they're the most hideous cars currently for sale anywhere in the world and yet people buy them.

They didn't want to lose that title after discontinuing the most practical car in the world...

Sadly the multipla never came in auto which is what my wife is starting to need. Wonder how much work a swap would be?

Split the difference. Fitting a new clutch/used gearbox at 4-figure mileage intervals is probably cheaper and less hassle than an auto conversion or a divorce.

Nah, she's looking to need an auto because of her back. If I'm dreaming big swaps though the Nissan leaf is wide open to the enthusiast crowd and has been swapped into most types of car.

Because what a fiat needs is more electrickery right?

As soon as my wife doesn't need a big car/people carrier I'm getting her a sage green 500. She absolutely loves them both to look at and drive.

The sport is just a base model 500 with a body kit.

Drive a turbo or an Abarth.

This. Anything not covered by the list above is a tarted up panda.

A quick Google suggests a uk-based 500(original) or 146-based kit car. That is absurdly tiny and adorably. Want one.

Nevermind the future the present isn't looking great for reliability.

I hope Ferrari pours out something lame and Lamborghini re-issues the LM 00-whatever kicking off another Ferrari/lambo tiff.

I realised last night it's possible to fit 15's on the panda. Looking on eBay this opens up so many terrible possibilities...

Mine has factory 15" alloys on? or is yours a MK3 and is 15" wheels a MK4 thing?

I have loads of 4x100 Saab wheels! Will these fit on a 4x98 Panda?

Mines a 58 plate, mk2, 13s standard, 14s in the 100hp but apparently 15s fit. I need to try.

Also wobble washers or whatever they're called. Not sure I trust them but many people do.
