The Fiat Panda is often affectionately called "Pandino" in Italy. What could be more natural than choosing the town of the same name in Lombardy as the destination for a rally of Fiat Panda owners? What began as an event among friends has developed into the largest Fiat Panda meeting in the world. 365 Fiat Pandas from Germany, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Great Britain and Austria recently gathered in Pandino - a new record.

The guest of honour at the “Panda a Pandino” event in the Castello Visconteo, a medieval castle, was the new Fiat Panda Waze. The participants gave the new special model an enthusiastic reception. 200 Fiat Pandas equipped with coloured panels formed the words “Panda Waze”.

The Fiat Panda Waze is perfect for the age of social networks. In conjunction with a compatible smartphone¹⁾ The innovative navigation application Waze is supported, which opens up a new dimension of infotainment. With the help of Waze, over 100 million users worldwide share traffic information in real time. In this way, the navigation on the smartphone always determines the most economical route. The driver can also let Waze guide him to the cheapest gas station in the area or to the nearest garage. The Uconnect application is on board the new Fiat Panda Waze^®, which, for example, provides a hands-free system via the on-board infotainment system. This makes the Fiat Panda Waze, equipped with a 1,2-liter petrol engine (51 kW/69 hp), the best-connected Fiat Panda to date.

And that's why she's the perfect star guest for "Panda a Pandino". This cheerful meeting has its origins in an idea spread on Facebook. A southern Italian owner of a Fiat Panda called on her friends to drive to Pandino with her via the social network. At the premiere in 2017, around 200 Italian fans of the Fiat Panda answered this call. Just one year later, this number almost doubled, and "Panda a Pandino" has also gone international. The 365 participants in this year's meeting rounded off the event with a tour of Lombardy and a donation that was given to an organization that cares for families with disabled people in Pandino.
