    Great review Sir, very informative and loved both the content and style of review, would love to see more future videos of your 100hp Panda, thanks again

    Just spent 700 keeping mine on the road, 5 years owning it. 75k miles. Works like a charm. Guess which one? 58 plate.

    At times, when needing to 3 point turn I'll reverse instead. Uses a smaller area.
    Also, I think I might see a little UV greying on that plastic, get some Cerakote. Works like a charm.
    Also have a Panda 100hp & Abarth 500 in the house and based in the valleys. So might see you about!

    100 % agree with your thoughts and comments on the 500, and a honest review on these 2 fantastic fun little cars, I also have a Abarth for some 6 years now, love it for the shire driving experience and sound, nothing comes close if your on a budget for performance but I always said if funds didn't allow the Abarth I would of got a 100hp without a shadow of doubt, my wife has a basic panda eco 1.1 so I get the basic jist of how they drive and and comfort but never driven a 100 hp but I once had a punto sporting with the very same brilliant engine and perfectly mated slick 6 speed box so I know when you say about wringing it's neck for the power band unlike the turbo but as we know Italian engines love this !
    I've been twisting my wife's are for ages to get a 100hp ! 🙄1 day soon I hope, I will watch your other episodes on getting the 500 back on the road, great content so far 👍

    Good honest review, I guess each model have their pros and cons.
    You're fortunate to have both!
    That collection needs a 4x4 model. 😁👍
    I have the latest gen Panda 4x4 which has the little Twinair 875cc 2 cylinder engine, puts out a surprising 85bhp and heaps of low down torque for such a small capacity engine, really is a pleasure to drive and very capable.
    If you want exclusivity, the 4x4 comes in various limited edition specials, mine is the Antarctic model, white wuth black roof dark privacy glass and yellow mirrors oh and penguins 🐧 although my penguins are now removed and sit inside@
    Last time I checked there were just 80 models left in the UK I think there were only 200 sold originally in each market?
    I've only seen 1 other out in the wild in the 5 years I've had mine.
    That's more exclusive than a Ferrari F40 😁👍
    I learnt to drive in a classic shape Panda 🐼 way back when they were new, always had a soft spot for the Panda, the basic but practical design, it's quirky character and grin factor when you blow away a boy racer at the lights 😅😊

    Summed up the reasons I love my 100hp. Still I get a hankering for a 500 abarth!

    "I wonder what Peter andres doing now?" bet hes not sat in traffic 🤣. awesome review.... love my 100hp cant help think it needs a turbo though 🤷‍♂️

    Fantastic review of both these cars. I have owned my Abarth for a year now and love it but I’m also thinking of ditching the wife’s rather dull Mazda2 and getting a Panda 100hp as I’ve always wondered what they’re like to drive and you pretty much sold me on the idea. I just need to find a very good one, any ideas what to look out for( idea for content on a future video)?

      Get on the Panda 100 UK facebook group. Cars come up all the time. They are having a bit of a resurgance right now so you will pay many pennies for a nice one (Someone just bought an 09 with 11k on it for £7k....), however you will see decent ones all the time andthere is a buying guide in the files section.

    I prefer the 100hp, it's amazing hatchback, a little italian sport car with a big motor, it's so funny.

    Hi, I have both and in my opinion it´s better Panda 100HP. Brakes on Panda 100 are amazing, more better than 305mm Brembo from Abarth 695 Biposto, really, no joking.Pandas Gearbox Its better too, precise and 6-speed. I disagree that Panda Is Slow. Its perfect go kart. I have same idea about swap engine, but IT would kill her charakter. ❤❤❤

    Nice video, the 100hp is the superior car (definitely not a biased opinion)
    Also do fiat 500 seats fit nicely in the panda?

    • @theogbeardedwonder

      Transfer one bracket, and the swap straight over

    Ho avuto la Panda 100hp e poi l'ho venduta nel 2018,e poi mi sono pentito di averla venduta.Ormai in Italia è quasi introvabile e chi c'è la non la vende.
