Best hot Fiat of recent years

    Fiat have done many fun small cars over the years but which of the current crop will be a future classic. I have a soft spot for them but have never bought one as they just don't suit my driving.

    Personally for me it's the Panda 100HP, crazy fun, very unlikely looking hot hatch and just a bag of entertainment.

    Other cars in the running,

    Punto Abarth
    500 Abarth
    Bravo T-Jet

    What do you all think?

    Anyone driven the Panda 100hp? See one around me a lot, but you never really see them for sale anywhere.

    I have. Incredible fun on every road. It just needs the crap revved out of it............mind you the suspension would destroy your back before the car breaks I'd imagine

    I was limited to 4 options :o

    The coupé would have been in their but the Stilo doesn't cut the mustard IMHO

    I've never driven a 20V Marea even though I spotted one in Bray last year

    I love the look of the Panda 100. I have never driven one though.

    Most haven't!

    I'd say there was less than 10 sold in Ireland

    Hi shblob,
    I have a 2008 petrol t-jet 150bhp sport and love it, especially the sport button,lol
    There is 35km on it and not a problem.
    Best thing about Fiats is that people believe the "man down the pub says" negatively and this in turns keeps prices low.
    How many Fiat threads are in the motors section compared to VW ETC?
    It also has cornering lights in the foglights,hill holder,blue and me which also reads mobile texts on the move,usb socket.....etc etc.
    The only negative thing is fuel consumption,roughly38 mpg driving like a nun or about 28mpg when enjoying the sport button.
