24 HOURS IN ITALY WITH A FIAT PANDA - HYBRID WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer takes a Fiat Panda Hybrid with a manual transmission on a whirlwind tour of Italy, highlighting its surprisingly capable performance and fun-to-drive nature, especially when pushed to its limits. Despite its small size and mild-hybrid system, the Panda proves to be a capable companion for exploring both city streets and scenic routes, even tackling a steep parking garage ramp with surprising ease. The reviewer notes the car's basic but functional interior, strong air conditioning, and the engaging experience of driving a manual. While not a performance vehicle, its agility and the joy of driving it "full send" are emphasized as its key strengths. The video also touches upon the limited EV infrastructure in Italy and the unique driving culture, contrasting it with other European countries. Ultimately, the Panda is presented as a charming, robust, and enjoyable rental car for experiencing Italy.
