Vauxhall Corsa: £189 per month

The Corsa is another of the UK’s most popular new cars, and with cheap running costs and a strong 1.0-litre turbo engine it’s easy to see why. Admittedly it isn’t as engaging as the Fiesta, but the Corsa must still have its plus points or else it wouldn’t have sold 352,899 units in the UK in 2016. Vauxhall offers flexible PCP deals so the numbers above can be tweaked to your liking, but be wary that their final total can be hugely undercut with a bit of haggling.
