My Dad had a Subaru Justy. Not bad cars at all. In fact that's exactly what they are - cheap run arounds!. AWD is handy and don't think it ever had any mechanical issues.
Not great performance from a 1.3 hauling all that 4WD stuff around, but it's not thirsty either.

hate to say it, but pug 106s are going cheaper than ever, as are ford ka's.
you can always pick up a cheap-ass ford escort 1.3 (N reg ish) for peanuts. I got one for £230 before Xmas for my sister from a local second hand dealer. Still working.
