Re: There's a fiat 500 4wd????
The Panda 4x4 was, and probably still is, excellent for getting around rural Somerset. If all you are transporting is a few ledgers and a laptop, most 4x4s are complete overkill. My wife had one for years and it went up and down hills, over roads covered in mud, snow and slurry, through farmyards and the occasional flood, encouraging the occasional cow and sheep out of the way with total reliability. The power to weight ratio is about the same as a Series III Land Rover, 60BHP/tonne, and the running cost less than half. It once went to the station with a full load on an iced road, when we were the only vehicle moving for miles, and in FWD it was perfectly controllable.
Just because it isn't your use case doesn't mean it is not someone else's use case.
