I can almost guess the answer already but I quite like them for some reason!

I'm looking for something cheap, simple and hopefully reasonably entertaining as a second car to save having to use my Land Cruiser for everyday local running around. It also needs to be suitable for teaching my girlfriend to drive.

The budget is really at little as possible, ideally cheap enough that I can leave it parked and generally abuse it without having to worry.

There's a ready supply of Panda's from about £1k up but is there a better choice that I've overlooked?

Not keen on finance but £36 a month? How is that even possible?!

I'm assuming that the majority of the finance payable was the deposit?

I maybe overstated the "fun" element a bit! By entertaining I just meant in crappy small car style that encourages being driven to the rev limiter everywhere without really breaking any speed limits!

In other words - does a 1.2 Panda handle well enough and rev cleanly enough to at least make it vaguely entertaining?
