If you want a basic, budget-friendly car, the Perodua Kelisa could be just what you're after. Designed to get you from A to B without fuss or frills, it became one of the cheapest new cars of its era. Sold in the UK from 2002 to 2008, it's light to drive, with a tight turning circle and exceptional fuel economy – perfect if most of your miles are in town. It won’t match rivals like the Daewoo Matiz or Suzuki Alto for interior polish, but the Perodua Kelisa earns points for being easy to park, inexpensive to buy and cheap to run. Its small size and straightforward mechanics mean there’s little to go wrong, which is why it’s often chosen as a first car or dependable urban runabout.
