A FIAT Panda 4x4 will only last for 34 000 km.

I thought I would buy a European manufactured vehicle for my daughter because of their reliability. My wife has been driving a Panda for the last 18 years, and I thought the new models will also be reliable. What a disgrace it was to realise that after buying a new Fiat Panda 4 x 4 that it will only last 34 000 km.

At no fault of ours this vehicle left my daughter at the side of the road at a mere 34 000 km. The vehicle was serviced by FIAT as per the warranty, but the latent engine defect was never addressed by them.

The vehicle will cost more to repair than what it is worth due to the inflated repair costs of the dealership.

Please do not buy a Fiat Panda!
