    As an owner of both a Panda 100hp and a 500 Abarth (300vc), I'll choose the panda everyday! It's probably the most fun car I've ever driven.

    Just bought one as my first car and I fucking love it. 100HP and under a tonne make it so much fun to drive, and I think it looks great for what it is. There's a few out there if you're looking for them too.

    I drive a Fiat Panda 4x4 but mine is the 0.9 twinair turbo, that's just 875cc only 2 cylinders but still developes 85bhp!!

    Bought and put 40k miles on one. Mostly due to pistonheads raving about them. Was a brilliant car. Mine had KW coilovers and was a real laugh. Had to rebuild a rear caliper and that’s it. If you want to turbo one then buy a Punto. Enjoy it for what it is.
