This does mean I'm now more leaning towards the normal Pandas.
They cost a fortune to feed and are reluctant to breed in captivity.

Quite reliable, not that complicated, nothing exotic parts-wise and the FIRE engines are widely used and very well known. Plus Fiat specialists and a decent owner community exist.
One thing I can tell you is you can take any car and someone somewhere will tell you not to get it because of XYZ, e.g. bouncy suspension. It's up to you to filter and assign values to this stuff.
