These are great fun, loads of character! I bought mine last June and it makes me smile every time I drive it! Enjoy!
Saw this video only now, as we recently bought a 100HP for my wife. I own an Alfa Romeo 155 2.0 TS 16V and a E36 323i. Both lovely classics. But contrary to popular belief, the BMW in this case has turned out to be the one with the most things going wrong. I really love that BMW, but it has really tested me almost 10 years now. The Alfa Romeo's only expensive maintenance has been cambelt services. That 155's build quality has really surprised me. Unlike the BMW that headlining has never sagged, the doorcards never came off, the central locking actuators never broke, the shock mounts never broke, the HVAC fan never stopped working. I can go on and on. Alfa is a 1995 model and BMW a 1996 model. I really love both cars, so this is just an honest reflection of my personal experience.
On the other hand that FIAT Panda was a bit of a money pit, as a result of poor maintenance by the first owner.
Have to say I've not owned a BMW yet that didn't cost me money to maintain, I think the "German Build Quality" is only really relevant when it comes to the interiors, and even then... the steering wheels/gear knobs, and door card plastics start to peel after 3 Years! nice looking cars, but not in my opionion without FAR TOO MANY "known faults" as to the Fiat, they too need decent maintainance, find a good One and they are awesome little cars, but there are a LOT of money pits out there, people tend to abuse these little beauties, which is a shame.
I agree, BMW's reputation for German build quality is maybe not entirely deserved.
The FIAT Panda 100HP is a great little car, now the all the deferred and bodged maintenance has been sorted out. The engine and gear ratios are sporty and the car is much more capable than other small cars. I went to see about 20 FIAT's including some Punto's. The were all poorly maintained. Bought the Panda as it showed potential to be a great car. It is so depressing to find a well looked after FIAT.
@@MLC... Getting pretty rare to find a 100hp now, especially a well looked after example! I think these will end up being quite collectable in the near future :)
I agree. Very rare in here South Africa as well. I doubt if 200 came into this country, probably less. They will probably become cult cars in future.
That was a really thorough review!....
Great fun little car, exhaust burbles away, holds corners well, flick the sport button to have fun. Sounds best at 3k revs.
Agreed, great fun cars :)
Nice little car, a lot of fun to drive, cheap to run and full of character, what more can you say! I have a Panda 4x4 0.9 Twinair Turbo Antarctica and I really enjoy driving it. The other good thing about the Panda is you don't see many about like the Punto and the 500 👍😎😁
Love to see this up against the Daihatsu materia. ....
Do you have any tips for buying used cars? I am looking into my first car, any help will be appreciated. Thanks
I might actually be making a buyers guide quite soon, so keep watching :)
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes great can't wait! I have seen pretty much all your content, by far the best vehicle reviews buddy. Thanks
I can help trent
I have one of these (2009 year model in black) and the suspension is incredibly harsh (might even be an understatement). Is this normal for these cars or is something wrong?
Check the bump stops inside the rear springs, these are known to fail, and make it feel very harsh, not a cheap fix though.
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes thanks for the info. I will give them a look.
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes is there anything at the front that should be checked. The front struts were recently replaced but feels harsh front and back
@@douglashealy They are quite harsh generally, but no more than a Mini Cooper S would be, so if it's really too much, just have it checked out at a local Halfords? they do health checks for free most of the time, or maybe join the Facebook page and ask on there, they can be VERY useful when you join groups for specific cars :)
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes Thank you 🙏
I bought mine 6 years ago..... this car is the most fun I ever had in a car..... it's a go cart you can park anywhere..... it's fast and you can fit two 6 footers in the back..... Yes I still have it and I will NEVER SELL ... my other car is a fiesta st mk7.... I'd sooner sell the ford...
I actually really regret selling mine :( - I would have another One tomorrow if I could bloody find One for sale at what I sold mine for haha
Hi Chris, just wondered if you'd mind messaging me/giving me some advice on the Panda 100hp?
Sure mate
Jaime find me facebook Christian Hobson (leeds) I have a raf mt drivers banner behind my photo...
Would someone over 6ft fit in the driver seat?
Why isn’t there any front wipers?
