The two mk1 Pandas I had were 2WD. But, despite that, they both acquitted themselves very well at the ski resorts. Skinny tyres, low power, light weight and a bit of extra ground clearance added up to vehicles that were pretty competent even in deep snow.
Very fond memories of our "adventures" in them. In the way of many small Italian cars, you tended to just drive them flat out all the time, and they seemed to relish that.
That "hammock" back seat you mentioned BT was easy to remove, and frankly most of the time, it was out of the car. The space created was like a small van. Skis or mountain bikes on the top, depending on the time of year, or activity chosen. Luggage, a tent in summer and other ancillary kit in the back, and the world was your lobster.
I think it's a lot of why we like the Renegade so much, it's like a modern take on the same sort of nonsense really.
