Comfort: Smooth riding but very noisy above 100kph=60mph. Requires earplugs, killing conversation and music on long trips. Other tyres on this make and model car have been much quieter.
Progressiveness: I concur with the X19 driver about understeer, vagueness and general softness. Cornering grip starts low and deteriorates with squealing or grinding as the front wheels drift wide; at least the back wheels never break loose. The front-wheel-drive Panda is no sports car but I have driven several of this same model that feel much better with different tyres.
Wet grip: OK on wet tarmac is the best I can say about the Continental EcoContact 3. Tread has few sipes (tiny grooves) so winter grip is likely to be poor (another reviewer described zero braking on ice).
Dry grip and feedback: Not good; feels like the road is wet even when warm and dry. Car never feels confident in a straight line and gets blown off course by crosswinds and while passing big trucks. Adjusting air pressures between Fiat's recommended maximum speed+load setting, then back down to standard pressures made little difference.
