In the life of the average Italian man, at some point there’s a moment when he will have a Fiat Panda in his hands.

This is my moment.

And the best thing is that it costed me 2500€ only.

What a beauty bros, what a shitbox.

1.2 fire 70 hp.

LUXURY

Cool, safe journeys bro.

>>28467191
Porsche can do THIS?

>>28467193
Thanks anon, this thing is so small it’s hilarious

I was looking for one too, but almost every Panda I have seen had a ripped driver's seat. Are the seats really that bad?

>>28467298
Who cares, they’re cheap and there are plenty of spares

>>28467196
Neat!

>>28467180 (OP)
It's small and funny but at the same time it bothers me that europoors actually drive these little shitbox type cars for their entire lives. Never owning a 500hp manual V8.

>>28467468
Our roads are third world tier, full of potholes and shit, driving a powerful car is a waste of money and mental health since there’s always traffic, people here drive like crazy shitheads looking at their phone constantly, also if you park your car in public it will be damaged no matter how hard you babysit it.

It’s not fucking worth it.

The 70hp FIRE engine is an interference engine (unlike the 60hp ones), so change the timing belt from time to time
>>28467196
Had one for a couple of years and I had no idea that was a thing
Oh well
>>28467298
Yeah pretty much, shifter boot for example will tear open after a just few months of driving. But you can get a used passenger seat to replace it if that's the only thing bothering you. If you're looking at 4x4s check the rear subframe for rust

>>28467493
I'm sorry, anon :(

On the bright side I've always thought that you should own at least one shitbox you don't give a fuck about. That way you can drive it as you please and if someone door dings it you don't care.

>>28467196
Now WTF?! That's nice
Anyway looks mint, nice catch Panda bro. Just don't crash it trying to "impress" some hoe/nigglets pls

>>28467186
>everyone just assumes you're a safe, cautious, defensive driver
>no, you're flooring it every chance
>it just accelerates that slowly
OP I don't know whether to envy or pity you. Wringing that little engine out for all its worth sounds like a lot of fun, but you're still driving a 70hp Fiat Panda. Good luck all the same.

>>28467709
My first car was a manual 1984 Jetta with 85hp. Weighed 2,150lbs. 0-60 in 11 seconds. Man I beat the shit out of that thing.

>>28467709
If the gearing's short enough, it's not gonna be too bad at (near-)city speeds. Plus you can do all kinds of fucktarded shit that would get you a reckless driving charge in a Stang and no one will bat an eye.

Pandas are kino.
My first car was a 2nd gen punto with 1.2 fire as well.
Light cunt fun to throw around with no power.

Enjoy lad
You made the right choice
Ignore the mutts who can never experience the mighty fiat shitbox

>>28468244
Thanks bro.

Any mods worth doing?

>>28467180 (OP)
Looks cool. Do you not have Suzuki's over there?

>>28468422
Yes we do, but the Panda is the Panda.

>>28468436
Cute name too anon. All the best with your panda adventures.

>>28468422
Fiat actually sold the Suzuki SX4 as the Fiat Sedici for a while.

>>28467182
Did you put that cat decal on the window? I love cats, so it’s cool and is better than those hentai stickers.

A good grocery and errand car is always nice.

>>28468438
Thanks!

>>28468444
I added it with the phone because there was my face in the reflection lol

>>28468384
Sorry op i have none
My 1.2 8v pubto was as stock as they come

>>28468509
Would it be retarded to wrap it white and turn it into an initial d meme mobile?

>>28469103
Yes, because the wrap would cost nearly as much as the car. Would be funny thoughbeit.

>>28467182
Ive never considered putting a sticker on my car but I understand the appeal now. Cute kot

Honestly, the car looks like it's in great condition for 2500 euros. Good buy. It's the European equivalent to a Kei car and it is highway legal. People who havent been to Italy dont know how narrow and sketchy some roads can be.

>>28467180 (OP)
Since this is a Panda thread, how is reliability like for the 169 generation? I'm thinking about picking up a "Climbing" with the 75 HP 1.3 MultiJet. I've read that the 75 HP MJ is the same as the 90 HP version in other cars just de-tuned, so they'll go up to 110 HP with a tune.

>>28472087
Had that exact car kek, but it was over a decade ago
The diesel was detuned to keep the transmission and transfer case alive IIRC, so boosting it may not be that straightforward.
Generally the whole car doesn't have any reserves for modding, if you want to lift it or add bigger tires you're going to run into all kinds of limitations as well. Few minor issues like window regulators and rear shock mounts (can be fixed with parts from another Fiat, I think it was the coupe) and major ones like rusty rear subframes and supply is limited these days. IMHO the best thing is to take it for what it is. It's top heavy, has zero steering feel and limited grip, 70hp with healthy torque was totally adequate for that. In hindsight it was really neat but back in the day I was annoyed by how quickly everything was wearing out. Might be because I mostly have japanese cars

>>28467468
No road long/straight enough to put down 500hp, and with few exceptions burger v8s sound like shit.

>>28467468
No road long/straight enough to put down 500hp, and with few exceptions v8s sound awful.

