No 'For Sale' or 'Want To Buy' ads, plugs for your 'business', links to 'for sale' ads or Ebay links to your (or your mate's) auction (use the VZi 'Classifieds' section) - this also includes thinly veiled 'What's My Car Worth?' threads too . . . and please don't use JUST to post links to other VW Forums/websites - we are aware that other sites exist (obviously), but blatant 'plugs' (poaching) will simply be deleted.

I'm seriously thinking about a Panda 100hp as my next company car if they won't stretch to the 320d.

Or maybe even if they will.....

I'm going to drive one soon, and see if i can live with the size, but it makes a lot of sense on paper.

former mrs mig bought a bog stock panda, brand spanking new, for under 5K OTR.
outstanding value, really, quality seems fine, 3 yrs along and it's just passed it's first MOT with a single tyre needed; it's a bit gutless, as it's an 1100, but will buzz along at 80 quite happily, and doesn't appear to use any fuel at all....

me, i'm off at the weekend to test drive the 100hp as well...

Do you know which model you want?

Have you thought about/driven the 1.3 diesel? It punts along quite nicely and gets really good mpg (50-60 depending how you drive)
