Panda 100hp on Fifth Gear

This is the second time Channel Five’s car TV show Fifth Gear has shown Fiat’s Panda 100hp, and the second time it has been a waste.  First, they pitted the car against a Ferrari 360 Modena around a tight, twisty track which, admittedly, highlighted the Panda’s excellent handling, but failed spectacularly to give us any [...]
