After having the golf for 2 weeks, I am now on the lookout for a new car, didn't like it at all. Parents think it's wiser for me to lease, so going to look at something on a 12 month contract.

I am not sure I understand why your parents think it is 'wise' to lease for 12 months? It almost certainly isn't - a 12 month lease (unless its a particularly good deal subsidised for a particular reason) is generally poor value as a car suffers its biggest amount of depreciation in year 1 and a lease is priced to take this into account!

Lease for 12 months? Having a laugh surely?

What Spec/Engine did you go for?

I've got the 2.0 TDI blue motion '12 plate - with all the trimmings (satnav/bluetooth/cruisecontrol/leather), can't really fault the car. Nothing 'amazing' about it, but the car's solid all round!

1.4 TSI, SE. And I meant to say a 24 month lease contract. It's actually more beneficially seeing as my first car racked up over £800 in MOT repairs in the first 5 months, so leasing total price of around £2500 over 2 years seems better and less hassle. Looking at a C1 anyway, 5 door, £90 a month, cheap run around.

Where can you lease a Golf TSI for £104/month?
