Best new cars for £5 a day plus deposit
Motoring Research has assembled a list of new cars that are available for a maximum of £150 a month, with deposits as little as £800.
Vauxhall Corsa SRi: £149 a month
Though it plays second fiddle to the Ford Fiesta in the sales chart, the current Vauxhall Corsa is a fine supermini. The Corsa SRi 1.4-litre is available for £149 a month over 35 months, with an advance rental of £2,086.
Ford Fiesta Zetec: £159 a month
Opt for the Ford Fiesta Studio and you could drive away for less than £150 a month, but we’d recommend upgrading to the popular Zetec 1.0-litre EcoBoost model. It’s available for £159 a month on Ford’s Personal Lease programme, with mileage capped at 9,000 per annum.
Skoda Fabia 1.0 SE: £129 a month
Think of the Skoda Fabia as a better value version of the Volkswagen Polo and you won’t be too far wide of the mark. To get the £129 a month figure you’ll need a hefty £2,438.09 deposit, but Skoda will contribute £1,500. The term of the agreement is 42 months.
Renault Twingo Play SCe 70: £149 a month
Renault’s finance offer on the Twingo is perfect if you don’t fancy splashing out on a large deposit. For £149 down, you can drive away in a Twingo Play SCe 70 for £149 a month over 49 months. The Renault dealer will even add an extra £523 to the deposit.

Suzuki Swift 4×4 SZ3: £149 a month
You can get your hands on the excellent Suzuki Swift for just £99 a month, but we’d recommend spending an extra £50 a month on the Swift 4×4 SZ3. If your daily commute includes a few green lanes and tracks, it’s the perfect supermini.

MG 3Form: £159 a month
Sitting just above our £150 budget is the MG3 3Form at £159 a month. For us, the deposit of £1,167.58 makes this a better prospect than the £99 a month 3Time, which requires a deposit of £2,110.78.
