Looking at 1.4l petrol. Can fit a bike on the roof or fit a tow bar?

I've got one, you can.. its got fixings in the roof for a rack, and if you put the back seats down, with wheels off and seatposts out you can fit two large 29ers in the back.
Dunno about a tow bar..

You can fit a tow bar, funnily enough I sold a 2 berth caravan to a bloke that came and picked it up with a fiat panda, it was a 1.5 diesel but just looked strange.

Not sure whether after a Belingo that this is an upward or downward step 😉

Must admit to considering a Panda 4x4 TwinAir 🙂

I had one for a bit a few years ago. You could fit a washing machine in the back with the seats down, surprisingly spacious inside. Horrible to drive though, it had a really weird automatic gearbox setup that randomly jerked up and down gear. So don't get an auto...

Just sold my 1.2 petrol. Excellent car but a bit noisy for motorway work. Bike always went in the back with seat down, wheels off and saddle down. Fittings for roof rails are there as standard.

Once saw a bloke in a Panda 4x4 towing folks in rear wheel drive BMW, mercs etc. up the snowy hill to a local country club.

Mrs Cat has the 4x4 - brilliant car, it has roof rails so we have aerobars and roof carriers - can rails be fitted to 2wd? They are great little cars.

I have a panda with a Thule ProRide rack and can easily carry 2 DH bikes on the roof.

I love my one, however I do really fancy the Twin Air 4x4 too.

We have one and can easily fit two bikes in the back with wheels off . We checked this out on the test drive. We now have the fiat standard transverse roof bars which fit into the pre fitted mounts in the roof, they are too far apart for most/all roof boxes . Most people get lateral bars then fit cross bars then the roof box . I would check the sizing if you plan on carrying your bikes on a roof mount .
