Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I feel wrong for liking this, I have no reason to. None at all. Its too small, too slow, too..................i dunno.

    But I love them.......

    Look at the little red calipers, and 100bhp is not TOO bad, its just so uncool its cool.

    Uncool? They're very cool.

    I'm with ba barabus. There's not much cooler out there. There's better but that's not the same thing. A similar vintage Golf GTI is so much better but not very cool at all.

    Na, they're not.

    The 500 is cool...............no desire for one.

    This.........this is a different story.........very tempting.

    Comes with a paper bag for your head

    Have you seen them on the road? They'very a very good stance abs much lower ride height. They handle like a go kart and feel very much alive to drive. They're left field alright but certainly not uncool.

    I dunno,

    All I know is that I want one..........ive never even driven one.

    The driving position looks a bit upright!!!

    Well then that's it. Don't drive what everyone else drives and then sigh with envy as someone drives past in the car you really wanted and all because the herd didn't think it was cool.

    I just bought a bog standard Panda a month ago OP. Had I more money/time I'd have bought the 100HP, they are a cool little thing and were well received. The only reason, as far as I'm aware, that Fiat stopped producing them is because the engine didn't meet emission legislation.
    With a little luck and not too far down the road I'll sell off the Panda active I have and buy one of the 100HPs.

    I had a 500 1.4 sport which is basically the same car in a party frock. Most fun drive I have had (if a little rough over a bumpy road).

    Was also very reliable. In three years it needed one rear light bulb.
