Six new cars for under £6000 - Fiat Panda 1.2 Dynamic 5dr

Fiat price: £7455
Best broker price: £5666 (www.drivethedeal.com)

The Panda comes with five doors and space for four. It looks funky and is easy to drive, too.

The 1.1 Active is even cheaper at £5353 (also at www.drivethedeal.com), but we'd go for the better-equipped 1.2 Dynamic - it's probably the most competent all-round car here.
