Bit annoyed.

Was all due to get the Ioniq Mid March...
Got an E-mail today saying they have none (even though they apparently checked end of last week that they had stock) and I'd be looking at April/May !!!

I found a car at a dealership in the spec I want though. But it's £249 a month and £249 down instead of £229. Meh.

I am half tempted to go tomorrow or scrap the whole idea and get a Fiesta ST-Line 140 Nav. Just want it sorted before the bloody tax changes.

Hybrid or elec ? we ordered a factory build Ionic early feb for delivery mid March no drama from Holdcroft.

The below deal works out £500 cheaper. Would be so tempted if I hadn't just signed on the dotted line

Nice!

I posted some similar deals floating around last year but IIRC, those deals back then required a bigger deposit.

Be interested to hear if anyone "pulls the trigger" on such a deal. If I didn't already have a car on order I'd be very tempted!

Hi guys Im really interested in the Ioniq, had a sit in one and thought it was pretty good spec was nice. Anyway Im waiting for a test drive but what sort of deals are you getting. Having looked no one can touch ALM Garages on leasing but in email conversations im not 100% convinced by them.

I was very close to ordering one last year, then I came over all sensible and bought a 996 instead

Had this email from Genus leasing(?) for a cancelled order with immediate delivery. Doesn't seem bad for 10,000 miles, but it's a 3 year lease?

Audi A3 1.6TDI Sport Saloon Manual

Specification includes;
Florett Silver, Parking system rear, Folding Door Mirrors, Heated front seats, Flat bottom steering wheel, Rain and light sensors and much more.

£255.00 inc vat per mth
Initial Rental £765.00 inc vat
36 month contract
10,000 miles per annum

You can get an Octavia vRS TDi DSG for less than that. Far more car and kit for the money.

Also Hub have no fees and have vehicles in stock.

Not massively less, and a 1.6 TDi will be anything but quick, but if you prefer the Audi, the Skoda isn't in a completely different league. If I wanted an A3 then the 1.4 Sport saloon at £10 less per month from Lease Comparison would be worth a look - more performance, more zest, and remarkable economy for a petrol engine (I've driven both in the Octavia).

[Beefmeister]

Agree it's all down to personal taste. But I think you'd have to be wrong in the head to choose a 116hp poorly specced A3 over a 184bhp vRS!

But...but...the badge!

Argh this is tempting! Is the Alfa 4C any good in terms of handling, reliability etc? Deal seems too good, and as my Golf R is going back on Monday (i may start crying...) it might fill a void...

Although this Aston offer is tempting too!

Who cares, just look at it!

Admittedly I've never driven a vRS, but an A3 is a zesty thing with a really good driving position and sharper handling than an Octavia. It's also a bit smaller and easier to park and generally feels much more compact - it reminds me of a Peugeot 306 I had a decade ago. (And the Sport isn't that bad though I would like parking sensors). Not just a badge thing at all, even though I really rate the Octavia at what it does.

I can see why it's a cancelled order now ha ha, I would prefer the Octavia myself, but I'm not in the market for anything to be honest.

evo magazine pretty much slated the 4C driving experience... lol

Before I start trawling and losing my mind at out of date/fictional deals does anyone know of any very good deals on big estates? Superb/Passat/Mondeo upwards. Diesel, auto. Not too fussed on a premium brand but needs to be a good car with at a decent price with sensible additional mileage charges as my travel varies widely.

The Passat at CUVL is currently quite good: https://www.centralukvehicleleasing.co.uk/vehicle/...

actually, mileage throws it out...

Really? A car in the class below is smaller?

Audi's with their low spec irk me. They're nice inside, granted, but the low spec just doesn't sit well with me. I have driven a boggo spec A3 and the pre-facelift VRS, and whilst the VRS feels like a barge, the handling and roll was surprisingly on point. That being said, some people aren't interested in parking sensors etc and just want a car to go from A to B and like audi, so who am I to say otherwise. It's all relative eh.

So did Top Gear Magazine, but got 4.5 stars overall in Autocar. Very varying outcomes!

This is why I really really need to stop reading this thread..... Had I not signed up for the Scirocco, I would have been all over that! Damnit!
