Well after only a few months of ownership our Panda is dead. We had a hard hit into a parked lifted SUV at between 30-40 MPH. The car has been totaled by insurance even though there is no frame damage at all. The car could be repaired with bolt on parts but they cost $14K and the salvage value is around 12K according to the adjuster so she is economically dead. My wife had a sore neck for a couple of days but is fine. The airbags did not deploy. We had a 2 gallon gas can in the frunk as well as a level 1 charger and the inflator and none were damaged despite the frunk being pushed back 2; from it's orignial location. The frunk was fractured. The lifter SUV went over the crash bar so all the damage was to the fenders, hood and frunk plus the mechanicals up there but the carbon fiber safey cocoon was not touched at all.
The dealer sent out a bunch of people to inspect the car and all were very happy the way it reacted to the lifted SUV.
