Panda Twinair - Are they fun to drive?

I currently have a Fiat Panda 1.2 with 60PS and it's great, but I'm looking for a newer car. Having read all your reviews on small city cars, I've found the Panda to be the best choice. The 1.2 engine in the new Panda isn't fun and I've been looking at the Panda Twinair as I only do short commutes with the odd longer journey.

Would you recommend the Twinair or avoid it altogether. If you would avoid it, what alternatives would you suggest?

The TwinAir is a lot more fun to drive than the 1.2 69PS. Uses about the same amount of fuel, but uses more fuel than the 1.2 if you thrash it.

What would you advise is the best small car to buy? Such as the Nissan Note/Micra, Peugeot 108, Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, or Vauxhall Corsa. The car would cover approx 6000 miles per year on short journeys.
