Don't knock Fiat’s Panda Cross until you’ve tried it. This is one rough and tough little 4x4 that’s got character to spare. It doesn’t cost the earth to buy new, but our £7,500 budget is enough to bag a 2008 model, still under warranty and with only a handful of miles on the clock.

Family - Skoda Octavia
Skoda’s Octavia is a superb all-round family car
Convertible - Audi A4 Cabriolet
For the price of a budget new car, you can not only afford a premium-badged used executive model, but it can have a convertible roof, too!
Luxury - Jaguar XJ
You’ll find plenty of examples powered by the refined V8 petrol, but don’t discount the 3.0-litre V6
Supermini - Honda Jazz
A current shape 2008 Jazz will just about squeeze into our budget, but you’ll have a bigger pick of the equally clever first generation for the same money.
Supermini - Ford Fiesta
It’s been on sale for little over a year, and doesn’t have a particularly tempting new price list, but £7,500 will buy you an early model with less than 10,000 miles on the clock.
Roadster - Porsche Boxster
One of the few upsides to the economic downturn is that getting a Porsche on your drive has never been easier.
