You'll hate my new car :)

What's the boot space like?

OK it is taller rather than deep.

I have the sliding 50/50 rear seat option so it can be expanded.

Annoyingly the spare wheel jack and tools are in a bag in the boot.

The only thing I hate about this is the colour!

I nearly went green, I liked both choices. But orange looks great in the metal, I could not decide. Orange was a little cheaper so that tipped the balance for me.

Is it comfortable? My girlfriends panda 2011 is seriously uncomfortable, but at least it's got low running cost...

On that note how come you didn't by used? How much out of interest? (I could Google it but cba..)
 
I would definitely have one of these if I lived in the mountains in Sicily.

As we live in England, I'm not sure I see the point, but hey, at least it's different :p

2012 version onwards is completely different comfort wise. I'm avergeish height 5"9 so everything fits me. I find it very comfy.

Not many used trekkings out there (UK seems to hate any non 500 Fiat). After you start getting picky with spec and or colour very few. Autotrader has 5 petrol ones in the whole country.

Manufacturer deposit contribution made it cheaper then buying a nearly new one.

List price with all the options ticked it would be £14,350.00 (£13,075.00 in white with no options) I paid a bit over £11,000.

Rides over my local bad lanes very well suspension setup lets you go a bit quicker then you might in some lower cars. Little noisy on the Motorway I think due to the Mud & Snow tyres.

Surprisingly it handles body roll well.

Twinair is fun has great character, sounds a bit like a motor bike but has decent enough in gear acceleration. Engine itself is quiet at motorway speeds.

by motorbike you mean moped? :p

Maybe it's being 6' that doesn't help..... I didn't *hate* the car before.... But knowing what you can roughly get for £10k..... What's the bhp in it?
 
I hope we have a lot of snow this winter and you get to wave at all the BMW drivers pushing theirs.:rolleyes:

I think it's neat :)

Mine has 85 bhp. Cross (even more rugged 4x4 version) gets a 90bhp version.

Thanks. I hope I get to play in the snow this year.
 
I don't hate it... I like it for what it is.

The Panda is quite highly rated, isn't it? Not sure why you think it would be hated on here.

You must have impeccable mental health to be able to drive one of those. I'd rather die than drive that thing.
