Faults:

Faults in the electric power steering, often associated with excessive use of "City" mode.

Rear shock absorbers may show consistent premature wear.

Minor problems with equipment such as the radio, burnt-out light bulbs, and door handles.

Engine noise in the cabin and short gears that can be uncomfortable on the highway.

The car's interior, while superior to previous generation Fiats, is not of the best quality.

Despite these minor drawbacks, the Fiat Panda is an economical car to maintain, with inexpensive spare parts and good corrosion resistance. Most of its faults don't leave the vehicle stranded and are easy to repair.

General Comments:

The Panda Cross is a very small car, perfectly suited to urban use. I bought it two years old with almost 4,000 kilometers on the clock, practically new and at a very low price. It's an inexpensive car that, so far, hasn't given me any mechanical or engine problems, and it's incredibly economical (3 liters per 100 km, a little over 4 in the city).

They come in a wide variety of colors; mine is perhaps the most striking, yellow on the outside and black on the inside. Despite being a very small car, I was surprised by how spacious it is inside for a microcity. Four people can travel comfortably.

Although the noise increases with speed on the highway (unsurprising, it's a diesel), it's not at all unbearable. The suspension is quite good, as is the handling; it's easy to maneuver in this car, you're more than comfortable in the city, and it has enough power and speed to not be a burden on the open road.

I think the 1.3 Multijet engine is even better than the 0.9 gasoline engine; so far it's been fantastic and moves the car quite well. It not only has more power and torque, but it also handles very well and has incredibly low fuel consumption. Yes, it's one of the smallest cars on the market, but it practically consumes nothing, which is something worth highlighting.

This car is another option, like the Dacia Duster (which I was thinking of buying), for those who want a practical car with decent 4x2 capabilities. It's not a pure off-roader, but it doesn't pretend to be, and the people who buy it won't need to go off-roading. Rather, they'll want the confidence to tackle more or less challenging tracks that a normal car or even most SUVs wouldn't be able to handle, making it suitable for everyday use in the countryside or for easy parking and maneuverability in the city, thanks to its size, which is its main advantage.
