The Panda in Italy was a 1.2 petrol. Not sure of spec but it had aircon and roofbars. It was quite nice actually but under powered for hills when they were windy and you had to go slow. A lot of the area in Tuscany where we were then! So I don't recall what I calculated as mpg but it was crap. But on a slow, windy, steep road I was sometimes in second!
The Passat on order is a Passat CC GT 2.0d 170PS with a few extras like climate seats and bi-xenons. But that car would be nice to drive but on some narrow Tuscan roads, the Panda was probably better suited.
We'd hoped we'd get a FIAT 500 and some did. We didn't and we'd booked the holiday ages ago with hire car included. And maybe I could have got one. But some of the roads I went on were basically unsurfaced so felt the Panda was better suited anyway.
I can recommend a great restaurant we went to a few times in San Gimignano which was nearby. Booked two nights on the terrace months before returning :-) I have so far tried cooking wild boar once since being back but not as good as at the restaurant.
