\"Affordable<\/a><\/p>\n

The class of genuinely affordable cars is shrinking more quickly than ever \u2013 we decide which is the best bargain<\/p>\n

\n

How much does a new car cost nowadays? Any car will do: transport, freedom, four wheels, an engine and some seats. After the couple of years we\u2019ve just had, I wouldn\u2019t blame anyone who needed to look it up.<\/p>\n

At the end of 2019, the answer was less than \u00a38000. There was a Vauxhall Corsa<\/a> on the price list for less than \u00a312,000, a Ford Focus<\/a> for less than \u00a320,000 and a BMW 3 Series<\/a> for little more than \u00a330,000. Now look at us. In another four years, who knows what a value supermini<\/a> might cost \u2013 or if you will still be able to buy one at all.<\/p>\n

If you like cheap, simple, versatile and efficient motoring, then, now is time to secure some. And if you are wondering what\u2019s within reach \u2013 assuming that you want to spend around \u00a315,000 in cash or \u00a3200 per month on a typical personal finance scheme (10% down, a three-year term and a conspicuously high interest rate: you know the drill) \u2013 you might be surprised how few the options already are.<\/p>\n

There are only eight cars left on the UK market at that price or under it \u2013 and we\u2019ve got five of them right here.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Fiat<\/a>\u2019s UK distributor doesn\u2019t have any Panda<\/a> demonstrators right now, Volkswagen<\/a>\u2019s doesn\u2019t keep any Ups<\/a> and we didn\u2019t think it worth including two slightly different Dacias<\/a> in the same test just for the sake of completeness.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s the Citro\u00ebn C3<\/a>, Dacia Sandero<\/a>, Hyundai i10<\/a>, Kia Picanto<\/a> and MG 3<\/a> we have here to settle the question of who makes the best cheap car on sale today.<\/p>\n
