I bet as soon as this video went live you were inundated with enquiries. Lovely little car, much more practical than a Range/Land Rover for every day use.

I own a Panda 4x4 Cross. It's the best car I've ever owned. I'll never be without one.

What a cracking little motor James. Friend of mine who lives in the mountains in Northern Italy has one of these along with a Range Rover, in the winter the Range Rover stays in the garage as the Fiat is unstoppable on the snow and Icey mountain roads.

The 4x4 panda had always been a capable little car . Mostly overlooked. Like the SJ10 that's now the stuff of legends and tall pub stories since Suzuki stopped producing them . What a cracking 4x4. Peace and love brother ✌️ 🧡🤗

Great car, it was my father's will miss it.

Had 2 of the original 4x4 Pandas, both Sisley around 15 years ago, a grey one then a red one. 4wd selection via a manual floor lever , inclinometer, off white wheels, canoe logo on seats. Could not get it stuck how ever hard I tried. Mud, snow,ice, rocks, took it all in its stride.

Love these. Same in our area, perfect for buzzing about the country lanes.

Great car for you to give to Brook for all her hard work!

I've always wanted a panda. Hired them many times in Italy and always enjoyed them. 4x4 would be fantastic.

Looks like a great little car that Panda. Something like that with the 4x4 is totally wasted in London but looks ideal for a little runaround in the sticks.

Superb cars , I know quite a few rural vets who love these.

Great video James, dad is very happy you are enjoying the car

Loving it when you were throwing it through those corners 😁

Cracking little cars with tons of character and unique, quirky styling, absolutely fun cars to own and drive! I have the twinair 2 cylinder 875cc engine which actually developes more power than the diesel, 85bhp lighter engine, cheaper to service, a no brainer 😁👍

Love the style a lot of car enthusiasts look as Autotrader and think I would like to try that out. James looks Smokes a car like a cigar and moves it on 👏

I’ve got diesel 4 x 4 panda. Love it, brilliant in the snow

Nice little car. Thanks for the video

Panda 4x4 what a superb vehicle I had a panda cross 4x4 I had heated seats if you look that may have a heated front screen it used to be called a winter pack...they say that it should do 150.000 miles before the chain should need attention...they really are the best small cars and they punch way above thier weight...its my ambition when I can afford it to purchase another and rub it as a second car as I did before...I'm going to come and buy a car off you one if these days let's hope you have one of these in stock then...but thet 1.3 diesel really is a great engine...love it

Question: when you press the ELD button - the green light on the button stays on, the message on the middle screen about the engagement of the ELD scrolls - but do you also get the big, green ELD icon on the dash?

what a fun car,thank you for the entertainment James,,👍👍

I was waiting for the sound of a shotgun and 'Oi, Get orf my land!' 😂

Looks like your having great fun with your panda 4x4, really enjoyed the video I've got the twinair engine version and also enjoyed the snow we had in Nottinghamshire!

Loved my Panda, cracking cars.

I have an Fiat Panda 0.9 TwinAir City Cross 5dr 2020, and I love it.

Great cars. James from prior experience I would recommend a bottle of dpf cleaner and premium fuel for a while with so few miles done on a multi jet diesel. Great little motor but can get coked up. Looks fab in that army green.

A mate of mine has the 900cc petrol version. Cracking car - he lives up on the Blackdown hills in Somerset and goes places Discos daren't. 🤣

Love Panda’s. Very underrated car 👌🏻👍🏻 Have you seen how much new ones are? £17,000 😮😳

I bought the Twin air petrol Cross version in yellow last year as a toy and I love it. It’s my little mountain goat, go anywhere 😀🤣

The only issue I had with my 1.3 multiJet (in a Punto) was the water pump failed at around 80k miles but it was really easy to change. Might not be so easy in the Panda!!!

Great little review 👍..love the Panda 4x4..so simple and uncomplicated..Best 4x4x far..😀👍👍🤛🤛🤛

I too, am a big fan of small cars and am truly fascinated by a small, diesel, 4×4....unfortunately, a combination never offered in North America. Love the color, the wheels, that capable looking roof rack, tho since I live nowhere near snow, I think I could live without AWD. THIS and the 911 would do me just fine.

Really fun video, and a very capable panda

Still useing a 1990 panda 4x4 1.0l 800 kg

Always wanted the origional Sisley 4x4 Panda but drove too many long distance journeys to make it a practical choice. Also in Cumbria they cost a premium and back then you didn't travel far to buy cars, a non local registration raised questions!

keep the landrovers if u live in country and don't tow ideal little car for narrow lanes and winter weather without breaking bank to run love it

Incredible cars. Searching for a petrol version for myself as a first car! How is it for headroom? I'm 6'5 - with adjusting the seat, do you think I could find enough room to comfortably do 2/3 hours at the wheel??

That looks a lot of fun. Like most things you get really. I want to buy it but I really don’t need a third car.

Great video bud

Hope you let Brooke have a little drive around your mates field!

Cracking update looks like a fun car

Hi James,that will sell like hot cakes around our beautiful Devon countryside,definitely retail this one James and don't trade it out,should be pretty good mpg aswell on this one🙂👍

Love Pandas, just wish they did a better auto option. P.S. sort the wind noise 🙉🙉🙉😉

the pandas are such a great little car, loved mine i had a few years ago,, do you still rate the Fiat 500's, daughter is thinking of getting one, but i always thought they were renowned for being slow especially on hills and maybe unreliable ? she has a kia picanto now, which i rate very well

Pretty capable cars I will admit!

