Volkswagen Golf: £165 per month

£165 per month with a £5,110 deposit (6.2 per cent APR)

Volkswagen Golf - front

That generous deposit contribution confirms that the current VW Golf is soon to be replaced. A facelifted version is coming, but this existing Mk7 model has the same core virtues – a smooth ride, great build quality, generous equipment and a wide choice of efficient engines. The 1.4 petrol featured here is the best all-rounder, while mid-range Match trim brings plenty of safety kit, including adaptive cruise control and parking sensors all round.
