👉 Conclusion

VW Up!

The VW Up! isn’t being made anymore because of money issues, but this shouldn’t stop you from getting your hands on a great used model. Being an option for drivers for the last 10 years, the Up! stopped production in 2023 to focus on electric vehicles (EVs). With the model leaving our shelves in 2023, there are still newer options out there for people looking for cheap automatic cars. Used prices can change, but for a good quality model you could be looking at around £6,000, a good price for a great city car. A solid but not amazing inside can be upgraded with different packages, with good room in the back for passengers. The Up! is a fairly solid car, although it only scores three out of five in the Euro NCAP safety ratings. If you are looking for something cheap and solid for city driving, the VW Up! could be the choice for you. Looking for a Volkswagen Up for sale? Our marketplace has over 150 Volkswagen Ups for sale. With prices ranging from £150 per month to £450, we’re sure to have an option that fits your budget.

Audi A3

The Audi A3 is one of the best hatchbacks out there. For many years, it has been the choice of drivers all over the world due to its performance, slick looks, and Audi-branded tech and interior feel. Although a new A3 could cost up to £25,000, there are plenty of great used Audi A3 options out there. With the car being so popular, it is no surprise that used Audi A3s are seemingly everywhere and with this, there’s a chance at a great deal. Rated five out of five by Autotrader for the new model, it’s clear that A3 is here to stay. If you are looking for cheap automatic cars for sale, the A3 could be the choice for you. A used Audi A3 could cost anywhere from £6,000 to £9,000, a jump on the price of a VW Up!, but a difference in quality that justifies the price gap. If that cash price looks a little high, you can finance an A3. This can be a great way to spread your costs into monthly payments whilst still enjoying your car. If this is something you’re interested in, our Audi A3 finance page is here to help you get your hands on an Audi A3 at a price that suits you. Find your dream Audi A3 for sale.

Toyota Aygo

The Toyota Aygo is another on our list of cars that have unfortunately been pulled from production. However, a used Toyota Aygo has more than enough to satisfy your automatic needs. Seen as a city car, the Aygo isn’t as big as others on the list, but it’s cheap to run and reliable. With a stylish cross design on the front bumper, the Aygo is a stylish option. Where it falls down compared the A3 especially is in its interior and boot space. If you’re looking for a cheap ride that is reliable and fairly standard, the Aygo could be a good pick. Used Aygo prices start from £5,000 and can reach £17,000 depending on the spec and quality of the car. Take a look at used Toyota Aygo prices on our car marketplace and find finance solutions for your new wheels.

Ford Focus

A large hatchback that’s been on our roads for years, the Focus has always stayed up to date with the latest looks and performance. A new Ford Focus can come in different options:

· Ford Focus Titanium

· Ford Focus Titanium X

· Ford Focus Active X

· Ford Focus ST-Line X

· Ford Focus ST

· Ford Focus ST-Line

· Ford Focus ST Edition

A car that has never pushed the boundaries but has always provided everything day-to-day drivers could need, the Focus has been and will always be a great option for those wanting a cheap and reliable hatchback. Used Focus’ can range from £5,000 to £27,000 depending on the model you choose, which allows you to find a car that suits your budget.

Toyota Yaris

The Toyota Yaris is a surprisingly quick option on this list, going from 0-62mph in 5.5 seconds. The Toyota Yaris Cross is one of the most popular models in the range, but this isn’t the only option available. A very ordinary drive, the Yaris is perfect for city driving and anyone looking for their first set of wheels. A used Toyota Yaris can cost anywhere from £6,000 to £33,000 (if you’re looking for the Toyota Yaris Cross). We have over 2,000 Toyota Yaris options currently available via our car marketplace, where you can apply for finance with no impact on your credit score.

Peugeot 208

The Peugeot 208 was first launched in 2012 as a hatchback and has stayed true to its roots ever since. The latest 208 was the facelifted 2023 model, with plenty of options going back over the years. A new 208 would see you have the option of electric wheels, with older options powered by more traditional fuel types. A low-emission car that has decent room and a comfortable drive, the 208 is a great car to drive with ease without hurting the environment too much. Of course, newer models are more environmentally friendly, but the older 208s are by no means inefficient. One thing to remember though is that the 208 has had many recalls in its time, so it is best to do your research before purchasing a Peugeot 208. An old Peugeot 208 can start from £4,000, with more modern models reaching £27,000. Find a Peugeot 208 on our marketplace and get finance on your next car.

Skoda Fabia

Last on our list is the Skoda Fabia, a reliable car that is great value for money. A good-sized inside and solid drive have been in the Fabia range for years. Plenty of trims are available, with clean interiors and good tech, even in older models. A Skoda Fabia ranges in price, with older models costing £6,000 and newer models reaching up to £24,000. This makes the Fabia a well-priced model in our list and one that you can definitely rely on. We have over 500 Skoda Fabias ready for finance via our car marketplace, with finance available on all our vehicles.
