I've got a 2013 Panda. I've had it 6 years now and it has never missed a beat. £30 road tax, £180 insurance, and the only non-consumable I've had to replace is one shock absorber. Absolutely love this car. It may be the last petrol car I ever own, as I feel sure it'll get the full electric treatment in the near future. I've had some much fancier cars in the past, but there's something about a Panda that just makes you smile.

Great to hear you're having fun with your Fiat Panda, Mark!

I own a 2016 Fiat Panda Cross and I’m absolutely in love with it. I live here in central Sweden so our winters aren’t that bad as in the northern parts but when it get icy and dicey on the roads I’m glad I have the 4wd to help me and it’s the first car that I haven’t fitted studded winter-tires on. Last winter I was up in the north and drove about 150km in 30-50cm of snow with absolutely no problem; the fuel economy suffered because of the effort but no other issues... One problem is that the AC-condenser is mounted in a bad place in the lower parts of the bumper so rocks and other debris ruined in three years and that was an expensive repair bill but otherwise it as been reliable!

Hi Tommy, thank you for your insightful comment 👍

My 2019 4x4 Twin Air is returning over 47 mpg, on a mixture of A & B roads. I don’t do a lot of town driving & have never taken it on a motorway. The only drawback I’ve found is the lack of space for my dog. I keep the rear seats folded down & have a piece of 4” insulation filling up the drop in the back, so it’s flat when she jumps in. It’s my first Fiat & I love it!

I recently bought a base spec 2016 Panda purely for its likability. It is outdated in many ways and there are objectively better city cars out there but the Panda puts the biggest smile on my face.

I usually change my car every couple of years but I might hold on to this little panda a while longer unless something else in its price range can change my mind.

Hello thanks for another impressive in depth review. I think Fiat as a brand are much maligned. I have owned three Fiats over a period of time, a Panda, a mk2 Punto and my favourite a Stilo Multiwagon JTD. All of these cars gave very good service and were really reliable. The Multiwagon was used for business and clocked up faultless mega miles only needing to change the battery and part exhaust when it was 10 years old. The "new" Panda is good and well priced but needs to be completely replaced with a new model to improve safety but with out losing it's character..

The engine design seems crazy. 1 bhp more than the older 1.2 seems a missed opportunity. To be honest, id still go for the Panda 4x4 with the twinair petrol engine. Its a gem, even on the motorway. Not sure what Fiat are thinking with this new 1 litre unit if the mild hybrid doesnt really do anything. Subaru are hopeless at Hybrids but at least they do give you a bit more power.

@jamescaley9942

Yes, the 1.0 has worse torque which means less driveable, more revs and likely worse economy in practice. For comparison the old EU4 1.2 was 102Nm at 2500rpm. Wouldn't be surprised if the next one is 70hp at 8000rpm.

Very well made test thank you I'm Fiat fan and I like this model ! I'm an engineer too and I'm concern by the environment so I hope the next version will have an aluminium body, the main specification if you want reduce the CO2 emission.

Good job.

I'd love Fiat to make a new Panda 2022 version while still having the flare of the old Panda, but now with three EV models, one with the small battery from the Fiat 500e and one with the bigger battery and also a cross 4x4 version with the bigger battery. Just take the motors of the Fiat 500e, the 95hp model for the cheaper version and 118hp model for the bigger battery model and then add an AWD model with one 95hp engine in the front and like 40hp in the back. Just continue selling the combustion engines with the old model and just keep the interior and exterior cheap as it is and keep it basic and this car will sell really well in Italy, as the 500e also sells really well. They have 6.000€ rebate for new EVs, so a base Panda should cost about 18.000€ after the rebate as the base Fiat 500e costs about 26.000€ with the rebate it's slightly below 20.000€. Also I'd love to see a lighter aluminium body.

I have to say less than 38 mpg doesn't sound very economical?

There are elements of the múltipla in it, which is a bit off putting to me. Not having a 4 cylinder engine doesn’t feel like it will have much of a torque, and that to me isn’t ok in my book. I’m sure it serves a lot of people’s fancy, and I hope they have good fun with it, but all things considered, I’m not going to look at the panda again. A small off roader is an interesting concept, but the panda is not exactly what I’m looking for.

Why not mention the weird steering on smooth main roads .

1.2 or 1.0 hybrid, which one do you pick ?

@jamescaley9942

The 1.2 was made worse with EU6 due to less torque, but Fiat have managed to make the 1.0 to be even worse again. It's all about looking good on paper for CO2 but worse in practice. The EU4 version of the 1.2 is the best but only available in the previous model.

The less CO2 the worse the engine drives. Ruined by emissions control which makes the engine feel useless as they have to map it in a certain way which makes it drive horrible.

Fucking soft generation that needs mummy to do everything for them. Thats why companies now pander to these weaklings and have to make sure everything is wrapped in cotton wool. Fucking joke.
