I'm struggling to think of any others. The Pandas are great if you can find one!

Not super small, but maybe a Mk2 or mk3 golf syncro? or the more off-road kind of cars like the vitara, feroza etc.

The automatic bit is going to make things difficult. "Off the top of my head" the Daihatsu Terios, Suzuki Jimny, Vitara, Grand Vitara, Rav 4 and Freelander are the common ones available.
Terios, then Jimny, auto's get my vote.

Why does it have to be 4x4? If its small and light with decent ground clearance putting knobbly tyres on will give most things pretty good off road abilities.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

The Justy is a good call. My dad has has his 1988 model from new and whilst there's a little rust here and there, it's never, ever gone wrong. Ever.

Good call! I guess there are quite a few Japanese Kei-cars in fully tricked out mode(4wd, turbo and automatic). Or....  not old or cheap, though |

I had an auto jimny a while back. Fantastic little jeep, amazing in the snow, and went offroad a goodun! All it had was a set of mud terrain tyres and it never lost out to any of my mates 4x4's.
Only time it ever let me down was when I smashed the transfer box mount on a tree stump, don't think I can blame the car for that though!

Its for a little old lady who lives in quite a remote area! My mum had an auto Mk1 Terios and loved it (*). This is a woman who's previous car was a Range Rover classic The Terios had 1.3 litre engine and permanent 4wd. She likes taller cars because she has fake knees and the Terios is fairly easy to get in and out of for less agile folks because of the height. I drove though some bad snow a couple of years ago and on M&S tyres and it was great fun - absolutely nothing fazed it. (*) In fact she liked it so much she swapped it for a brand new Terios Mk2. |

Think the Justy will fit the bill like a few including yourself have mentioned
cheap - Subaru reliability
body work does suffer mind
My old dears daily for ten years or so
brilliant little motors
find one with decent panels
cant really go wrong

If you can find one a Subaru Vivio would do (they are often auto) as would any of the AWD Daihatsu Cuore/Mira varients.
