Not to mention the engine is a lot more powerful in the 245, looks like 45BHP and over 30% extra torkz compared to the best Mk2 vRS so not really a fair comparison unless I've missed something?
Good lease deals on less than great cars

Depends on the manufacturer and car. MB are usually around 6ppm, VW 4ppm. High mileage is normally a killer on lease deals, as the leasing company want to make their money selling the car on when you hand it back, so the less miles it has the better for them.
Was referring in particular to the vRS deals being discussed
9.6ppm I read somewhere

Really? Since when?
September some time I think, I managed to change mine in August for the cheaper rate, but lots of people on PH have been saying they've not been getting the cheaper rate now.
Just got quoted this. The excess mileage charge seems really high!!

It is high but then its a 3 year contract and the annual mileage is 15k. Probably has a big effect on the car's value at the end if the mileage is going to be 45k+.
Even then its only about £150 excess mileage cost for every 1k miles you go over. Doesn't seem that terrible?
Obviously 5-6p would be better...

Good point
Wouldn't it make more sense to take a 2 year deal at £120pm with 10k miles and pay the excess mileage?
Hmmmm I guess it might - haven’t worked it out to be honest
Generally 3 year leases offer better value for money. At the very least the initial payment covers an extra year use.

Don't forget to factor in additional servicing costs for 3yr lease vs 2yr.
My gti on a 2 year/10k pa will only need one service during the lease
A 3 year lease would need 2 services and an MOT, possibly set of tyres too.

Why would it need 2 services? Servicing isn't annual.

I personally have not found that. Annualised costs typically have been the same or very close to the same when I have looked.
Most are now variable and with VAG you can specify fixed or variable with the selling dealer.
An initial payment every 3 years is cheaper than paying it every 2 years
