• I sort of want a little car for getting around on the small dirt roads. The outback is good but is the family car and big. I thought about a Suzuki Samuri, but is there a small car that would work, rally style? Lada was an option too. Dreaming a little and looking left field as cars expensive here. I think 4x4 is mandatory, though a raise fwd with all terrains might work. Panda 4x4 are silly money.

  • Panda 4x4 was the classic option but no idea how many are still around. Didn't realise they'd become so desirable.

    Jimny?

  • Toyota RAV4 or it's less glamorous cousin the Daihatsu Terios? Suzuki Jimny? An old Freelander is always an option if you hate yourself.

  • Not sure where you are but maybe a little Suzuki Ingnis 4grip or a Daihatsu Sirion/Boon (aka Toyota Passo, Perodua Myvi, Subaru Justy) if you can find a 4x4 model? (Unlikely if uk)

    None will win any style competitions, but genuinely good cars that are unlikely to have been abused!

  • How are the roads? Dacia Dusters are pretty cheap with better clearance, Suzuki Swifts are AWD but low clearance. Some Skodas are 4x4 as well - estates so may fall outside of the cheap category. The first gen Samurais had a reputation as easy to flip - Not sure how the newer ones fare.

  • Panda 4x4 are silly money.

    The new ones? I thought they were pretty cheap.

    Other than nostalgia, idk why you'd want an OG one in reality.

    I remember some French dude lifting a 5 door 205 diesel and driving all over Corsica so I'd be tempted to do something like that. Cheap old diesel hatch, offrode tyres and a DIY lift. Or try and get a susuki jimny.

    Edit here it is
