This is depressing. He says he does 12k but I'm sure he could have found something similar.
Assume 7ppm excess on a lease - thats £560 extra over the term
However, and A180d SE is the entry model - it's a £22k car. The A200d AMG Line is £25k - the premium and night another couple of grand (list price) so it's more than 20% more expensive.
He still got a horrible deal, but you cant compare to the base spec car.
Here's an equivalent car on a PCH
http://www.wellsonsvehiclesolutions...-hatchback-a200-amg-line-premium-5dr-58961165
Works out at 14k over 3 years plus the excess mileage. I dont think he'd have got that car any cheaper particularly by leasing, but it was still a poor choice!
It's the £2k worth of options which bump up that A200d AMG line car. Any deal where you are paying full RRP is bad though.
What I found interesting is, on the AMG line Night Package only adds Privacy Glass add costs £495 BUT the Privacy Glass equipment option is only £260 !!

so basically what every base spec merc/bmw/audi needs! special white paint included?
Oi I love privacy glass. Best option ever...
Privacy glass is actually really useful from a practical perspective - being able to leave stuff in the back without being visible to passers by is really nice. I suspect thats not why most buyers are selecting the AMG Night package though!

He's gone for black paint tooso basically what every base spec merc/bmw/audi needs! special white paint included?

I like it because from the inside looking out it looks like a really light tint (barely noticeable) where as with tints of similar darkness on the exterior, are much darker from inside the car.
If that makes sense.

This looks good. - lots of room, quality interior and enough performance (150bhp)
Audi 1.4TFSI Sport Avant
Spec includes xenon lights, sat nav, cruise, keyless go and rear parking sensors.

My Golf R is about the same, even factoring in servicing, tyres and insurance.

Not a great deal really.

That does look good, but I enjoy my 2.0TSI so a 1.4 would feel very slow. 5000 miles is also very little. I do almost that just going to work and back.
True but I'd need the bigger car. Personally, I'll probably just stick with buying used cars, even though it was a right stressful hassle last time as I just couldn't find what I wanted :/
It's the Esate version : 660 litre boot

Ah schweet!
Mines a 59 plate 2.0 TSI, so 200hp. The 1.4TSI are about 140 I think?

Just booked a test drive with Leicester Audi who apparently on the phone said they have the 1.4tfsi model to drive. Will be interesting to see how it drives. The 1.4tfsi is 150bhp and the 2.0tfsi is 190 iirc

I think it will feel noticeably slower compared to the full fat 2.0 TFSI.
The new 1.4 TFSI is probably great for a daily driver but lacking a bit of power IMO, especially in a bigger car.
