2019 (19) PEUGEOT 108 1.0 Allure Euro 6 5dr

• Location: Motor Match Stockport
• Price: £7,640 with 20,324 miles

With a slightly more boxy design, this little PEUGEOT fits right into a city environment. A one litre engine provides 71bhp and 57.3mpg, which is perfect for the hustle and bustle, but also offers an eco-friendly drive for those who are more environmentally-conscious.

This car comes with PEUGEOT's Open and Go system, which is a keyless entry system that allows you to lock, unlock and start your car without having to use a physical key.

Chequered seats give this car a cosy feel, meaning you'll never feel too far from home. USB sockets and a touch screen display keep you connected so you can play your favourite music whilst simultaneously using your navigation. A rear reversing camera allows you to parallel park and manoeuvre through the busy streets, whilst features such as hill assist mean you won't risk rolling back if you are stopped on a hill.

2018 (68) FIAT 500 1.2 S Euro 6 (s/s) 3dr

• Location: Motor Match Stockport
• Price: £7,540 with 37,381 miles

Although the FIAT 500 is known for its quirky colours, the dark grey of this 1.2 litre, 2018 model offers a sleek, smart aesthetic, whilst the red-accent alloys complete the design with a sporty touch.

Also featured on this car are rear reversing sensors, cruise control and a speed limiter, which give you full control of your driving experience, offering a safe and convenient journey.

Replete with a leather steering wheel, blue highlights along the seats and doors, and a touch screen display in the centre of the dashboard, you have everything you need for a comfortable and stylish journey.

Privacy glass and LED daytime running lights offer a sense of luxuriousness and a remote locking feature means you can literally walk away from your car and rest assured that it will lock without you needing to find your keys.
