not impressed with car vertical, no valuation, states was up for sale elsewhere but no links to the sales either, I did an £8.99 car check which had more information - have emailed car vertical, and no reply either - hey hoo, such is life
I bet as soon as this video went live you were inundated with enquiries. Lovely little car, much more practical than a Range/Land Rover for every day use.
Not yet lol
definitely more reliable and well built compare to anything Land Rover can churn out !
I own a Panda 4x4 Cross. It's the best car I've ever owned. I'll never be without one.
What a cracking little motor James. Friend of mine who lives in the mountains in Northern Italy has one of these along with a Range Rover, in the winter the Range Rover stays in the garage as the Fiat is unstoppable on the snow and Icey mountain roads.
The 4x4 panda had always been a capable little car . Mostly overlooked. Like the SJ10 that's now the stuff of legends and tall pub stories since Suzuki stopped producing them .
What a cracking 4x4.
Peace and love brother ✌️ 🧡🤗
Great car, it was my father's will miss it.
Great car for you to give to Brook for all her hard work!
Love these. Same in our area, perfect for buzzing about the country lanes.
Had 2 of the original 4x4 Pandas, both Sisley around 15 years ago, a grey one then a red one. 4wd selection via a manual floor lever , inclinometer, off white wheels, canoe logo on seats. Could not get it stuck how ever hard I tried. Mud, snow,ice, rocks, took it all in its stride.
Great video James, dad is very happy you are enjoying the car
Give him.my best buddy
I've always wanted a panda. Hired them many times in Italy and always enjoyed them. 4x4 would be fantastic.
Superb cars , I know quite a few rural vets who love these.
Good choice
Loving it when you were throwing it through those corners 😁
Love the style a lot of car enthusiasts look as Autotrader and think I would like to try that out. James looks Smokes a car like a cigar and moves it on 👏
Looks like a great little car that Panda. Something like that with the 4x4 is totally wasted in London but looks ideal for a little runaround in the sticks.
I’ve got diesel 4 x 4 panda. Love it, brilliant in the snow
Nice little car. Thanks for the video
Cracking little cars with tons of character and unique, quirky styling, absolutely fun cars to own and drive!
I have the twinair 2 cylinder 875cc engine which actually developes more power than the diesel, 85bhp lighter engine, cheaper to service, a no brainer 😁👍
what a fun car,thank you for the entertainment James,,👍👍
Cheers bud
I was waiting for the sound of a shotgun and 'Oi, Get orf my land!' 😂
Still useing a 1990 panda 4x4 1.0l 800 kg
Loved my Panda, cracking cars.
I have an Fiat Panda
0.9 TwinAir City Cross 5dr
2020, and I love it.
Panda 4x4 what a superb vehicle I had a panda cross 4x4 I had heated seats if you look that may have a heated front screen it used to be called a winter pack...they say that it should do 150.000 miles before the chain should need attention...they really are the best small cars and they punch way above thier weight...its my ambition when I can afford it to purchase another and rub it as a second car as I did before...I'm going to come and buy a car off you one if these days let's hope you have one of these in stock then...but thet 1.3 diesel really is a great engine...love it
Looks like your having great fun with your panda 4x4, really enjoyed the video I've got the twinair engine version and also enjoyed the snow we had in Nottinghamshire!
Great little review 👍..love the Panda 4x4..so simple and uncomplicated..Best 4x4x far..😀👍👍🤛🤛🤛
cheers
A mate of mine has the 900cc petrol version. Cracking car - he lives up on the Blackdown hills in Somerset and goes places Discos daren't. 🤣
Question: when you press the ELD button - the green light on the button stays on, the message on the middle screen about the engagement of the ELD scrolls - but do you also get the big, green ELD icon on the dash?
Great cars. James from prior experience I would recommend a bottle of dpf cleaner and premium fuel for a while with so few miles done on a multi jet diesel. Great little motor but can get coked up. Looks fab in that army green.
very wise ..I've had bad experience of this engine.
The only issue I had with my 1.3 multiJet (in a Punto) was the water pump failed at around 80k miles but it was really easy to change. Might not be so easy in the Panda!!!
Hope you let Brooke have a little drive around your mates field!
I bought the Twin air petrol Cross version in yellow last year as a toy and I love it. It’s my little mountain goat, go anywhere 😀🤣
Really fun video, and a very capable panda
Love Panda’s. Very underrated car 👌🏻👍🏻 Have you seen how much new ones are? £17,000 😮😳
Cracking update looks like a fun car
Always wanted the origional Sisley 4x4 Panda but drove too many long distance journeys to make it a practical choice.
Also in Cumbria they cost a premium and back then you didn't travel far to buy cars, a non local registration raised questions!
