Hyundai i20 1.2 Classic

Sometimes a deal can look too good to be true – but that’s not the case with the Hyundai i20. Visit one of the Korean firm’s showrooms, and you can drive away in an entry-level 1.2 Classic having put down a deposit of only £150.

You’ll then pay the same amount every month for three years, before deciding whether to keep the car with a final lump sum outlay of £3,474, or simply hand it back to the dealer. The only financial pain is the APR of 5.9 per cent, but the excellent five-year warranty should take the sting out of this, particularly if you decide to hang on to your Hyundai at the end of the contract.
