I lease a 1 series through work, its the efficienct dynamics version, 1.5 diesal very economical, but also has a lot of poke. Got bluetooth telephone and satnav. Big enough to take a family of 4 on holiday for the week. I love it.

What sort of money stupot

Mines a salary sacrifice, but I pay £350 before tax, its about £280 after tax and that includes insurance, breakdown, servicing, tyres, and I didn't have to have a deposit. Not sure how much it would be direct, but its worth a look at.

My lad works for a large, well known leasing company and he is finding that many people are moving away from the usual BMW, Merc, Audi market and going more for things like Hyundai, Mazda etc... as they get far more car for the money and have less issues with them. My sister has just leased top of the range Hyundai i30 diesel (similar size to a 1 series) and it has everything on it (and i mean everything) and it's a fantastic car and was well under her budget.

I swear by Skoda Octavia's. Plenty of room and really cheap to run (regularly average 70mpg on a run). Free tax. Plenty of extras on mine. Whats not to like.

And they are 90% VW Passat, except the Passat would do 200mpg with zero carbon footprint, according to VW's test results :wideyed:

I drive a 1.6 mk6 blue motion golf. Really like it but can change in a few months time but don't really know a lot about cars either. Anybody suggest anything similar that might be worth checking out?

All the taxis down here are Octavia's so I guess they're pretty reliable and cheap to run.

Thats why I first got one. Forgot to mention the 20K mile servicing too.

my son has an Insignia hatchback , and gets over 60mpg regularly. No idea what the lease costs would be, but it's a big car, with a big boot, and has all the bells and whistles. He does 35 to 40K miles per year, and it's been solid as a rock for him.
This looks like a decent deal -

I've just picked up my new Skoda Yeti Outdoor. It's brilliant! Got rid of the piece of shit Ford Focus at last! God, I HATED that car!
