Have a 2014 Fiat 500 in the family and it has been one of the most reliable cars we have had. Just over 180k on it now and the issues are fairly minor. As a couple others have said, it'll be quirky stuff that goes wrong like the door handles, and good servicing is harder to find than it should be. Overall it's a fun little car and it's done well. North Yorkshire. Feb 7, 2014. #9. I did over 50,000 miles in 2 years with my 500 TA and only recommended servicing (18,000/36,000miles) no early oil changes and it never skipped a beat still felt fantastic when swapped it in for the Panda 4x4 TA last month. Torque steer is a non-factor, steering is lightweight and precise, and visibility is outstanding. Presto: the (for me) ideal urban car is a micro-SUV. So there we are. The Fiat Panda 4×4 is great in the country and it’s better in town. It’s no good for high-speed, long-distance driving (too slow, too bouncy), so it’s not for me. I recall that the Fiat panda have been highly regarded on the PistonHeads forum as a first car mainly due to it having more then average HP, compared to the typical first cars ,which tend to only have around 60-80hp. And due to the fact it's not a typical young person's first car it should be cheaper to insure then less powerful cars. Drain and flush well. Then add some citric acid granules; I use about 5 little packs from the supermarket that's used for baking, diluted in a liter of de-ionized water and top up with same. Drive the car for about 50-100 km and then flush well with a bit of baking soda for neutralizing any residue. The new Fiat Panda 4x4 has just the right amount of visual gumption to enhance the city car’s appeal. It’s still cute, but with just a hint of purpose to it – a bit like an angry jelly baby. zaS1. 6 days ago · Future Classic Friday: Fiat Panda. David Ross, Editor. Fri, 05 Jan 2024. Italians are great at certain things. Food, wine and football, naturally, but also small cars – it’s hard to think of a small Italian car that was ever anything but entertaining to drive and brimming with character. For Fiat, small cars have always been its bread and Unpretentious and hardy, the Panda remains an icon of small car-ness. Fiat tells us some 284,000 Pandas have been shifted in the UK alone over the past four decades. You know about the good ones. According to The Drive, Italians know this little car as “the best made Fiat.”Elsewhere, Classics World wonders if the Panda is “the best Italian car ever.”While we wouldn’t go that far to name the Panda the best Italian car because Ferrari and Lamborghini fans will have a meltdown, we’ll surely acknowledge that this rugged little monster delivered comfort and the best driving Save. You'll be perfectly fine with those cars. We hired a Fiat Panda (against the advice of some on this forum), and it took us everywhere all over the island without problems.
