Agree, the new website is awful!

I concur. Sadly, before the change it was my favourite one to check due to ease of use.

Yeah, the new Gateway website is not good at all, which is a great shame. My current lease is with them and they are a great company to deal with.

They also use the phrase "Contact Hire" all over the site, which is just sloppy.

If you think G2L's new site is crap you should try Nationwide's. It's so slow it's unusable now; will really damage their business.

• Show a wider range of prices… eg: http://www.stablevehiclecontracts.co.uk/volkswagen... only shows 6+x deals, and only up to 8k miles? where are the 3+ and 9+ prices? I dont want to have to ask for a quote just because your website is empty!
• Add an option to flip between Inc\Ex VAT. Less useless info on the screen that way.
• Keep prices up to date! Lost track of the number of times ive asked for a quote and its different to what's shown on the website...usually more, which puts the idea in your mind that the website is just there to farm info and get you on the companies "books" to spam you with "offers".
• Add an advanced search with A LOT more options. Eg, deposit amount (3/6/9), maintenance yes/no, mileage, body style, engine size, fuel type, drivetrain etc.
If I want to find a 4wd estate with a 3.0 diesel engine, on a 3 month deposit, 10k miles, it would be nice to be able to see all those across brands in a list rather than search through each models page.

While websites are the topic, it would be good to get some feedback on our site http://www.stablevehiclecontracts.co.uk/

We're always trying to improve it for the customer's benefit.

Not really your website, but when I receive your emails, the bottom deals are in black text on black background!

Just bagged a tiguan special for the family run around, 3+23 £200pm inc (metallic was £20 extra, all they had left) vat 2.0 TDi BlueMotion Tech Match Edition 150 5dr 2WD with Metallic. £5,200 over 2 years.... comes with sat nav, 18" wheels, DAB radio etc etc seemed like a steal to me!

Good deal! Where from?
I presume that's for just 5000 miles a year?

The best I can find for the 10k miles I'd need is from www.selectcontracts.co.uk ...
Non-metallic Urano grey paint, £1,598.29 down + 23x £177.59 + Admin fee £? = £5,682.86 total or £236.79 a month real cost (Inc deposit but plus Admin fee if there is one)

Yours was 5k miles/year but with metallic paint, right?

So, I'm interested to know where you got your deal?

It was blue chilli, but I managed to get one direct from VW this morning, both were 8k miles, VW one is £4,800 for 2 years, last one though according to the dealer....

have to say that the 335D M Sport GT at £275 all in is appealing. Just have to get over those GT looks

Agreed, should the petrol appeal the 335i looks to be the same price.

This is definitely a car better suited to diesel.

Unless you live in Saudi.

For 8k miles per year I'd just get the silky smooth petrol 6 pot personally.

Ha - I drive a E92 325i petrol, so I fully understand the appeal - it's about my 5th BMW straight 6 petrol car! But I'd still order a GT as a diesel.

Hi Greg - cracking deal - I can only find it at £210 inc VAT and metallic + £360 fee on a 23+3 / 10K miles PA, which works out at £5,820. Can you tell me where you found your deal please ?

Business deals only though by the look of it.

[Accelebrate]

Is the 335d GT deal still business users only? I can't spot the link in this thread.
