Thanks! I spent a lot of time researching cars and was confident this was the one for me. Unfortunately, I didn't get to drive it for another 2 years but now I can!

I had a Bravo 1.6MJ 105HP with 234lb/ft of torque. My respect for that engine is complete. I did 100,000 miles averaging around 64mpg and the only issue was the EGR. I would regularly add wuynns diesel clean as I think it may reduce the risk. I chages the EGR for a Fiat original and the cost was £199m including labour and tax. I never had any other issues. Its a superb engine way way better than its given credit for. I towed our caravan at least 10,000 miles and it was the mother of towcars. Take car of the gearbox, change the oil every 20K or so would be my advice and it should do you really well. Im still tempted by a 500x even though its no Panda. Pandas are, or course, the best cars in the world!
