I agree, a Panda is (at the moment) a sensible, viable alternative. I recently hired one for a week in Italy, nice spec, no stop-start, minimal unnecessary complications. Very enjoyable little car, highly recommended.

No doubt that will all change when the new Panda comes out .. probably with extra unnecessary length, weight and cost.. but of course much safer than the "deathtrap" it will replace...

Similarly the Seicento was excellent, probably the last genuine, sensible small car we will ever see. Just check out the ridiculous "equivalent" now offered by Toyota! Horrendous!

I agree with you, we should all be driving around in Model T Ford's and there shouldn't be any progress at all.

Give me a Fiat Ritmo any day. Bags of safety features in a truly inspired motor. Love em.

Amen brother... my mate had a 60CL.... 1100cc OHC, 4-speed, thrashed the hell out of it, 6000 rpm all day no problem. Proper 5-seater, probably the same size and weight as a new 500.

Now if only they'd remake my old red Delta 1300...

Bluejohn125,
My Cagiva bike has headlights wired to be permanantly on, which is a proper pain when you're trying to start a cold 650cc V-twin with a possibly sluggish battery, electronic fuel injection and a headlight on full chucking out serious amounts of heat and excess light. I'd rather not have to jump start the thing or call the AA....[/QUOTE]

The BMW cuts the lights when it starts so I dont have worries there... you should have gone for a BM haha
