Fiat Pandas

It may seem a strange car to devote a blog to - after all, it's not the most glamorous or sporty vehicle out there...

But the Fiat Panda is one of the unsung heroes of the car world - the modern version is comfortable, spacious, and if you have the 100HP version, even quite sporty. It's also surprisingly roomy, especially for taller drivers, and with the rear seats folded down you can fit a reasonable amount inside.

The dash mounted gear lever is easy to use, and you actually get quite a high up driving position for such a small car.

Plus I ended up with one, and I'm quite attached to it.

For the record, mine is a 2003 1.1 litre Fiat Panda in blue.
