| Re: A choice of four.... The Fiat Panda. A better looking car, in my opinion, and i don't really like any of the others.

| Re: A choice of four.... as much as it pains me to recommend a fiat, the panda 100hp would be my choice.  I only hope the fix it again tomorrow horror has now vanished.

| Re: A choice of four.... I would choose a swift, because they look quite funky and also a 3 door version of the new fabia.

| Re: A choice of four.... It has to be the panda in the dark metallic grey colour - it looks cracking and should be a laugh to drive. I'd also like a remapped 1.3TDI panda , but you can't get one in the right colours

| Re: A choice of four.... Don't know the price/specs but how about the new Twingo? Isn't there a small petrol turbo in that? |

| Re: A choice of four.... I have to admit the panda does look quite good so much I considered one when they first came out the 100bhp one looks good in red with a white stripe.

| Re: A choice of four.... I'm sure there are good deals on the Mitsibushi Colt they do it with a 1.5 turbo petrol. 0% finance at one time and they won't go wrong! |

| Re: A choice of four.... Micra Sport SR...more practical than the Panda, better steering feel than the Punto, more civilised than the Suzuki, quicker than the Mazda... Plus it's a Micra so you avoid unwanted attention. Rob.

| Re: A choice of four.... Fiat Panda shaves it for me over the Swift The lack of pare in the Swift puts me off.

| Re: A choice of four.... Panda 100HP for me too. Like the way it drives and also looks a bit different to the usual supermini too Do like the look of the Swift and new Mazda 2, but not driven either of them. Steve

Did look at the CZT but discounted due to running costs especially on the fuel front and the service intervals. Did like the fact that it is quite light and is easilly mappable to 180+

| Re: A choice of four.... I'd go for the Swift - much more solid than the Panda and the interior is so much nicer. When I looked at Fiats recently (granted not the 100hp) the interior build quality just seemed poor TBH. I'd also worry about Fiat reliability and customer service. The Suzuki seemed like a proper car and was actually pretty quick - handled well too

| Re: A choice of four.... I'd go for the GP sporting.... much quicker than the panda, and better equipped, cheaper, faster, and bigger, than the swift sport...... that 1.4t-jet is a nice engine too , one tuner claims they are all giving out 140bhp , even though they are supposed to be 120 (I don't believe them) has almost the same emmisions as the diesel version I drive, and gives 40+ mpg..... but then I'm biased
