When a car is branded with its power output, you know it is going to be good. When Fiat released the Panda 100HP, engineers focussed on fun and speed. With less than 2,000 sold here in the UK, they are quite a rare sight too.
When 'CaptainMorgan' was looking at replacing his Skoda, his memories of seeing a Panda 100HP as a teenager came flooding back whilst scouring the classifieds for Toyota Aygos.
A daily eBay search threw up a 52K-mile grey example for under £2,000; it needed a few things, but nothing major.
The first 24 hours had him wondering whether he had bought a remote-controlled car or the real thing, trying to lumber his six-foot frame into it. As the car weighs less than 1,000kg the power goes a long way but the ride is extremely firm. However, the OP implies this makes it feel like a go-kart. There's a new exhaust on the way too... We would love to see some more updates on it soon! Congratulations 'CaptainMorgan', your Fiat Panda 100HP is our Reader's Car Of The Week.