>>28472113
This is exactly the kind of information I needed. Thank you! I'm not looking to go fast, just thought some extra torque would be useful. Makes sense about the transmission and diffs. I don't really want a 4x4, but I travel solo a lot, and some of the places I go would be safer with 4x4. A Panda seemed like a nice compromise of having all wheel traction while still being easy to recover, fuel efficient, and cheap enough to abandon. Would you trust one in the desert?

>>28467792
when i was in china i saw quite a lot of these

>>28467180 (OP)
based and jamespilled

too many faggots crying about hp as if a Fiat Panda is supposed to compete with a Corvette

>>28467180 (OP)
based, kinda wish it was a 100HP tho

>>28472131
People there have all kinds of Renault shitboxes so why not
If I were you i would
>replace the stock plastic sump guard
>rear springs from a 4x4 van, they're stiffer and keep the rear from sagging with all the shit you're bringing along
>exhaust is the lowest point under the car, but it can be modified to sit closer to the underside
Don't know about the different trims, but I don't think there are any significant options to look out for as long as you find one with AC

>>28467189
Pretty good interior actually.

>>28472170
I've driven through that particular part of the world in a Twingo and in a Peugeot 205. It's definitely doable, but I found myself wanting more than 60 HP (ideally a turbodiesel) and AWD, so here we are.

Thanks for the tip on the van. I pack light, but it's good to know that they have slightly heavier duty springs. One of Panda 4x4s for sale near me is a van. I was also thinking metal sump guard (I've also seen rear diff guards). Thanks for advice on the exhaust. Feeling better about buying a Panda now.

2nd and 3rd gen pandas are ugly and gay as FUCK

>>28472187
Neat, glad to help and keep us posted

>>28467180 (OP)
>>28467182
>>28467186

I still don't understand why they aren't selling Pandas in south america.
I want one so bad

>>28472338
>muh gay

Looks sweet.

I had a friend that forgot where he parked his Panda so he got another one. The police found it in Aldi so now he has two.
Nice little cars.

Hello Panda bros, it’s op.

I’ve been testing her and getting accustomed driving it.

Honestly it’s even better than what I though, small things such as the auto climate control being powerful and fast, the standard radio having actually very good sound for a sub compact car and also the engine is zippy enough, instant reactions even though of course it doesn’t have power basically, but it’s adequate for 99% of the daily drive.

Driving position is a bit awkward but you get used to it.

What I don’t like? The side view mirrors being super small and the lack of sound from the engine, it’s too quiet.

I’ll have the rear windows tinted (just the dark film not actually tinting the glasses) and maybe I’m going to buy a sprint filter air filter to let her breath some more.

Would buy again btw, it’s too cute.

The 100 hp ones are unobtanium: rare or tuned/abused to death.

This faggot in the Yaris cut me but he was literally powerless against the TORQUE of the 1.2 fire engine.

>>28478998
Oh he’s getting a car loan for a fiat right now

>>28478990
RBP actually stands for "raped by panda"

>>28478998
Intense.

>>28467180 (OP)
i love driving around with my grandpa's panda. it has bonus style points because it has alpini stickers and an italian flag on the top part of the thrunk so that it's visible from behind.
PandAnon divertiti!

>>28478998
A truly dominant display

I miss the Stilo.

>>28467180 (OP)
Looks cute Anon. I like it, especially in Italian Racing red.

>>28467180 (OP)
my cousin had one of these in lime green. Pure soul

I'd enjoi a Panda in the south of France with a slender woman, but I certainly wouldn't buy one.

>>28478998
Overtaking from the right side is haram in civilised countries, you know that right?

>>28480070
I’m in Italy anon, the rules mean shit unless there’s police around.

>>28480070
it's not overtaking if someone is being a slowfag

It's funny how FIAT nowadays is more popular in South America than Italy itself.

Down there they get all sorts of models that Italy doesn't get.

>>28483051
The reason is simple. They're still allowed to make basic cars over there.

>>28480044
Slender? You lost me.

>>28480070
The Yaris was turning left anyway you dimwit. It's not a highway.

>>28467180 (OP)
>costed me 2500€ only.
>2500€
>only

>>28480298
Uhhh? Brown?

>>28484497
You occasionally see South American Fiats in Europe. If you want one you can get one.

>>28480298
>unless there’s police around.
I see Carabinieri just sit on their thumbs and watch traffic violations happen in front of them every day lel

>>28484557
Used cars in running condition now tend to start at €5000, so €2500 is a good price.

>>28484650
Which ones?

As much as I would never personally drive a car that small or with that small of an engine, I have such an appreciation for euros that have enthusiasm for such cars and make do with what they can despite the regulatory hellscape they live under. It was fascinating in a way to see my French coworker nearly shit his pants when I pulled in with the company truck with a 6 liter LS.

>>28486928
I laughed but fuck you. We poors should have fun too.

>>28487010
Fun? Do you drive this like the Flintstones car?

>>28487013
My jazz 1.2 has 90hp I drive it in High RPMs and my Honder loves it. Drive a smol, under powered manual shitbox with good tyres at its limit and tell me it's not fun.

I remember driving a few old 800cc and 1.2 suzuki hatches, probably a kei car, it had drum brakes and the manual was ancient ancient, it was so fun, a bit of gravel / off road, so fun, on road too you can make them scream. I'd presume you haven't tried under powered Suzukis.
