Panda 100hp and 4x4....

[irish boy]

Well having had a panda 4x4 with vredestein snowtrac 3's over the winter as a daily, I was so impressed with it that I bought a 100hp also. Haven't decided yet if I should sell the 4x4 or keep it till next winter as it's not really going to depreciate and I do have the space.

100hp is great, feels low and go-kart like after the 4x4 and feels like it's always wanting to play....engine sounds great too. The interior is a good place to be with bluetooth, climate etc...it's an 07 with 15k miles. Was serviced at 13k miles but that was nearly 2 years ago so I've booked it in with the local specialist for a full service on monday. Looking forward to getting to know it better!

The 4x4 has also been superb, bought with 16k now on 26 and hasn't cost me a penny other than doing the timing belt on time rather than miles and of course the winter tyres. Anyone considering one....don't be put off by the reports of slow-ness. Ok it won't set the world on fire but low gearing makes it feel nippy and it will cruise at 80 if asked.....but unlike many basic small engine cars it has bags of character and felt totally secure in any road conditions I've come across so far.

Some pics.....

Great pair of Pandas! I've considered both of these before and they have such character. Ever considered a Cross?

Love the 100HP, saving up for one as a first car, will be 19 when i get it and insurance is not too bad.

Love the the Fiat Panda, especially the 100HP. I looked at getting a Panda as a commuter car and slinging some 100HP wheels on it. Dont think the track is the the same though

Love it, I would have both of these in a heartbeat! Can't decide which one I like more though...

Cracking little cars these I wouldn't mind a 4x4 myself

Panda Alessi next?

Still really fancy a 100HP

Looks great in the grey too.

Any more pics of the 4x4 in action?

I'd love a 100hp. Not sure I could take myself seriously driving it tho!

Recently recommended a 100HP to a mate, both went along for a test-drive, cracking car and he was sold right away, bought one last week. Hoping to get a go in it, seem like fantastic little cars.

Love the 100hp

I used to work for fiat as a sales man and i had (what i believe) was the first uk registered 100HP as a demo / company car for 6 months. Had it on the road about a month before the release date. Stunning little car, i didn't want to give it up, but someone bought it.... Looked stunning in the New Orleans Blue.

They are both really cool little cars, you have good taste!

I like....then I saw the interior!
I'd still have one as a daily though.

I love the 100hp, and it would be a much more sensible choice for me as a student than the current car.

Hmm... Off to the classifieds and autotrader!

What does the fridge drive like?

Anybody else think a those two Pandas could be a great project? Panda 100hp 4x4 maybe!

Yes indeed, I have a 4x4 and would love 100hp to push it along. Could it be a simple engine swap?

Should be - the 1.4 petrol engine was available in the 4x4.
