That's perfect and just what I was looking for on the info side.

I only have one more question regarding the Panda....

Did I read correctly that it's a non-interference engine? That would be a MASSIVE selling point to me

I've read on the Fiat Forum that the Pandas that are fitted with the ''FIRE'' motor are non-interference.... but as there's a billion different models I can't seem to find out if that applies to all of them  :-\

I have a 1.1 Panda - and it's ace!   ...

It sounds very similar to my daughter's 1100cc  Seicento. She thinks it's great - independence etc, better than walking & better than the bus and does everything she wants it to. I find the offset pedals a bit awkward, but I only drive it every now & then.  :y

Same on the pug , cant drive in boots but can forgive it for that  ;D

yup - FIRE engine, so when something goes snap, nothing goes bang (supposedly).

Was a selling point for me too :)  Not that I'd push my luck on the cambelt mileage (honest)!!
