Car hand over booked for 4th April. It's come round so quickly, probably due to having a baby.

I've only put 2700 miles on the Passat, due to working form home a ton. I have enjoyed it, and my wife really likes it for carting baby stuff about. It's comfortable on my commute when I do travel and has enough poke to not be miserable at overtakes. I don't like the interior, especially the centre console the silver makes no sense and looks rubbish.

At some point the bumper has picked up a little scrape which I'm hoping will polish out before handover or at least be absorbed by the free repair.

I should be getting the new list 1st April and pray this time I can get something I ask for. Brother tells me that because of the new A4 they are pushing a lot of those through so that may be an option. I'm really keen to try the new Superb too.
 
OK so now the fun part, the new list is in for the car I'll be picking up in October. I've decided to up my budget bit this time round to drive something nicer. The good news is, the list looks strong and allocations are high for the models I've selected. So for my first choice I have short listed these:

New A4 Saloon 2.0 TFSI quattro S line 252 7-speed S tronic £189/month

Q3 2.0TFSI quattro S line plus 180 S tronic £175/month

A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro Black Edition PLUS 190 S tronic £197/month

I'm leaning towards the new A4 saloon, the engine is much better than the other options and the newest. The A5 sport back also looks very nice especially in black edition plus trim, shame there aren't any nicer engines to pick from.

OK sold on the 2016 A4, the interior is impressive.

:D

It will certainly be the best car on the scheme to date. The allocation is very high so likely hood of getting one is good. Guess they want to generate some used car stock of a new model. Can't complain at £189/month!

So here's what I've sent over.

1st Choice - New A4 Saloon 2.0 TFSI quattro S line 252 7-speed S tronic
Colour 1 - Tango red, metallic
Colour 2 - Scuba blue, metallic

2nd Choice - A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI quattro Black Edition PLUS 190 S tronic
Colour 1 - Misano red, pearl effect
Colour 2 - Sepang blue, pearl effect

Some of the other cars on the list for those interested.

A6 allroad 3.0 TDI quattro 272 7 sp S troni £259/month
BEETLE COUPE SPORT 2.0 TSI 220 PS 6 speed Manual £123/month
TOUAREG R LINE 3.0 TDI V6 262PS BMT SCR £247/month

Hey Mike! This is me splashing out :p I usually hover around the £140/month mark.
 
If it makes you feel any better, the list of stuff my brother gets access to is sickening.

S6 Avant 4.0 TFSI quattro 7 sp S troni £310....
RS6 Avant Performance 4.0 TFSI quattro 605PS 8 sp tiptronic £431!

Well.. when he is old enough to be upgraded to that kind of horsepower allowance.

Yea that's what I figured. The allocation of the A4 is healthy so I'm hopeful I will get one.
 
For £200 a month what kind of down payment is that and mileage? Lease prices are hugely dependant on those factors.
 
Yes 252ps. It will the 2016 model on a 66 plate.

Pick up the Golf on Monday. Just need to endure it for 6 months.

It depends on the next and the next car.. I assume as the scheme goes on depreciation and OP still has the say to which car they get each time.

Only issue I can see is that it's a company car and mr tax man would see that as such. Even if you paid towards it.

It's not a company car. It's a scheme that VAG employees get access to, for them and up to 2 additional family members. It's used to generate used car stock, so the monthly cost is nominal.

OK so changed my 2nd option. I'm still banking on getting the A4.

1st Choice - New A4 Saloon 2.0 TFSI quattro S line 252 7-speed S tronic £189/month
Colour 1 - Tango red, metallic
Colour 2 - Scuba blue, metallic

2nd Choice -A3 Sportback 1.8TFSI quattro S line Nav 180 S tronic £155/month
Colour 1 - Monsoon grey, metallic
Colour 2 - Floret silver, metallic
 
The sportback is quite practical, I wouldn't opt for a smaller version for sure.
 
The Q3 may be a good option. I've had 2 Leons already which are basically A3s.
