The Swansway Motor Group, a family-owned dealership based in Cheshire, shared with Sun Motors three reasonably affordable motors that are perfect for budget-concious drivers who want value “without compromising quality”.
That includes a 2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4i ecoFLEX that’s Limited Edition, described as a “compact and fuel-efficient” hatchback that’s perfect for city driving.
Powered by a 1.4-litre petrol engine, this Corsa combines practicality with style.
For penny-pinchers, it’s incredibly economical to drive and delivers a fuel economy of 54.3 MPG.
Drivers can also choose a VW Polo 1.2 TSI that blends efficiency with plenty of in-car tech.
Like the Corsa, the Polo is remarkably economical by running at 60.1 MPG – making it perfect for long commutes or city driving.
Inside, it comes with a 6.5-inch colour touchscreen as well as Bluetooth audio and phone connectivity, and DAB radio.
Then there’s a tasty BMW 1 Series M Sport, featuring a 2.0-litre motor and just 51,943 miles on the clock.
The 2014 BMW is listed as “perfect for those looking for a premium driving experience at an affordable price”, while offering dynamic styling – largely enhanced by 18-inch M Star Spoke alloy wheels and a sleek black exterior.
The 1 Series has been available since 2004 and is officially known as a range of ‘subcompact executive cars’ available as hatchbacks, coupes and convertibles.
This comes as another beloved hatchback that was a favourite among petrolheads in the 1980s is just months away from a return as a small EV to rival the Fiat 500.
Elsewhere, VW have unveiled a special edition hot hatchback that’s inspired by a legendary model from the 1990s.
