Well the Evoque arrived and the lease company and the supplying dealer said no experience day as it’s a lease, nice surprise when we had an experience day fall through the letterbox today.

I would rather them just drop it at my house without the fuss.
Had an ‘experience day, once and couldn’t wait to get away. Very cringy.

I've done two with Land Rover and found them to be actually really enjoyable with no hard-sell involved whatsoever. The first was for the launch of the Evoque and they give me the keys and told me to come back later in the day. The second at Peckforton castle (in the snow too) and got a good go in the full fat RR over a pretty rough trail.

I did one with the FIL when he bought a RR Sport, it was good, we both enjoyed it.

Audi have lent me a 4.0tdi A5 Sportback while our A6 is with them. The A5 is without doubt the worst car I've ever driven. Save yourself the phone call. Explains why they are/were cheap to lease.

I had an S5 lease, loved it. My Leon Cupra went in for warranty work they gave me an A5 S line diesel and I didn't like it at all to drive. I couldn't believe it was so similar in appearance to my S5.

just out of interest how do you find the cupra coming from the S5? I've sent back the 2018 S4 and b been contemplating a Cupra, how much did you get it for?

I went from a 2016 cupra BE for £131 a month to a 2018 s4 for £280 a month, the cupra is probably abit more fun for a thrash around but in every other way the s4 is better

Wow great deals, those were the days. I’ve currently got the Cupra 290 and have to say I find that more fun to drive than the m135i.

Signed up for a deal about 4 weeks ago. Went on today just to have a look and see if the prices have changed and it's up about £160 per month.
Do the lease company need to honour my deal or can they change the price? Car due in September

Or Vauxhall Grandland X? £175 for 24 months, only marginally more than £168 for 4 years

the Grandland X looks like a great deal I will try and go for that.

If by "signed up for a deal" you mean you signed a contract at a specific price then yes that will be honoured. Prices change all the time as there are normally only x many cars available at a particular price or offer.

Am i missing something here or is this coming out at circa £218 a month, 24 months for 8000 miles?

I get the same figure too on the simpsons deal.

Pulman seem to have it slightly cheaper here also

Interesting. I had a Cupra 300 on lease and currently driving an old saab diesel as a runaround. Maybe its worth just getting another Cupra for 2 years and avoid the diesel. I lived mine.

Had an S4, now an A35. S4 went in for some work and they too gave me a Diesel A5. It was horrible (in the nicest way possible) compared to the S4. Would not get a standard A4 or 5 whilst I can still manage to pay the premium. Solid cars no doubt, nice to look at, but the way it drove compared was hugely different and like you say - surprisingly so.

Looks a superb deal ... pardon the skoda pun.

I had an S4 went back early June, it went into Audi a few times and the various loaners they gave me were all terrible in comparison, I agree it surprised me, those S cars are something else, my mate had an S5 sportback and at the time I had an e92 m3 and it blew my mind how good the S5 was so I sold the m3 and got on the lease path with the S4, funds are tighter now so had to go with a diesel coupe with a good deal thanks to this forum, but still very grateful to be getting a nice looking car, will put up with the performance somehow

Why is there so much surprise that a s4 or s5 is better to drive than a diesel equivalent.

That's a really good question, not sure why, one of the loaners was a 2.0 petrol

well the S4 is a diesel now so...

to be honest, the difference between the normal versions and the S is smaller than the difference between the S and the RS, typically

My V90CC deal is up mid Feb 2021. When should I start looking for/ordering a replacement?

Mine is up Sept 2020.

Nothing comes remotely close to this offer, only option is to extend for 3 months and hope the lease gods turn up.

Ours is up in September too and as you say, it was a bit of a super deal so hard to replicate.

We'll make do with our other lease (Alfa Giulia Veloce) for now, as neither are getting any miles on them in this lockdown anyway.