Another good video 🚘🚙🚗⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍

I bought a 2013 Twin Air on 10,000 miles in 2015. Still got her, only on 23,000 miles now. Hoping for snow but we never see it in the midlands😢

I want a panda now

Let Brooke have a go in the field. Great car and video.

With all the snow forecast, you might need to keep it a while!

18k/2 years/when light comes on with diesel. Maybe service yourself and stamp with flushing oil. Then change again December if keeping.

love it

Bum warmers also come with heated windscreen as a winter pack.

big issues with those engines all due to the long service intervals, do an oil change every year or every 8 to 10 thousand miles and they will last a very long time

I would love one of these or even just the standard Panda. But using my head instead of my heart it would not be big enough

Thanks for content my birthday today love your honesty with your cars good car dealer not many out there like you

Terrific cars, probably best car you've ever bought 👍 What happened to the cheap 500 do you still have it James?

Matt from High peak drove his 160,000 mileish 10 plate 1.3 diesel Panda from Lancashire to his/parents home near Malaga recently 1000/1100 mile or so and claimed it was doing 70/75 mpg on the motorways going . I've started to think over last few years Fiat's are far better cars than they are given credit for. Not surprising that the likes of the Alps & Pyrenees and all other high places throughout Europe all Generations of 4x4 Pandas are popular.

I've had problems with that engine bud but that's been at 100k plus, had a couple when the chains gone (jumped) but that's a megga miles, just had to refund a corsa with that engine due to no start, but that's 124k, I'm sure at that miles it will be great.

“I’ve never had a panda with heated seats before”.

Sisley. Oh no mk3. Never had one

There's a lot to be said for little light well thought out cars..when you've done the fast and the luxury you realise they all get you there.... Very few folk have a money no object outlook...fair go to you if you have...tidy little thing that.

Hi chops the wee panda has the winter pack fitted heated seats front heated wind screen

Its permanent 4x4 the ELD is just to lock the diffs in arduous conditions

👌👌

4 matching good tires usually means a car has been looked after IMHO

Try the 100 Hp for fun!

1.3 not a nice diesel GM engine. But. They do indeed well over 120k in corsa vans and similar and still drive strangled coked up. Imagine a nice free 28k mileage one be nice

This won't hang around, because it's a useful and very practical small car. The fact it's also a 4x4 is a plus for those who live out in the sticks. Didn't Subaru make a little hatchback 4x4 years ago? The Fusty or Rusty or something?

Hmmm - London...is this a ULEZ benefit coming your way James?

👍👍👍👍👍

If you didn't let your Daughter have a sneaky drive in the field off-camera, tell her from me you're a mean Dad!

I really like these, great colour and interior isn’t it… god forbid you start buying cars you don’t like (as much) only for stock😂 it’s was better than any Top Gear road test.

Had a few of these 1.3 diesel in pandas and doblos. They're generally problem free but the big issue we've had with them is DPF especially on the lower milage cars that were just used in and around town

I was considering one of these until I found out they had a 0 STAR crash rating. Don't have a crash in that mate

the only fault on those engines ive heard is the camshaft can snap ( not the chain but the actual camshaft) causing engine failure...

That is 28.000 “city miles”, equals 200.000-250.000 motorway miles

theres one breaking on ebay

"everything in here is like brand new, except the mud on the mats...." is it pre-owned old mud then?

ive got a panda not 4x4 i would like one

Somewhat troublesome engines those 1.3 multijets but aren't they all in their own ways? Best of a bad bunch etc etc. The vauxhall CDTI version seems to be worse for some reason, and they do suffer from Turbo problems, I know of one that was needing it's 3rd turbo at 45k miles, can only assume it had never been serviced. Lack of servicing will kill them, timing chains aren't the best and DPF issues but that's not a fair thing to say because almost all diesels are prone to DPF problems! All in all not bad, but not the best either

If the centre diff isn't locked, all the power will go to the wheel(s) that have lost grip. Think what happens when two-wheel drive vehicle has one driven wheel spinning in the mud. The other wheel does nothing.

Saw one of these go past a stuck landrover off road 😆 Harry Metcalf has one and loves it.

Hi James, if you are not interested in keeping it could I buy it please, been looking for one in this colour and mileage and they never come up, message me.

It is such a pithy that Fiat stopped making the 4X4. And it shows, second hand prices are quite steep. The 1.3 D is a reliable engine but it has very little tolerance to neglect (even Mercedes Diesels suffer if you don't maintain them). So you can blame the morons who skip the maintenance on their car for any bad rep this engine has regarding the chain.

Very low mileage for the cars age is not necessarily a good thing if its a diesel, suprised you didnt point this out ?

Panda is Chinese for bear.

Shame it's a diesel - economically unviable where I live.

Don't run diesels low on fuel bud

I would like to put James in a room with Scottie Kilmer. Be interesting to watch the debate. Scottie hates Fiat's and James thinks that they are OK

Never liked Fiats. Have no need for a miniature 4 x 4 as just use a daily. Why do I want it so much???

1000 miles in a year is no good for any vehicle, why not just sell it if you're not using it?

Didnt hear most of this..wouldnt touch anything with a Fiat 1.3 multijet engine...poor fuel economy and unreliable if you do higher mileage as I know from bitter experience .

Get a wind baffling microphone for filming outside Its very annoying.
