    Had loads of FIAT's over the years - 127 - 128 - Uno ( several ) - original Panda ( several ) and a Mk1 Punto that was great - even a SEAT Marbella ( essentially a MK1 Panda wit the cart sprung rear ) however a 59 plate later Punto broke that affection - we just didn't bond.
    Mate of mine gave me a go in a 2020 Panda Cross ( very new for me ) - what a blast !! What a great car.

      I do love an old fiat, I know what you mean about that year I. The range, something didn't click.
      I also love an Alfa now and then.

    I love my 2007 Panda. OK, it's not fast and it has issues. Having said that, it easily keeps up with traffic at normal speeds and is surprisingly nippy. It reminds me of the old Mini. Because it's so simple there is not much to go wrong. The fan belt squeaks on startup and there's a lot of road noise. However, I can get 40+ miles to the gallon and its cheap as chips to insure. You'd be mad not to have one!
