Fiat Panda 100HPPrice £10,400
Scrappage Price £8400
Fiat's sportiest Panda weighs in at £1600 under budget if Joe scraps his old Clio. The 100HP is nippy enough and certainly a bit different. The ride is bumpy, but the Panda is surprisingly affordable to insure.
Renault Twingo 1.6 Renaultsport 133, '09/09Price £9979
This frisky little terrier will get Joe to 62mph in 8.7 seconds and it's even more impressive through the corners. The cheap interior is a letdown, but Joe'll be having too much fun to pay it a lot of attention.
Mazda MX-5 1.8i, '06/56
Price £8600
This brilliant roadster won't be the cheapest to insure, but Joe could pick one up for around £1400 under budget. There are loads of examples to choose from and reliability should be excellent.
