1994 Fiat Panda Fizz review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap and cheerful little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust rattled at idle and between gear changes.
Injector malfunction warning light illuminated when driving over 70 mph.
General comments?
This is a great small car which costs pennies to run and always starts first time. The above problems were easily solved with a simple D.I.Y service, and didn't cost a fortune either. The exhaust rattling was quickly cured with a new exhaust clamp, which only costed 3 pounds.
The 1.0 injection engine is very nippy in traffic and has no problem keeping up with motorway speeds. This makes motorway journeys all the more fun in a car of this size.
Reliability is a plus, as my Panda always starts first time and gets me from A to B in any condition, and cold starting isn't a problem either.
All in all, a cheap and cheerful little motor which is a pleasure to own and maintain, and great fun to drive. This car is far to under-rated in the U.K.
