Depending on requirement and budget why not another MX5. Could get a late Mk2.5 for or even a Mk3 for reasonable money these days.

There are stacks of them on the market and they are well made (very well made IMO) and drive neatly.
It'll have plenty of room and they feel very safe.

They've gleaned a 5* rating from Jeremy Clarkson, and he's not an easy chap to please. Buy one second-hand, the older ones were only £6k new, the second hand ones will probably be about 3p and in good condition, as they're owned by little old ladies who need a car to pop to the shops in to buy some cat litter, so there'll be about 10 miles maximum on any Panda
No, but, seriously, here's a decent looking one.
A wheel-spinning, tarmac stripping 60 hp can be gleaned from the motor, and Jeremy does say that he finds it a hoot to drive because of the skinny tyres and marvellous steering. You can have as much fun in an Panda at 30 mph as you can have in a Lamborghini at 100 mph
Now enough about it, I recommend you have a look at the Panda.

Dave and Eileen, don't succumb to too much sensible.

But I know Jeremy also said the car was excellent in the snow, because it had such skinny tyres and it was exceedingly light, it would chug around in the snowy bits that massive SUVs couldn't get to due to their oversized tyres
