1. Fiat Panda 100hp

Year: 2007/07

Price: £6,495 (Independent dealer)

In terms of smiles per mile, the Panda 100hp could be compared to the Classic Mini. For better performance I'd recommend that you turn the Sport button on and leave it on. It replaces the regular Panda's City button and sharpens up the steering and throttle responses. Without, the 100hp's steering, can feel over-light and imprecise.

The Panda 100hp handles well, there's some body roll but the balance is excellent. The 1.4 engine is very tractable, but it does its best work at higher revs, meaning you'll be working the excellent six-speed manual gearbox more to get the best out of Fiat's sporty baby.
