They do them in white and may be I won't test drive, I need to save the pennies 
And pow, book figure is 43.
But I could give a f**k, they look a hoot to drive and worth sacrificing.

I'd love one in the blue colour.
You can pick them up for 2 years old with average miles on for under £6k iirc.
Anyone know what the reliability is like on newer Fiats?
6 big ones for a panda?
not even if it had 200bhp

Depends what you want from a car.
That is still with low miles and plenty of warranty remaining. Yes, you could buy a CTR for that or something, but it will have miles, warranty, and be a lot more to insure.
Granted, I probably wouldn't spend £6k on one (I'd rather a Punto for extra space) but considering the performance and equipment, they're bit of a bargain.

Would love one but want a bigger car Astra/Focus size.
I'd definitely have one in my 'dream' car garage as the drive to the shops hoot.

Hooked up to a keen chassis and a thrashy 1.4 engine, the Fiat Panda 100HP proves that you don’t need a lot of moola to have some serious driving fun. Yes, the ride may be hard and pogo-like at the best of times but the handling is sharp and the steering beautifully direct. Straight line performance is excellent for a car with such a small engine and the single chromed exhaust pipe lets out a glorious Alfa-esque warble all the way up to 7000rpm. Bellissimo!

I guess after the response to the thread the answer to my original question is no, it isn't wrong of me to want one

Don't get it at all.
Horrid looking thing and 100bhp and I imagine the thing isn't that light.
I would have to drive one to be convinced.
