It gets better with mileage, my Twinair Trekking took about 5000 miles
to properly 'loosen-up' and felt better still (with a few MPG jump in
fuel economy) after its first oil & filter change at 10000 miles (highly
recommended despite not being mandated by Fiat...)

I hope yours is as trouble-free as mine's been

That colour really suits it.
Does the Trekking have grey wheels as standard now then?

Love that colour. Interesting that it now shares the 'silver' bumper trays with the 4x4, so little to tell them apart now

Curious: in your dashboard photo, there's only one switch for the fog lights, with both symbols on it? My 4x4 has two switches - one for fronts and one for the back. Does the switch now turn both on at once?

The Fog Light Button turns on the front on the first press - the back ones one the 2nd and both off on the 3rd.

And yes it's a 4x4 body - the only thing missing is the 4x4 logo on the side...

Well after the weekend I've only found 2 snagging issues....

A minor fleck of unpainted part on the passenger side rear door and a missing bit of plastic panelling in the passenger side footwell... - handy if I want to rewire the car... not handy for neatness.

Dealer will get a call tomorrow.

Apart from that, it's great fun!

My mistake nothing missing from the Car - I thought the footwell in the passenger side was missing a panel since the Carpet just ends but looking at every other picture of 4x4's and Trekkings on autotrader it's all good...

Now back on topic - Yes it has Grey Alloys with Continental Cross Contact 175 65R 84T M+S tyres.

I wonder if all Trekkings are coming out like that now - since they are the rarer breed of Panda I'll prob not see another one for a while and then the only way to really know is to look for the 4x4 logo on the side.

Well - Just a small update.
The Cars running a dream
Nearly 500 miles in it - it had a 100mile trip on Sunday from Newcastle to Scotland Border and back.... 47.9MPG :yum:

Could well be Fiat simplify the production line or benefiting from economies of scale by only have one set of bumper parts for the Trekking/4x4.

Really like the colour, shame you don't see more

Hi there

I've had zero problems for 15 happy months of ownership.

Over the last year I've managed over 50 mpg and most of the mileage have been lots of small journeys in, over and around the Cotswold hills where we live.

Hopefully these attachments will work from the phone
