THE GROWING POPULARITY of Personal Contract Purchase, or PCP, has made buying a new car more appealing – and, in some cases, more affordable.
Here, we present our pick of five new cars that can be yours for less than €250 per month.
As always with PCP, do make sure that you read all the fine print before committing to any deal. You can read our explainer on how typical PCP deals work here.
1. Audi A1 – €209 per month (link)
Looking for something a little more upmarket but still small enough to nip around town? The Audi A1 comes in both three- and five-door models and despite its smaller size still carries the same high quality finish inside that you would expect from the brand with the four rings. New, more fuel-efficient engines add to this small car’s appeal.
2. Fiat 500X – €228 per month (link)
Influenced by the cute Fiat city car, the Fiat 500X is a crossover that has real mass appeal. Its wide stance and roomy interior combined with strong exterior styling options make this one of the more interesting crossovers on the market today.
3. Peugeot 2008 – €191 per month (link)
The Peugeot 2008 is one of the best small SUVs on the market today and can be packed with technology and features – including Peugeot’s clever front-wheel drive system that can provide similar mud and snow grip levels to more expensive all-wheel drive systems. There are a number of different trim levels to choose from, and on the road it drives particularly well with its new petrol engines.
4. Skoda Fabia – €149 per month (link)
Small on the outside but big on the inside, the Skoda Fabia is a highly practical hatchback (or estate if you wish) that comes wrapped in a modern look. Bright colours and bigger wheels make it really stand out while the petrol engines would be our pick to drive.
5. Volkswagen Golf Highline – €249 per month (link)
Very much a household name, the Volkswagen Golf has been with us for more than forty years. The latest seventh generation remains a hugely impressive car and one of the very best in the segment. You can choose from three or five-door models, or an estate, and the Golf comes with a variety of different engines to choose from – even an electric version.

Hell on earth.
Heaven, if you’re an 18 year old young lad though.
We shouldn’t be glorifying drinking culture. Over 50,000 people in Ireland die each year from alcohol related illnesses. It’s a serious public health issue.
You’ve used that line way too often in your various guises Mr Fantastic, it no longer has the shock factor it once had
You may no longer be shocked but then again maybe I’m just the kind of sap who gets worried over 50,000 deaths?
i was in magaluf this summer, it definitely has a worse reputation than it deserves, I heard before going over that you would get a baitin off the english for being irish and there was just people having sex on the streets but that wasnt the case, saw 0 fights or any of that carry on, youd actually see more fights on your typical saturday night in limerick but everyone was just there to have a good time really, it is a mad place to be fair but not as bad as one would think
was just thinking the same thing , every name on that troll account has used that line .
Will , by any chance where you in bed by 7 every night ?
Mr Fantastic has more accounts than Seanie Fitzpatrick.
and nearly as many as you lou
7 am? yes that is correct
will , the question I asked was by 7 evey night , but that’s ok .
hmm bit worrying that you have nothing better to be doing than trying to burn a 17 year old on the journal.ie, even more worrying that it was a complete fail aswell haha, sit down woman :)
will , not at all , I’d never try to burn a 17 year old . I’d be arrested if I did that!
You just got owned Suzie
nah not really , Lou
I see the red thumbs are working for you again Mr F
the average death rate here is roughly 6.5 per 1000. with a pop of roughly 4.5 million this gives a figure of roughly 30,000 deaths per annum. this is the total figure so alcohol deaths will be a smaller number. don’t get me wrong. we have a problem with alcohol but your figures are inaccurate
my comment is a reply to Mr fantastic
It’s OK, there’s two English Bobbies over there now to keep an eye on this…
Nope they were only in magaluf for the week before heading to ibiza for the next week. Can’t wait to see some gardai in their summer uniform on Santa ponca beach, should provide for some fun and interesting stories!
Like taking sweets from a baby, unfortunately
It’s candy Stephen, not sweets. Don’t be put off using the correct idiom because of the anti-American mob on here.
I know I wanted to say candy but it just sounds ridiculous when you’re not American
Fair chance it was in a ‘gentlemans’ establishment – probably appeared on the cc bill as ‘food’
Having to Ban Balconing to show it’s not a good idea haha
Great way to keep the tourists comming back again.
I’m sure many of them woke up… possibly in their own vomit, next to a women 20 years older and resembling the side of a bus and were completely unable to recall if they in fact maxed out their €600 limit student credit card themselves or it was taken fraudulently…
They sent 2 coppers over from England last week sur and now this!!!
have your say
