Leasing can be an affordable, practical route into having your own private car, but it’s not always easy to tell the good deals from the duds.  The experts at our sister magazine What Car? work hard to find you the best pay-monthly schemes, taking into account mileage allowance, montly outlay, contract length and initial deposit. We’ll be bringing you the best deals they find from a different segment each week. This week, it’s economical petrols:  1. Suzuki Celerio 1.0 SZ2  £929 deposit, £155 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year ​ The featherweight Celerio has real-world economy of around 57mpg. It’s also good to drive, with a surprising turn of speed when the road opens up, although it’s more at home in town. 2. Volkswagen Up 1.0 Move Up £878 deposit, £146 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year​ The Up can wring more than 53 miles from a gallon of the hard stuff. That’s a real-world figure, too. Granted, the Celerio betters it by a remarkable 4mpg but the Up looks and feels classier and its image is stronger. 3. Suzuki Baleno 1.0 Boosterjet SZ-T  £1317 deposit, £220 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year  Suzuki does it again, this time with the larger, Fiesta-sized Baleno, which can do up to 55mpg. It’s an unsung hero you overlook at your cost since there’s more kit here and a bigger boot than most rivals offer. 4. Seat Ibiza 1.0 SE Technology  £884 deposit, £147 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year  Seat’s sharp-looking supermini ekes 54 miles out of a gallon of unleaded. Impressive stuff, but this car also knows how to play, thanks to a responsive engine that pulls impressively from low revs and an unruffled ride. 5. Kia Picanto 1.0 1 5DR  £700 deposit, £117 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year  Not the all-rounder that the Ibiza can claim to be but still a well-packaged city runabout and, with 53mpg on the cards, frugal with it. It’s a keeper, too, with a seven-year warranty that rivals can only dream about. For more great personal business lease deals visit What Car?
