They're like mountain goats, very capable cars! A lot of fun to drive and don't cost an arm and a leg to run or fix if they break. I drive the later version panda 4x4.👍
Oh yeah, saw a dude on TH-cam yesterday, who's panda was so deep in a river, it was actually floating, until touching the floor and gripping. (He had a major snorkel and gearbox breather mod though.)
One of your most interesting reviews, a massively impressive little car, never mind the plastic or lack of this and that, concentrate on what the car can do. £3000......an absolute bargain.
Brilliant Tommy I love Fiat Pandas and we own a Fiat 500 Me and my Mate took an old Panda 4x4 over a military training ground and it went over everything except a five foot water obstacle Bear Hull UK
One of the girls I know also drives Fiat Panda, however 2nd gen. And yeah, she probably doesn't want it to do any off-roading. When I save enough, I'll probably do some. Meanwhile you should get yourself a Lada Niva. It'll climb everywhere, so that a towing truck of municipal police wouldn't be able to tow you off, when you park up on a city office roof.
Poverty spec?! You don't know yer born, you mate . That's cutting edge tech in there! All the dash feedback. It's got a cigarette lighter. My last panda didn't have one at all. Anyways, it doesn't matter, cause they're completely modular, and every section can be taken apart by removing a couple of easy-access screws. The turning circle on the 4x4 is shit compared to the 1.1 eco active. I've got the exact same car as you have there (the 1.3 multijet turbo diesel?). I'm going to convert the rear into a day-van sort of thing, with fold away bench seat out the boot, for getting changed in/out of my wetsuit, tinted windows and flat floor for getting properly changed in privacy and out of the wind and rain. Also chilling and having a brew. Pandas 4 life!
The first, 1980s Panda 4X4, is still the best, super lightweight compared to latest ones. It is still used by local scientists to climb the Vesuvius vulcano.
Ik drive a regular panda and when i Tell you i abused this car i am not lying once whe rode like 80 km/h or so with 3 People in the car and jumping on a speedbumb getti'g like 3meters airtime or so done it 6 times only part that's Broken is my left front schockabsorber
These kind of cars are always heavily criticized because small, less luxurious than others, and so on. But Fiat have always made cars and other vehicles like that. In that way. To give you an example, the vast majority of those trucks you see in documentaries about people traveling through the Sahara desert, they are Fiat. Made before or during ww2. And still works nowadays like they are brand new. That is the definition of "reliability".
This is how u know he’s genuine reviewing shit because a fiat was my first car a punto and apparently was a death trap and like he said it should have been road worthy but it passed an mot they’re shit cars tbh but 35” for a year of driving it’s good
I have one of these, and they are truly brilliant - which is why you see so many in the Alps during the winter.

A car that you haven't totally ripped to bits (verbally and mechanically) - high praise indeed
Honestly, cracking review! I was really rooting for the panda the whole episode!
I’ve a mk3 4x4 Panda. Love it especially when it snows
SOLD! Brilliant snow test: that you!
I have owned one for the last 10 years in rural Scotland. Its is an outstanding car in any weather especially in snow. Those that know, know
Its not only the 4x4 ability of these little things thats great, the wading depth is also impressive

This guy is the funniest honest bloke on TH-cam. Love it.

Proper test lad !.. gutsy little thing
Best car review I have watched in a long time..🤣🤣👍👍🤛🤛
Put the 1.4 100hp motor in mine , total game changer, I keep it in the back of my 80 series Land Cruiser instead of a spare👍
😂
I have one of these - and you are absolutely right!!
100 times better than clarkson. Keep up the great work!
I love clarkson

Been waiting years for this
Love these videos
I am a Fiat fan... normal 1.2 2WD 8V ones, but this is really impressive !
Best car review I’ve seen 😂 brilliant
Now that was a good test ..😁👍
Brilliant cars.

Priceless, Tommy! 😂
I’d still struggle to park. Even with the magic city button. Doesn’t matter how light or smooth it might make it, because I’m shit at parking.
🙋🏼♀️ sir can u show us how it looks with a bike carrier or whatever? But not the roof ones? 😬 for two. 😬
Was that a smile I saw at the end?

I knew a lad who had a 1.4 turbo (Abarth) one of these, thing was rapid
The video though so accurate my gran has one currently, cracked me up 😂😂
thanks i have to buy one now

Did you switch the ELD on at any point or was it all 2WD?
It's always 4WD but normally rears engage when fronts slip. ELD keeps rears engaged all the time. But in those conditions he should've had ELD on.
5:10 what house???? 💀💀
Yep, cult status completely warranted for a change ..the panda 4x4 is a wee gem....
Great review again! im having a gid laugh!
You are way under subscribed man.

Its got a great gear box, despite your attempts to destroy it, on the road driving.
Fiat Panda 4x4 - Good enough for Roberto Baggio, good enough for me.
😂 excellent review and yes, as farmers we DO run them exactly as you did
😂 excellent!
😂👏🏼
Just it deleted off dpf the car and erg valve deleted off and get it remap
1.3 diesel? How does it perform now?
🤣🤣🤣 excellent car
How do I make sure none of these Tommy Autos videos ever come up on my computer? Is there a way to block these videos?
This is how u know he’s genuine reviewing shit because a fiat was my first car a punto and apparently was a death trap and like he said it should have been road worthy but it passed an mot they’re shit cars tbh but 35” for a year of driving it’s good
We all had shit cars growing up, it makes you appreciate things more in time
