Panda My first Fiat (Panda)! Hello from Amsterdam

Introduction

I recently bought a 2008 Fiat Panda and I was immediately in love from the moment I saw her. We call her "Red Betty". She's beautiful, with aircon, a panoramic roof and upgraded wheels. My only regret is I didn't join the Fiat family years ago. This car is perfect for city driving and some highway driving. I've made it until this point in my life without a car in the Netherlands, but due to a new job, I needed a simple car to supplement, (not replace) the bike, train and bus (which is my normal commute).
Hi and welcome:) She looks great, envious of the panoramic roof:)

Pandas are the perfect car for just about anything! Mechanically tough, just make sure fluids are clean and up to level, and bodies are galvanised so rust isn't too much of a worry.

Just keep an eye on:
Rear spring pans
Rear sills
Engine oil sump pan
Coolant return pipe across front of engine

Clear out the 'duckbill' drains below the wipers, and mud trap behind the front springs.

Great advice, thank you I sure will.
