The stats on the new Fiat Panda City Cross probably won"t have you struggling to breathe, because a 69bhp 1.2-litre with around 75lb ft of torque isn"t exactly earth-shattering.Or anything-shattering, to be honest - 62mph comes in a languorous 14.5 seconds and 96mph is a pretty tame top end - making it one of the slowest-accelerating cars out there. But there"s always been a place in Top Gear"s automotive toolbox for a Panda, for no other reason than it"s a useful little supermini.The City Cross is pretty much as you"d expect: a Panda Cross (which lists at just over 15k) with front-wheel drive only, reasoning that you don"t need AWD for tarmac, but might appreciate some suspension travel for speedbumps and potholes. It costs a fiver under 13k, with the standard Panda 4x4 weighing in at 14-grand.
