Vauxhall Viva: £129 per month

This personal lease deal on the Vauxhall Viva is like renting; there’s no option to own at the end of the three-year term. And it suits the stylish and well priced city car. All versions get electric mirrors and cruise control as standard, and while numb steering and a lacklustre engine make Skoda’s Citigo a better all-rounder, the Viva is a strong choice if you don’t drive much out of town.
