Hello,
Just wondered if anyone had any experience of the Fiat 4x4 Panda. I realise it will not be in the same league as an offroader, land rover type of 4x4.
There is a 2 cylinder petrol version (I didn't know 2 cylinder cars existed) which has really low car tax and allegedly does 50+ mpg. Small size should make city parking easy, I am hoping? There is also a diesel version but some reviews suggest the petrol is better.
I have heard that due to its 4wd and perhaps its lightness, it performs well in snow (repeat disclaimer that I don't expect it to perform like a land rover!)
With my car having died (see other thread) I was wondering about getting one of these to get me around, whilst I work out what to do next.
I would also be interested in hearing about the sedici, which I believe was another 4x4 Fiat. I've never had a Fiat before but I live on the edge of the town/countryside, so some AWD (again, I have never had this before) capability appeals to me for muddy or snowy roads.
I would like a "proper" 4x4 with low ratio but I think they will be out of my price league at the moment. What would be a good 4x4 with low ratio gearbox: a discovery?
Thanks, Stephen.
