There are a number of models currently on the market that retail for a bargain price, and come with the added bonus of a manufacturer's warranty.

The Dacia Sandero is UK's cheapest new car, despite recently bumping up its price by almost £1,000.

The simple Romanian build is practical, with five doors and plenty of boot and interior space.

But for the bargain price, you will have to sacrifice common luxuries like air conditioning or a radio.

Suzuki Celerio - from £7,999

For slightly more than the Sandero's higher range Ambiance version, motorists can get themselves a neat Suzuki city car.

And the Celerio comes with digital radio and electric front windows in even the most basic model.

Don't expect big things from its 1.0-litre engine though - it's very much suited to slower, busy streets around town than the open motorway.

Dacia Logan - from £8,495

 The Logan is the cheapest estate available

Dacia is renowned for its cheap models, and their estate is no different.

The Logan is also pretty basic when it comes to interior features, but it is by far the cheapest in its category.

Folding up the rear seat, the boot has a whopping 573-litre capacity, giving you plenty of room for luggage, pets or golf bags.

MG3 - from £8,700

The MG3 has a cool, sporty appearance, and is the perfect choice for an affordable first car.

But where you save on price, you'll lose out slightly on driving performance and feel, and you'll have to pay extra for things like remote central locking.

And while its 105bhp engine might seem like enough, the acceleration leaves a bit to desire.

Skoda Citigo - from £8,785

 The Citigo is the perfect town runabout

Skoda's Citigo certainly doesn't look like it should be on this list.

It's got reasonably good handling, and comes with a sporty body kit to make it feel like you're driving a more powerful car.

But it's another one that skimps on standard features, with its base three-door model missing air-conditioning and Bluetooth connectivity.

Hyundai i10 - from £8,911

 The i10 could be the pick of the bunch

Hyundai's small cars are among the best in the field, and experts claim the i10 is one of the top value choices for a compact motor.

Able to handle both long and short journeys, it drives far above its fighting weight.

And the base model comes with radio, electric windows and an unbeatable five-year warranty.
