I had a Panda 4x4 when I was 17. Cheap insurance was the best reason I can think of. Suprisingly for a 1 litre car of 1987 it had 5 gears, and the interior was quite bare apart from a big plastic drives dash. The seats were very uncomfy after about 30 hard driving and the handling very sloppy although the steering was light and so the back came round many times. Very unreliable it needed choke to start every time and if it was foggy I'd have to remember to put newspaper in the engine bay or else I wasnt going anywhere. I seem to remember a very heavy bonnet lid which came down on my head many a-time. I remeber this because it was open every day with me trying to work out the problem. The one time I used the 4x4 mode was when it had snowed and as usual I had spun off the road and was stuck in deep snow. Luckily just this once she didnt let me down and I was back on the road again. Expensive for parts aswell, full exhaust cost me £150.

Advantages: Pennies to run, safe, excellent handling, cool image and a fantastic car! Disadvantages: Finding a decent one that isn't riddled with rust.
