Score: 4 / 10
“Hybrid technology doesn’t do enough to mask the Fiat Panda’s age. It remains a charming and quirky car, but almost impossible to recommend in today’s new car market. It’s incredibly slow, not all that fuel-efficient and devoid of any sort of interior technology that buyers expect these days.”

“The Fiat Panda 4×4’s mix of city car and SUV traits remains as unique as ever. This version adds expertly judged style to the list, making a truly distinctive car all the more appealing, while the characterful TwinAir engine serves to make the Panda even more quirky, with the Cross quirkier still.”

“Is the Fiat Panda Cross a bargain small off-roader or an overpriced Panda? Depends on your point of view. It’s genuinely capable off-road, great in the city (no speed bump too big, no multi-storey too steep, no parking space too small) but in all honesty a bit rubbish on the open road.”

“The price tag might seem expensive for a city car. But it’s not bad for a perfectly fit-for-purpose, superbly engineered off-roader, with a clever little engine and excellent driving characteristics that will embarrass those behemoths in the field and hold its own on the road.”

“Building excellent small cars is something Fiat does extremely well, so it’s no surprise to find the Fiat Panda is one of the best models in a class that includes the Skoda Citigo, Kia Picanto and Hyundai i10.”

“It soon becomes obvious that the Fiat Panda is not only the most interesting city car, but also the most capable by far. The normal Panda doesn’t feel like a city car, and the 4×4 version distances itself from this category by an even greater margin.”

“Fiat knows when it’s on to a good thing and the Panda 4×4 is just that. It may not be a huge seller, but it’s a crucial part of the Panda line-up and has a history going back four decades. This makes it a key pillar of the Panda range and one that many of its owners couldn’t contemplate being without.”

“The Fiat Panda is spacious, practical and family-friendly. There’s a larger boot with a wider tailgate plus more space for those sitting in the back, both in terms of width and legroom. It can even be specified with a sliding rear seat bench which increases boot space should you need more.”

“People talk about things like ‘charm’ and ‘character’ when discussing the Fiat Panda, but the cold, hard facts that we measure cars by prove it to be a terrible choice. It’s below-par to drive and isn’t very practical, but by far the worst thing about it is its utterly abysmal Euro NCAP safety rating. Please avoid the Panda at all costs.”
