Fiat, now firmly back from the brink of disaster, has returned to its small car roots. GoodCarBadCar has given the wee Panda some attention before, but because such a large portion of GCBC readers will never see the world's best performance-car bargains, it is expedient that GoodCarBadCar finds them in action for you.
