Remember the Cinquecento Sporting? Tiny car, tiny engine, sporty seatbelts and teeny-tiny alloys. It was slower than a class full of inbreds but far more fun.Well now it has a spiritual successor. We like the Fiat Panda, though judging by the tiny number out on our roads the rest of you don't.
Now though Fiat are set to launch a 100bhp version with flashy front and rear bumpers, decent allows and a revvy little 1.4.
0-60 still takes the wrong side of 9 seconds, but for less than ten grand and with 40mpg+ and low insurance this could be the perfect ticket for 18 year old lads in need of some Italian style without breaking too far into their piggy banks.
