Fiat Panda reviews

I mostly use a car for the weekly shop, with an occasional trip to the airport (55 miles away) or a nearby town. The car's size and comfort are just right for me, with the boot holding exactly the number of shopping bags I usually fill. It has never given me a problem since a very early under-warranty failure of the door lock. The driving position is adjustable and therefore high enough for short people like me. Very happy with this car!

Nice enough car with reasonable costs but I found the finish and build quality rather poor. It is however really nice to drive and with good amount of space, suitable for most things. It is a cheaper car to purchase and perfectly good for it's cost but I would prefer to have a more sturdy and better quality finish. Easy to drive and park with it's City setting to lighten the steering, which is already very light. Some good features included, such as rear wiper automatically coming on hen put into reverse and front wiper on, but some features lacking I would expect as a normal part of a modern car, such as rear parcel shelf automatically dropping when back door shut. I do however recommend it

Nice little car. Shame the quoted mpg can't be met unless you do 50mph for 30 mins on a flat, straight road. Probably more an issue with the marketing claims than the car itself.

I am extremely pleased with this little car all aspects from the drive to reliability are excellent. It is very easy to park in even the smallest spaces . It is predominantly used for two people but can and has transported 4 although not good if it was a long journey as back seats limited space and does not have rear headrests.

Very impressed with car would recommend it,

VERY HAPPY WIYH THE PERFORMANCE OVERALL, WE DO A LOT OF MILAGE PER YEAR, I DO HAVE IT SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIS WHICH I FEEL HELPS WITH TROUBLE FREE MOTORING

i've had my fiat panda for nearly 6 years now and it has never let me down, not once! i don't do a lot of mileage but i have been on long journeys and it is so comfortable to drive, i feel like i'm sitting upright so my back doesn't ache when i get to my destination! i love the way the back seat just flips over to make the boot area much bigger! it's fast enough to pull away from junctions etc, doesn't lag behind at all even though it's a small engine, though if you're looking for something super quick then this is not the car for you!! and it's very economical. i would be happy to recommend the fiat panda to anyone looking to buy a small car! i'm as happy with it now as i was on the day i bought it.

This is the second Panda I have had and I haven't been disappointed. The seats are extremely comfortable and the seat position is high so , as someone who has back trouble, there is no bending to get into the car. The drive is very smooth and steady. The last Panda was really good in snowy conditions - even without winter tyres. I like too, on this model, the petrol tank with no separate cap . So much easier. I will certainly be buying a Fiat Panda again.

for the cost of a panda, it is a very economical and comfortable car

Easy to drive and very good on fuel, the Fiat Panda Eco benefits from an annual road tax of just £30 and being in a low insurance group. Although fairly basic in design, the car is relable and gives very effective performance. One criticism is the foot controls. The accelerator pedal is very close to the wheel arch and it's easy to make a mistake!

This is the third Fiat Panda I've owned, the second from new. I commute around 80 miles a day, both urban and motorway conditions, and I have found the car very comfortable and easy to manoeuvre in what can be very stressful driving conditions (both the road and the weather). It suits my needs as a small car - it is fine just for me but also can take four people quite comfortably and there is a surprising amount of room in the boot. When I need a new car, I will definitely be looking to replace it with another Panda.

I love my Panda, she is so easy to drive, park and economical, she is suitable for City driving.

Very pleased with my purchase.Car fulfils all my needs,is practical and reliable.I would purchase another.

I love this car(as a sporty little car)It performs excellently for its engine size,goes like something off a shovel when you need it to(sport button switched on)mainly because of its lightweight size,however because of this(it weighs less than 1000kg)i also find it frightening in wet weather as it tends to aquaplane and drift very easily. As i am getting on towards 60 years old i feel i am pushing myself and the car to our limits in a fun filled frightful but exciting drive each time,i feel compelled to drive the vehicle as it was intended to be driven, so because of this and its lack of carrying capacity/impractability(for my needs)i do intend to change it for something less sporty and more carrying capacity.

I got this car as a city runaround to get me to work and back but find it is far more fuel efficient on longer journeys than the short ones it is supposedly built for. Other than that it is a very good car, no problems with reliability and friends who ride in it often say how spacious it is for a small car and how they enjoy feeling higher off the ground than normal.

Excellent value for money,spacious comfortable reliable

Cheap to Tax and Insure. Running Costs not too bad, although I would prefer it to be more economical with the fuel. Reasonable amount of space for a small car, and the rear seats can be lowered to make quite a big luggage area if required.

Love it style brilliant

The Panda is as cheap as chips, carries anything from a wheelbarrow to a cement mixer and a huge weight in logs.Does nearly 50 to the gallon, but I wouldn't recommend it for comfort or great distances. Great utility car.

I do very little driving these days (about 3000 miles a year!), but when I do, I want to be able to sit fairly high so I can see the road and park easily if I have to. The Fiat Panda suits my needs perfectly, especially compared to the behemoth Mitsubishi I had been driving. It is certainly nippy enough to hold its own on the motorway, big enough to hold my weekly shopping or transport three friends in bearable comfort. While it was under warranty the driver's side door lock failed, but it was fixed promptly and courteously at the dealer. Otherwise I have had no problems. It is just the right size for me, yet I don't feel like an old lady driving it!