@@HIOP0 I literally just remembered, I took both wiper arms off to re-paint them, as they were looking a bit crappy, and they were at home drying when I made this video. hope that makes sense now :)
Had one of these years ago and bloody loved it. Mine was a red 57 plate had low miles as it was only few years old at the time. I remember driving it around constantly in sport mode as the steering was so fucking light in normal mode. You wouldn't believe how much certain exterior parts like a front bumper cost for this! I had an argument with a patch of mud and a fence on a country b road resulting in me having to fix the thing and it needed some suspension bits plus a front bumper and wing. Cost just under a grand in bits direct from fiat! Would have another any day was a blast to drive. Cheap now too.
This One needed new rear bump stops for the suspension, as it was clunking over speed bumps, but I never got it done as it was silly money! so I know what you mean about some bits being expensive, but at least the cambelt service is bloody cheap :)
Hi ya , there is a very good chance my next car will be a Fiat Panda 100 , i just love the look of the thing ,
Why do you tut after every sentence!? Love the car though
That's this channel ruined
Right?!
That looks really good nice wheels color and tinted windows in really good shape aswell really nice looking car 👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍
Great idea for a channel this... Would love one of these, I almost bought one a few years ago. Only problem is I'm very tall and big so not sure I'd fit..
Well I'm 6.1 and I fitted in this with ease, however as I predicted, the prices of these seem to have gone up quite a bit, most likely due to the lack of them for sale!
Thanks for the reply, I'm 6'4... They're pretty rare cars, the 4x4 versions are also interesting but even rarer.
@@yourwholeexistenceisalie1274 tbh that's your own fault a person ur height should but a range rover or somat the cars for normal size people tbfh wid u u should buy a big car
I've found this car down in Cornwall looking at buying it will let you know if I get it. Great vid thow can't beleve I found it.! 👌😉
Great fun little car, and I know the cambelt was done a couple of Years ago, as I got it done :) (I can't believe I sold it for £1200)
Dam that is cheep yea there's 14100 on the clock now so cambelt should last another 3 years. Still looks as good as in the video. Still has the sub and stero in it. 👌
Hay well I baught this little beauty today well happy with it great car dam quick enough isn't it. Cracking stero and sub sounds great! Will be keeping this little beauty for a few years esp now there going up in price. 👌
@@darrenbaldwin2732 Yes I could never find One for sale for what I sold mine for now! I haven't even seen One for 2 Years. Good to see my Sub wiring still works lol
Hay there so did you have service history when you gad the car? How long did you keep it in the end did you do any work on the car mods inside or out? Thank you.
This is the car i want to get 😁😁 had a secenti before and loved it. Gettin back on the road. Heart is set 😊
These are now REALLY hard to find under £2000! and I sold mine for a lot less than that, I would buy another One tomorrow :)
You will not regret...... it's a hard ride and the front wheels need to keep checking for alignment issues from speed bumps. I had mine 8 years
Yeah im really excited about gettin. After the secenti i got a micra and i regretted it so bad. Done alot a research this looks like the best bet 👍 😊
Had mine years...... if you need advice long term let me know
What year would be best? Iv bein lookin and im thinkin 2006 pushing to 2007. Very short on cash so doing all this on a budget. Would it be a waste of money to buy one this old? And thank you 😊
Is this car fuel economy?
Yes it's very good economically :)
I got my Fiat Panda 1.2 dynamic 2007 semi auto. I Love 💕 my Panda.
@@geeteshrajkumar7443 They really are great little cars :)
Cheap and reliable
@@geeteshrajkumar7443 And VERY easy to work on generally :)
Really useful vid - looking to get hold of one of these. Bit worried about the boot space though...what are the chances of me getting my road bike in the back with seats folded down?
TBH with the seats down there is more room than you might expect, with the front wheel off the bike, it might just fit in there :)
With the seats down and wheels off it will go in no problem.
i think you can adjust the rear seats on these if im correct ??
Manageable
You tut more than skippy the kangaroo!!
Terribly sorry
Annoying as f and haich
nice car this is my dream car
Great fun cars had one 3 years
So you swapped an Alfa GT which only really needed the bushings and the stat doing for a rusty BMW?...oh dear
Not quite, the GT also needed a cambelt service, and I did get some cash plus the BMW in the deal :)
Great car only problem is the steering lock
I'm looking for one of these. rare find.
Funny enough it took me a lot longer to sell this than I thought it would? but good luck with your search ;)
Jordan M Even rarer if it has the old Fiat logo
I really want one
I really want another One, these are awesome little cars!
