Other than the 'box, how did it compare in general to the 100HP?

Obviously it's faster / has bags more torque - But I found half the fun of the Panda, was keeping it on the boil, and maintaining momentum at all costs...

It was a little 'Elise-like' - Fun could be had at sane road speeds, as it had more grip than power :mrgreen:
You've hit the nail on the head...

I think I woudld have less smiles per mile as there's a greater expectation that it is better, but it does feel more damped/distant. If it was miles better and a discount was available I would have jumped by now, but £10k gap for a wee bit better is mad.
