Hi.
It's nearly a year since I saw MFL depart from my home.
I was in a once in a lifetime situation to take money from a pension and buy a more recent car.
I did lots of research but didn't want a car from the far east. OK they are generally well put together and reliable but the spares prices are way OTT even for simple things.
I decided on a 2014 Fiat Panda lounge 1.2 with the bullet proof FIRE engine.
A couple of niggles were fixed which was down to the poor dealer (Parks, just ask Jim Jameson) I put the issues right for little cost.
There has been no problems since and the car passed it's second MOT today with no problem.
I also had to use the car in really bad conditions last week and because it is quite narrow I could squeeze between other cars that were stuck due to driver incompetence and poor traction.
I'm more than happy with the Panda and would recommend it, also a recent drive in a Cross version I would say it is a very capable 4x4 and in many ways superior to a Discovery.