I too, am a big fan of small cars and am truly fascinated by a small, diesel, 4×4....unfortunately, a combination never offered in North America. Love the color, the wheels, that capable looking roof rack, tho since I live nowhere near snow, I think I could live without AWD. THIS and the 911 would do me just fine.
keep the landrovers if u live in country and don't tow ideal little car for narrow lanes and winter weather without breaking bank to run love it
Incredible cars. Searching for a petrol version for myself as a first car! How is it for headroom? I'm 6'5 - with adjusting the seat, do you think I could find enough room to comfortably do 2/3 hours at the wheel??
Love Pandas, just wish they did a better auto option.
P.S. sort the wind noise 🙉🙉🙉😉
Let Brooke have a go in the field. Great car and video.
Hi James,that will sell like hot cakes around our beautiful Devon countryside,definitely retail this one James and don't trade it out,should be pretty good mpg aswell on this one🙂👍
No to goo d to trade out
That looks a lot of fun. Like most things you get really.
I want to buy it but I really don’t need a third car.
I want a panda now
Bum warmers also come with heated windscreen as a winter pack.
Yes noticed the screen later
@@ChopsGarage just heated seat base sadly on them. Wish had heated front screen on Yaris. Only thing I miss.
Great video bud
I bought a 2013 Twin Air on 10,000 miles in 2015. Still got her, only on 23,000 miles now. Hoping for snow but we never see it in the midlands😢
With all the snow forecast, you might need to keep it a while!
Pretty capable cars I will admit!
the pandas are such a great little car, loved mine i had a few years ago,, do you still rate the Fiat 500's, daughter is thinking of getting one, but i always thought they were renowned for being slow especially on hills and maybe unreliable ? she has a kia picanto now, which i rate very well
Another good video 🚘🚙🚗⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍
Terrific cars, probably best car you've ever bought 👍
What happened to the cheap 500 do you still have it James?
It was Stus, went back to him
Thanks for content my birthday today love your honesty with your cars good car dealer not many out there like you
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday mate, it’s coincidentally my Birthday as well🎉
@@Lot76CARS happy birthday to you have a good day
Happy birthday Justin 🎂🎉👍 have lovely day from a stranger
@@tariqmahmood6497 thanks have a good day yourself
18k/2 years/when light comes on with diesel. Maybe service yourself and stamp with flushing oil. Then change again December if keeping.
Cheers buddy
I would love one of these or even just the standard Panda. But using my head instead of my heart it would not be big enough
love it
big issues with those engines all due to the long service intervals, do an oil change every year or every 8 to 10 thousand miles and they will last a very long time
Sisley. Oh no mk3. Never had one
Hi chops the wee panda has the winter pack fitted heated seats front heated wind screen
I've had problems with that engine bud but that's been at 100k plus, had a couple when the chains gone (jumped) but that's a megga miles, just had to refund a corsa with that engine due to no start, but that's 124k, I'm sure at that miles it will be great.
Try the 100 Hp for fun!
There's a lot to be said for little light well thought out cars..when you've done the fast and the luxury you realise they all get you there.... Very few folk have a money no object outlook...fair go to you if you have...tidy little thing that.
4 matching good tires usually means a car has been looked after IMHO
Hmmm - London...is this a ULEZ benefit coming your way James?
“I’ve never had a panda with heated seats before”.
Matt from High peak drove his 160,000 mileish 10 plate 1.3 diesel Panda from Lancashire to his/parents home near Malaga recently 1000/1100 mile or so and claimed it was doing 70/75 mpg on the motorways going . I've started to think over last few years Fiat's are far better cars than they are given credit for. Not surprising that the likes of the Alps & Pyrenees and all other high places throughout Europe all Generations of 4x4 Pandas are popular.
Yes saw that, Pandas are very underrated
Its permanent 4x4 the ELD is just to lock the diffs in arduous conditions
This won't hang around, because it's a useful and very practical small car. The fact it's also a 4x4 is a plus for those who live out in the sticks. Didn't Subaru make a little hatchback 4x4 years ago? The Fusty or Rusty or something?
Just great Carr but it was rusty as well !
👌👌
1.3 not a nice diesel GM engine. But. They do indeed well over 120k in corsa vans and similar and still drive strangled coked up. Imagine a nice free 28k mileage one be nice
I really like these, great colour and interior isn’t it… god forbid you start buying cars you don’t like (as much) only for stock😂 it’s was better than any Top Gear road test.
😄😄
Imagine a car lover, selling used cars and a couple of units.
You could almost imagine 1 of the units becoming a private " toy box"
Heaven's forbid.😇
theres one breaking on ebay
If you didn't let your Daughter have a sneaky drive in the field off-camera, tell her from me you're a mean Dad!
