    Default Small cars with 4WD

    I'm day-dreaming about the kind of car I will get when I pass my driving test... I know I want a small car, and am leaning towards a Toyota Vitz/ Yaris. Does anyone know if there are any other models of small cars like the Vitz that have 4WD?

    Cheers

    Subaru Imprezas are fairly small (they do a hatchback) and are 4wd. Not as small as a Yaris/Vitz though.

    Cheers - I'll add those to my list of models to look up. (I say list - it now has 2 models on it!)

    Not sure if they carry the Suzuki Vitara or Jimny there but check it out. A 4WD cutie for sure!

    I think that Subaru made a really small car with 4x4 called the Justy. No idea if it is available in NZ though!

    I have a Pajero IO which is brilliant. I love sitting higher up and having 4WD, it's really small and great for parking and reversing

    My friend (Kate the one who needed the nana nap!) has just bought a Honda 4x4, which is a small station wagon size, rather than a big SUV type. Bigger than a Honda Jazz/ Toyota Vitz etc, but it's 4x4 and quite nippy for its size.

    Well, since you'll submit that list to your hubby anyway when he goes out to buy you a car, why not add some more for good measure?

    My husband thinks anything smaller than a Landcruiser counts as a small car.

    Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

    How about a 2-door RAV 4, although I have to admit I don't know for certain if it has 4WD.
