I think Paul owes this thread some commission

He is welcome to the money he earned off me - great service from him

Im in too. Dog knob red manual hatch, no options. Update next week.

I swore we wouldn't be a 2 Skoda family, but I couldn't resist. I'm too old to give a st what other people think.

Dog knob red

And so the colour is named.

I'd like to take credit, but I stole it from the Golf R lease thread from 3 years ago when I ordered one of those(!)

What are the no cost colours in these cars?

I'm thinking of a basic, no extras, manual hatch to replace my current VRS estate. I've fallen out with DSG.

[MadaCup]

Red, Red or you can choose Red. Everything else is £380 or roughly an extra £16 per month.

..poverty red it is then. I've had two in Meteor so time for a change!

I would have picked meteor grey if it had been a free option too. I'm struggling to justify £16 extra per month for the grey.

My mrs said she didn't want it in red but has come around to the idea. It looks pretty good with the black trim as well.

I stumped up the £20pm for the metallic on the last Golf R. After the 2 years with it I swore I wouldn't pay for a colour on such a short lease again.

Besides, I'm trying to do my bit to bring colour back to the driveways on my little street of 6 houses - just grey, navy and black at the moment.

I would not have gone for red normally but I went to see one and it looked really good , as you say the black trim and wheels set it off. For once my first choice colour is a free colour :-)

I have ordered a red estate with DCC and Canton sound with 12kpa 3+36 for £303 per month. Arbury fleet for a change.

Sunroof would be nice, but couldn't justify £30 per month for it.

I test drove a 230 on 19s without the the DCC, and was supprised how good the damping was, not much bumpier than my current x-trail!

Also been dealing with Paul after the recommendations on here, but really helpful and quick too, so likely to go with him for a VRS 245 DSG estate. I also need to keep onto my current lease until May '18 so Paul has said he can work with me on this so I can get the new one around then. Great service so far and a good price (£1800 deposit, £207.00 p/m on 10k miles - no options / red / estate / DSG).

Tourerman,

Is that a 3 year term and does it include servicing and tyres?

Cheers

Very excited, pick up my new company car tomorrow morning - corrida red vRS 245 manual estate. Standard spec ( no options), but it seems pretty well specced as it is!

Great stuff, enjoy! (I've got 3 months to wait!)

Sorry no, 24 months and no servicing pack or tyres - just the car pretty much! During 2 years, I will probably avoid a service.

Ordered a 245 today, it's the hatchback with DSG in the standard red colour with no options and a mileage allowance of 10k pa

£1800 initial rental and £190 per month with no admin fee.

I asked for delivery in April and they are happy to put the order through for March and hold the car until I'm ready to collect.

Pretty happy with that!

Nice one, what's the mileage allowance on that?

Sorry I knew I missed something, I have edited the post. It's 10k per annum

MadaCup - who's that deal with please? I've not signed on the line with my deal yet, and yours is obviously cheaper and the same spec / order requirements etc.