Had a few of these 1.3 diesel in pandas and doblos. They're generally problem free but the big issue we've had with them is DPF especially on the lower milage cars that were just used in and around town
I was considering one of these until I found out they had a 0 STAR crash rating. Don't have a crash in that mate
Ncap is 4 out of 5 on these
@Chops Garage I now see this. I was looking at a newer one ,2019, which is 0/5 shocking really. In reality, the older ones are just as unsafe. It's just the test got stricter and, therefore, the lack of safety was discovered.
NCAP has gone mental it's gone from assessing the structural integrity of the vehicles to include labelling and electronic driver assist aids. They should have two marks, one for how the car protects you in an accident and a second for the other stuff.
👍👍👍👍👍
ive got a panda not 4x4 i would like one
"everything in here is like brand new, except the mud on the mats...." is it pre-owned old mud then?
Somewhat troublesome engines those 1.3 multijets but aren't they all in their own ways? Best of a bad bunch etc etc.
The vauxhall CDTI version seems to be worse for some reason, and they do suffer from Turbo problems, I know of one that was needing it's 3rd turbo at 45k miles, can only assume it had never been serviced.
Lack of servicing will kill them, timing chains aren't the best and DPF issues but that's not a fair thing to say because almost all diesels are prone to DPF problems!
All in all not bad, but not the best either
the only fault on those engines ive heard is the camshaft can snap ( not the chain but the actual camshaft) causing engine failure...
That is 28.000 “city miles”, equals 200.000-250.000 motorway miles
Saw one of these go past a stuck landrover off road 😆 Harry Metcalf has one and loves it.
Does he? Knows his stuff
@@ChopsGarage He does indeed. Had it for a long time too I believe.
Hi James, if you are not interested in keeping it could I buy it please, been looking for one in this colour and mileage and they never come up, message me.
Bung me email, cgcars@jnbhltd, been a lot of interest mind
@Chops Garage okay will do thanks 😊 🙏
If the centre diff isn't locked, all the power will go to the wheel(s) that have lost grip.
Think what happens when two-wheel drive vehicle has one driven wheel spinning in the mud. The other wheel does nothing.
This doesn’t have diff lock as such, it’s basically an enhanced version of the electronic stability control system. It applies brakes to the spinning wheel/s thus sending power to those that aren’t spinning
@@TheRCBiker Thought that might be the case, but was really explaining to James the principle of a diff lock.
@@chrispop99 👍
Cheers buddy nice explanation
I would like to put James in a room with Scottie Kilmer. Be interesting to watch the debate. Scottie hates Fiat's and James thinks that they are OK
Small cc petrol Fiat will cost peanut to buy and run, whats not to love!
Scottie hates everything then changes his mind. I remember him saying never buy a Kia then sometime later saying why you should buy a Kia🤣
I couldn't be in a room with Scotty Kilmer. His voice *really* grates on me....
Don't run diesels low on fuel bud
Shame it's a diesel - economically unviable where I live.
Very low mileage for the cars age is not necessarily a good thing if its a diesel, suprised you didnt point this out ?
Not sure why I would unless the car had a fault.
Panda is Chinese for bear.
It is such a pithy that Fiat stopped making the 4X4. And it shows, second hand prices are quite steep. The 1.3 D is a reliable engine but it has very little tolerance to neglect (even Mercedes Diesels suffer if you don't maintain them). So you can blame the morons who skip the maintenance on their car for any bad rep this engine has regarding the chain.
Never liked Fiats. Have no need for a miniature 4 x 4 as just use a daily.
Why do I want it so much???
1000 miles in a year is no good for any vehicle, why not just sell it if you're not using it?
They have 🤦
What Stephen said
@@stepheng8779 bit of a stupid reply. They sold it after 4 years doing 4000 miles in that time. Its been sat for 45 months doing nothing and doesnt sound like they've even serviced it.. shouldnt take 4 years to realise you dont need it because its likely this car will develop all kinds of problems once it starts seeing some proper use again.
I’m a frequent visitor to Tuscany. These are 10 a penny, and for a good reason. Perfect all the year round, doing everything you need from a car in that part of the world. I like the 1.3 Mjet driven loads of them in the 500, Punto & Mito. Also, green is the right colour for of these. Good buy.
@@Liam....... So what it wasn't yours, you forgot about COVID did you when no-one could go anywhere & the fact it came from London? Have a guess the distance of most journeys.
We've got a car 18 years old only comes out in summer just under 30,000, should we sell it too? Perhaps this was only used in Winter?
Well done on your 2nd daft comment 🤦
Didnt hear most of this..wouldnt touch anything with a Fiat 1.3 multijet engine...poor fuel economy and unreliable if you do higher mileage as I know from bitter experience .
Get a wind baffling microphone for filming outside Its very annoying.
Get a life and stop nit picking.
Ok easy to get a life ill just leave the channel and that's one less for their views
