For some months now I’ve been talking to a friend, giving my thoughts on which new car his girlfriend should buy. Having moved from the mean streets of London, down to the narrow leafy lanes of Dorset, my friend has now narrowed down the new car choice to two possible suitors – either a new Suzuki Ignis, or a Fiat Panda 4×4. After much deliberation, said friends have finally made their choice, selecting the versatility and style of the Panda 4×4 over the equally tempting Suzuki; or so they thought.
