necessities F


ia t has proved masters at mak­ ing tiny cars with enormous appeal. Take the Panda.


The current Panda had a great start


in life, picking up the European Car of the Year award upon its introduction. This was good going considering that the original range offered only a choice of 1.1 or 1.2-litre petrol power. Fiat quickly put that right, however,


introducing a torquey 1.3-litre multi­ jet diesel here in early 2005, at the same time as petrol buyers also got a 4x4 option. Now the range has moved on further still, with a 1.4-litre petrol engine offered in the latest Panda lOOHP flagship, and a general refresh­ ing inside and out for the rest of the range, priced from an eminently affordable £6,890. As before, the entry-level 1.1-litre


petrol engine is only tor those on a really tight budget. Few will regret shelling out a few hundred pounds extra for the more powerful 60 b.h.p. 1.2-litre 8v unit, which looks set to continue as the most popular engine option. The final petrol choice is that pokey


1.4-litre 100 b.h.p. power plant, its out­ put quite enough to give the Panda a decent turn of pace by city car stan­ dards (0-62 m.p.h. in 9.5s on the way


to 115 m.p.h.). Also bound to remain popular is the 70 b.h.p. 1.3-litre Multi­ jet diesel engine that returns quite astonishing fuel economy figures. The first things many will notice


about the Panda are a revised grille, smarter lights and a sleeker front air dam assembly. The headlamps are larger and sit accompanied by fog- lights recessed into the air dam, while rubbing strips keep things protected from harm. For the rest of the range, the silhouette is much as before. The Panda offers a choice of four


different rear seating layouts. There is a one-piece bench with two or three places, a 50:50 split option or a sliding 50:50 arrangement with rake adjustable backrests and ISOFIX attachments. This can boost total boot space by up to 30 litres if rear leg room is not a priority. Build quality is better than ever, the


Panda enjoying a good reputation for rugged durability. The latest model comes in a choice of 10 body colours, of which five are new, and there is a choice of eight cabin upholstery finish­ es. Fiat claims that the Panda is the only city car to have 99% of its interi-

Ford Mondeo Zetec - it’s a question of sport


. . . ' V . - By JONATHAN CROUCH ■ ’

is what Ford does best. Witness the success in these terms of the Focus. Most now understand this to be a driver’s car, a repu­ tation the company wants to extend to its larger Mondeo models. Hence the existence of the sporty Mondeo Zetec range. This is the best-selling trim choice in the


P


or lined. The range starts with the £6,890


1.1-litre Active, from where you can then step up to the 1.2 Dynamic. Above this are the identically-priced 1.2 Dynamic AirCon and the 1.2 Dynamic SkyDome, effectively giving customers the choice of air condition­ ing or a vast electric sun roof. From there, the next priciest model is the 1.3-litre MultiJet Dynamic diesel, fol­ lowed by the well-specified 1.2 Elegan- za.


Most city car ranges would stop


there, but the Panda line-up finishes with some very attractive “boutique” models.


The 1.2-litre 4x4 offers all-weather


off-road ability, while the 1.2-litre Alessi might just be the most stylish city car currently on sale. Mnally, there is that sporty lOOHP


version, which features a 1.4-litre engine, a six-speed gearbox, lowered suspension, all-round disc brakes and a big bagful of fun thrown in for £9,995. Equipment levels have been boosted


across the Panda range, and options include big car features, such as smart windscreen wipers, follow-me-home headlamps, ESP stability control, a Hill Holder function, parking sensors, an j\IP3 stereo system and Bluetooth


mobile phone compatibility. As you might expect, no Fiat Panda


is going to demand oligarch cash reserves to run, and the model around which most of the range is built, the l . 2-Iitre petrol, is a ease in point. This car will return an average of 50.4 m. p.g., that figure rising to 58.9 m.p.g. on a run and sinking to 39.8 m.p.g. around tosvn. Emissions are a relative­ ly saintly 133g/km. Fiat did not have to try too hard to


improve this Panda. The basic formula of the biggest city car in its class that’s very good to drive hasn’t dated at all, the latest flourishes merely underlin­ ing what a good buy this car is.


Mondeo range and pitches in just above LX level in the pecking order, offering a choice of two petrol engines (a 1.8 and a 2.0-litre) or the TDCi common-rail turbo diesel (available in 113,128 b.h.p. or 154 b.h.p. forms). There is the usual three-way choice of


body styles (saloon, hatchback and estate) at prices which start at £17,195 for the 1.8, from £17,720 for the 2.0-litre, from £18,195 for the Euro IV TDCi 115, from £18,695 for the TDCi 130 and from £19,195 for the TDCi 155. Prices run up to £20,195 for the top Euro


IV compliant TDCI 155 estate. Whichever you choose, the principle is the


| 0


same. What Zetec Mondeos set out to do is to draw attention to one simple fact: that no other medium-range family rival is (in Ford’s opinion anyway) better to drive. In other words, the wolf is now in wolf’s


clothing. © ? 4 0 6 ! ^ 1 .2 D y n a m i c , 5 d o o r
