Fiat Panda review (19/09/2012)

WHATEVER happened Fiat? Once upon a time the Italian giant has a great relationship with the Irish public and employed a fair share of people in its operation here. It regularly scored respectable sale figures and back in 2000 had a remarkable (by current standards) 9% of the Irish market and the country’s best-selling car.

In the January – June registration period this year Fiat had a 0.92% market share in Ireland.

Fiat will tell you that it has had neither product nor pricing strategies which would allow it perform to its full potential here, but the stark figures are still shocking.
