  Hi mastercrap,
  
  maybe u can check this out,
  this is a 10mths old panda.

  Italian brand, Poland made, Italian QC.
  good F/C, can drive auto and manual.
  heard there is a manual version now selling 2k cheaper than auto.
  this car come wif ABS and air-bag in term of safety is better than Rio,
  but the boot area compare to Rio is smaller due to the size of the car.
  Rio F/C think not so good, wondering why dun u consider a Vios instead?

  Hi! I can tell u abit more info about Fiat car. Im driving a Fiat Punto(5-door) now. it has a very gd fuction call "City Mode". it helps to lighten the steering wheel when driving less then 60km and this also help parking much more easy. FC wise i not too sure for Kia Rio. From wat i heard Fiat Panda is doing around 15-16km/L. Very smooth for driving long distance. But its has bad point. It has a slow pick up and the engine reaction is very slow. And is not that spacious as Kia Rio (The 5-door). I sit b4 inside the new Kia Rio (5-door). the front sit is very comfortable and spacious compare to my car. perforamce for Kia Rio i not too sure. have to ask around. =)
  
  sorry my english kinda bad... hahas...
