That quarry was a minimal mountain pass wheeling in Colorado - they do those with Subarus and AWD out here. I don't think you would really need 4-wheel drive for most of it...and it really could have been done with 2-wheel drive if you were careful. Not sure how you would get that little thing over any rocks/rock field larger than about 6" in diameter.

I'm sure it would be better that 2WD with crummy road conditions (which is really what is designed for) but to compare it with anything with real 4WD in a real 4WD situation would be silly. My Wifes Honda CRV has the same type of "4WD" - so do a lot of vehicles -.

Put that Fiat in sand dunes with that Range Rover and it would be up to its belly pan in seconds with those skinny, smooth tires. Put it on a level 3 trail out here and it would not be able to get over the obstacles due to ground clearance issues.

highly doubt that thing can do 1/2 of what a Range Rover can do...I have owned 4 Land Rovers (well, family) I my self had a 98' Range Rover 4.6 HSE and that was the best off road vehicles we had, besides out 1996 Disco
