Default Cheapest New car to buy or lease?

Anyone know of the cheapest new car to buy or lease over 2 or 3 years?
I am looking for very low finance or low cost lease with low deposit or start up costs?

I am looking for cheap, cheap, cheap!

If you want cheap, you can't get much cheaper or practical than what I'm running. A Citroen C3 1.4 HDi.

I bought mine 5 mths old with 5.5k miles for £7800. Its got Air-con, CD, etc etc, lots of room inside. I live in London, I do 13k miles a year, and it costs me £270pm all in. That's everything paid for, finance, insurance, fuel, servicing, tax.

To break it down for you:-

Finance - £133pm (£6700 borrowed over 60months)
Insurance - £45pm (32yr Male, 1 recent accident,2yrs No-claims , car parked on street in London)
Fuel - £70pm tops (50mpg in Central London, 60+mpg everywhere else)
Servicing - £15pm (£180 per year, 12.5k or one year service interval)
Tax - £7pm (£85 per year)

Including depreciation I've worked out the cost per mile at less than 27ppm. I can't think of anything cheaper to run, that I'd be comfortable in (6ft3in, 20+stone), and wasn't called Perodua.......

That is the exact car my uncle has, hes currently getting 67mpg and is doing 40k per year with no problems, Is the tax really £85 per year? I didn't know it went that low?

Looks like I am looking for a C3 then, My uncler recomended one (he said you can fit loads in it as well managed to get 3 full sheets of gyprok and a load of decking.

I am currently spending way to much on fuel!
