Did you face any situation where snowchains needed but you couldn't put them due to the limit we have with our tyres?
 
amazing for fresh snow but what's happening when the snow is not so fresh and ice is formed under it.
Have you been in such a situation?
 
Very nice panda, nice to see some top spec cars knocking about, as will save me the effort in several years time*.

Great place for a panda too, as the 4x4 does help in not so grippy conditions, and combined with snow tyres you'll be getting places much easier and safer than mercs and 2wd audis etc (we have 2x 4wd audis, and they are great in the snow and icy roads!!).

I have seen a 1.3multijet diesel 4x4 in a showroom in sunderland, it was the 90bhp version I think, it was RHD, and it was a 90bhp multijet so there, I wan't to take it for a run, but settled for a can of spray paint and a tin of touch up instead!! Oh, I also got a Fiat Chromey (I mean chroma) broshure, looks OK in top spec, the chroma, but pretty tatty in lower trims and they don't do the 170bhp 2.4 multijet diesel in manul :cry:
 
I believe there are plans to release the 4x4 multijet over here, or was I dreaming? It really is the most sensible option 4x4 & diesel just go together perfectly.
 
Last I heard, Fiat are still saying the business case doesn't stack-up on a RHD Panda 4x4. A multijet 4x4 will also solve one of the biggest problems with the 4x4; poor range. The 4x4 has a smaller tank than the 2wd (to allow for the rear transaxle) and with 40mpg being the sort of economy you would get, it's a dangerous person who tries to go more than 260 miles between fills of the 7 1/2 gallon tank...
