The Fiat Panda has become New Zealand's most affordable European small car with an opening price of just $14,990 plus on-roads but like the famous panda bear that deal faces rapid extinction.
"The Panda is the epitome of what has made Fiat a small car legend," said Fiat Chrysler NZ's David Smitherman. "On one hand it is an intelligent design that is safe, spacious, economical and intelligently designed, but on the other hand it is also a car that is stylish and cute, fun to drive and easy to own.
"We have a strictly limited number of Pandas in 'captivity' here in New Zealand and we want to set them free to find them new homes as soon as possible."
The Fiat Panda Lounge is priced from $16,990 (plus on-road costs) - a saving of $5000 compared with the normal prices for Fiat's smallest species. The price includes a three-year/150,000km warranty.
