You really need mud and snow tyres as well. The biggest problem with those is rust. They rot for fun. If you have a Panda you have a welder. The two go hand in hand. Also, the 999cc FIRE engine is puny. If you do get stuck it doesn't have the balls to pull you out of trouble. A solid Panda 4x4 is hard to find now for less than £1000.

A more modern small Suzuki would be much more reliable, less prone to rot and easier to source parts for.

Do you know anything about those sexy looking new Pandas by any chance?
