Best lease car deals available?

[TedMaul]

Anyone have a view as to when/if they will start discounting the current Disco? Noticed there is an XXV Special Edition released.

I know the current model will look very dated the moment the new one comes out, but as a do it all car (space, 4wd, refinement) i'm struggling to find anything better. Would prefer the HSE spec and really like the panoramic roof but suspect latter bumps the price up unreasonably. Need the tow pack too for bike rack

I've got that Yeti deal coming in a few weeks. They're all pre ordered, basic spec so no options available. White, red or blue, all flat, all have Annapurna alloys too.

I've been tempted by lease deals now for the last couple of months after a friend from work got a Golf R for £300 p/m - £2000 down payment (24month).

I feel held back driving my a3 1.9 tdi in case something costly goes pop, so I end up driving like a good chap. Anyone else like this? Should I just ignore what "could" happen and enjoy giving it the odd belting now and again?

Years of running £1k cars (often with a high bork factor) has taught me to just drive them how you feel, enjoy them. Unless a cars about to die, theres no harm in taking it up to the redline and giving it hell frequently (once warmed up)

but diesels tend to have much higher repair costs. injectors/turbos etc. don't think I've ever went past 3k rpm on it since owning it. Is that a bad thing to admit to?

Its not only a bad thing to admit to, but also driving a diesel that gently is bad for it!

Its especially important to drive a diesel hard on a regular basis if you're concerned about reliability.

Injectors and/or the turbo isn't particularly likely to fail just because you're using high revs. The turbo's already at maximum boost way below 3,000 rpm, so you're not pushing it much harder by exceeding this.

The 1.9 tdi is pretty bombproof anyway, 300,000 miles is not uncommon on these engines. Just keep it services and the cam belt changed regularly.

To be honest with nearly all 4 pot smaller engined diesels the power band is such that it's pointless going much past 3k RPM anyway.

I take it you've not driven a modern one? That's largely nonsense nowadays. Mine pulls hard (in relative terms) to the redline with little tail off in power. My wife's old Polo 1.6 tdi had a broad spread of power, admittedly not much, throughout the full rev range too, it was progressive like a petrol, although over geared for its' power.

C63's in stock. This is a business lease but they have personal too. Worth a look.
