Even mine, which is only 54bhp beat my dad's Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec to 40mph.... but beyond that... its just a joke.
Anyways.... As we are on the Subject of Fiat... How does the Multijet 1.3 Panda Perform? I was thinking of getting it as a next car because of how much milage i do...And... The nearest fiat dealer to me is 2 miles away.
Tell your dad to learn how to drive a car rapidly.
