I meant the new ones really. They do a 4WD one don't they? The 2WD's are quite highly regarded at least, brilliant at their job!
And what I've seen of the 4WD one, they're actually pretty fun off road due to the short wheelbase and the proximity of the wheels to the front/back of the car. Although ground clearance isn't really relevant to snow driving I guess.

The idiot in that video got the 4x4 system wrong. No Panda has ever used expanding fluid and a clutch, which would be a stupid way to do it.
The New Panda 4x4 (tested in the video) uses a Ferguson fluid coupling on the prop shaft.
The Newer Panda Cross uses regular diffs and a throttle and breaks traction control system.

Creative FX did it for him, same place that did Button's.
