Motorists told: Do not buy cheapest car

Budgeting drivers have been told not to purchase the cheapest car available in Britain.

The Perodua Kelisa, while the cheapest model on the market, comes with an inferior warranty and is expected to depreciate quickly, Mike Rutherford wrote in the Daily Telegraph.

Mr Rutherford said that the Kelisa's price tag, which starts at £4,499, does not include the first registration fee or six months of road tax.

While it remains the cheapest deal even with these costs added, he also said it comes with a warranty of just two years or 24,000 miles and is predicted to depreciate in value by almost three quarters in three years.

Mr Rutherford pointed out that most new cars come with three years of cover and more expensive models such as the Fiat 500 1.1 or the Kia Picanto are set to depreciate more slowly.

The Kelisa was once named "unimaginative junk with no soul, no flair and no passion" by Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson.

Mr Clarkson also branded it the worst car in the world.
