Lotus Elise Sport

£439 per month with a £4,433 deposit (7.9 per cent APR)

Best car deals under £500 per month

Inevitably the Elise’s impracticalities make it unsuitable for commuting, and the 7.9 per cent APR interest rate is a tad steep, but as a vehicle for pleasure there are few better options on the market right now.
