Fiat Panda 4x4 TwinAir (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Steve Moody, 28 January 2013 09:10

When the very first Big Willie tanks clanked and crawled across the killing grounds of the Somme, it quickly became apparent that weight is not helpful for vehicles off the beaten track. Odd then, that nearly a century later we are still attempting to grind our way across hostile terrain in blasted great things of many tonnes. Handily, we’re not ...

Fiat Panda 0.9 TwinAir (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Phil McNamara, 27 January 2012 11:03

This is Fiat’s third-generation Panda, which goes on UK sale in February 2012. Fiat has buffed up interior quality and features over the outgoing car’s, and plumbed in the TwinAir two-cylinder turbo engine, which was the version we drove. This being a city car and us being CAR magazine, we perversely took the Panda as far from its natural habitat ...

Fiat 500 Twinair (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Greg Fountain, 18 January 2011 08:03

The Fiat 500 TwinAir is a fascinating prospect. This is the point where Fiat’s kitsch reworking of its iconic 1950s city car elevates itself to a new level of 21st century relevance. The TwinAir engine tested here is, according to Fiat, ‘the greenest petrol engine in the world’, yet it features no batteries, EV trickery or hybrid drivetrain. It’s just ...

Fiat Punto Evo 1.4 MultiAir Turbo (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jesse Crosse, 02 October 2009 13:01

The Grande Punto has done well for Fiat, only the sparkling new 500 outstripping it for UK sales during the last 12 months. Its replacement is the Punto Evo, essentially a facelifted Grande Punto with new interior and exterior design treatments. Although, 'replacement' isn't strictly true because (unusually for the UK market) the Grande Punto will live on in basic ...

Fiat 500C 1.4 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 25 June 2009 18:00

The 500 has been an unprecedented success for Fiat. Last year the company’s revitalised UK dealer network shifted 15,148 500 models, and this year that number is expected to climb some 34% to 20,310. And this sales success will be bolstered by the arrival of the 500C convertible. On sale from 2 July 2009, the dinky 500C echoes its 1957 predecessor ...

Fiat Fiorino Qubo 1.4 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jesse Crosse, 15 September 2008 10:00

Fiat reckons its Qubo (that's a bastardisation of the Italian for 'cube') might fulfil a new market segment, as the funky and stylish answer to young, cash-strapped urban and suburban buyers looking for a car that’s both a lifestyle accessory on one level and an affordable, versatile workhorse on the other. That's the marketing waffle. We can't help feeling that ...

Fiat Bravo 1.6 16v Multijet Dynamic Eco (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Jesse Crosse, 29 May 2008 09:56

Establishing whether or not a car is fun to drive is entirely subjective and what some might find an absolute blast, others may think is dull as ditch water. So the boys and girls at Fiat Powertrain have come up with what they call the ‘fun to drive index.’ The idea is to turn drivers’ perceptions into numbers and so ...

Fiat 500 1.3 MultiJet Sport (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

CJ Hubbard, 23 January 2008 13:55

Well, it’s finally here. The new Fiat 500 officially went on sale at 8pm on Monday 21 January – precisely 500 hours into the new year. And whether you like it or not, it seems destined to be the car of 2008, picking up awards left, right, and centre – including CAR’s very own Car of the Year accolade. But ...

Fiat Panda 100HP (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil Ward, 02 November 2006 08:30

What’s this, surely not a hot Panda? Well it’s been a while since 100bhp constituted ‘hot’ but that’s essentially what you’re looking at. It’s been a while coming: when the upright Seicento replacement was first unveiled in October 2003 it was pulled along by fairly tame 1.1 and 1.2 petrol engines. Later, the torquier 1.3JTD arrived but even then, the ...
