If you’re looking for an affordable small car that drives well, then the Kia Rio won’t disappoint. It’s smart styling, spacious interior and high-quality finish make it worth every penny. This practical and compact hatchback is relatively cheap to run and delivers decent fuel economy too. The 1.1 litre turbodiesel engine comes with stop-start technology and returns an impressive 85.6mpg – with CO2 emissions of 86g/km making it exempt from road tax. With prices starting from £10,145,the Kia Rio is the perfect ride for those with bad credit car finance.
Nissan Note

Retailing from £9,995, the stylish Nissan Note is affordable even if you have a negative credit score. Providing practicality as well as coming with low running costs, the cost-effective Note rivals the likes of the VW Polo. There’s bags of space indoors for passengers and luggage and this Nissan is great for city driving. Even the 1.2 litre turbocharged petrol engine delivers decent fuel economy of 65.7mpg and low CO2 emissions of 99g/km make it exempt from road tax – but if you’re in the market for more mileage, the 1.5 litre returns 78.5mpg
Citroen Cactus

If you want an eye-catching and unique SUV that delivers on performance but doesn’t come with a hefty price tag, then the Citroen Cactus is up for the job. The 110 PureTech engine has a 0-62mph time of 9.8 seconds and thanks to low CO2 emissions, it’s just £20 a year for road tax. There’s plenty of kit available across the trim levels and with a price tag of just £12,990, there’s not much about this SUV that doesn’t impress.
Skoda Rapid

Skoda have a reputation for quality cars that are both cheap to buy and run. With the Rapid, you’ll get all the quality of a VW design and technology for a fraction of the cost. This roomy and comfortable ride starts from £14,400 and comes with a choice of petrol or diesel engines – with impressively low running costs. The most economical in the lineup is the 1.6 TSI diesel – perfect for long distance driving.
Dacia Logan MCV

For an affordable saloon with plenty to offer, check out the Dacia Logan MCV. It might be considered a ‘no frills’ saloon but it’s great to drive and, if you don’t mind splashing out on kit, there are plenty of add-ons to choose from. For a cheap, spacious and practical family saloon, you’ll be hard pushed to find a car to rival this £6,995 Dacia.
