....buy, maintain, use as a daily driver and thoroughly enjoy the experience.

I like my cars small and quick so my choice is the FIAT Panda 100HP.

Got the idea raking through the classifieds and seeing this.

Not only is it the standard PH answer but genuinely a mk1 mx5 could be the answer to this one.

~100hp and ~1000kg anything less could get a bit tedious. Something like a Saxo VTR or MX-5

Surely depends on what you do on a daily basis, sometimes our C1 is enough.

Anyone been to France and seen the boy racers there graduate from their beloved scooters to modified Citroen C1s And Peugeot 107s sitting lowered onto wide chunky little alloys and the 3 cylinder engine sounding almost BMW 6 cylinderesque through a raspy twin sports exhaust and think Peugeot/Citroen missed a trick not providing a tuned AXgt, Saxo VTR, 106 Rallye replacement with a C1 GT/107 Rallye.

J4CKO has a point say that the C1 is close to fitting the bill but with an extra 20 BHP, a sports suspension, chunky alloys, a subtle body kit and a sporty interior it would have been a damn site closer still.

Surely the answer has to be a Suzuki Ignis?

If only there were a thread...

EK9 Civic Type R (One parks near the in-laws, looks very small by today's standards)
S1 106 Rallye,
MR2 mk3, or
one of those starlet GT things, they look quite fun but most seem battered or chaved up.

I think I could probably live with a Honda Beat without too many issues.

not sure how that panda justifies £3.5k at 8 years old, but i can't seem to find any for less than £3k
but hatches, every teen wants one, despite being in your teens is probably the only time you'll regularly fill 4-5 seat before parenthood

Current car is Porsche 924 2.0N/A. Really could not deal with anything slower - it's already too slow.
