm side, too, and basic versions are short on some kit
This is a desirable city car with the emphasis on fun; it’s good value, but avoid the base models that miss some kit. Pick of the range is the 1.2 Dynamic with air-con
There’s a good range of engines available in the Panda, but our favourite is the 1.2 petrol unit. It’s a peppy little engine that really suits the car; and, while the 1.3 turbodiesel gives better performance and is both more flexible and more economical, it’s far too expensive to buy.
The Panda’s three-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating is a little disappointing, but if you do want to buy one, it’s worth checking out the company’s website, as from each model’s page, you can click through a ‘Latest Offers’ section, where you can find details of special edition models and money-off offers.
And remember, even when there is an offer, you may be able to haggle more off if you visit a dealer in person. Also, while you’re on the website, don't forget to check out the Accessories range as well - there are plenty of useful bits and pieces here.
