Should you buy a Fiat Panda 4x4?

If you ever go to the Alps, you’ll see Fiat Panda 4x4s absolutely everywhere. That’s because they are genuinely hugely capable when driving off-road. Its diminutive size and light weight are actually a real advantage, because it can skip over deep snow and mud that bigger, heavier off-roaders sink into. Indeed, there are few places the Fiat Panda 4x4 won’t be able to venture.

That off-road ability doesn’t demand any compromises in everyday comfort, either. It leans over noticeably when cornering at higher speeds, but it still feels smooth and stable. The steering is accurate and light, especially in City mode, which lightens it even further so you can twirl the wheel with one finger. The TwinAir petrol engine has enough power for pretty much any situation and it makes a delightfully characterful noise.

There’s space for four adults to sit comfortably (headroom is particularly generous) and the boot is big enough for most people’s weekly food shopping. The back seats fold down if you need to cram in more stuff. It’s also worth noting that the Fiat Panda 4x4 is really affordable to buy and running costs are very low.

There’s no other car quite like the Fiat Panda 4x4. It’s just as easy to drive, efficient and practical as any other version of Fiat’s city car, yet it can shrug off the worst terrain and most severe weather that any owner would face in the UK.
