Advice on leasing a 695 Abarth

[JimmyJam]

I haven't leased before and am thinking about business leasing a 695. Anywhere good to look, anything I need to be careful of etc?
Cheers

I'm not sure there are 'Golf R' deals available on a 595/695, certainly not that I've seen.

Where in the country are you? Happy to pass on the details of the salesman who has worked very hard to get me a good deal if you want.

I'm assuming my choice will be limited because its a lease and low volume car so I'm open minded at this point.

I’d suggest you have a look at the Abarth model range to know what you want.

The Biposto has only 2 seats, no radio, no air con. This is considered the model to have by enthusiasts, however it is on the older body shape.

The 695 XSR Yamaha is considered a parts bin special and is lower performance than a 595 Competizione.

695 rivale is basically a fancy Competizione and can be speced with the LSD however you don’t get the sabelt seats.

And then you have the more common 595 range.

I'd go for a 595 competizone rather than a 695.

The 695 Biposto is an awesome machine, especially with the dog ring gearbox! But it's very pricey and a bit hardcore for everyday use IMHO.

The Yamaha or the Rivale don't really appeal to me.

I've never leased or PCP'd a car so I can't really advise on that.

The thought of driving a dog box on the road would make me run to the hills...

The dog box is a very expensive optional extra. A standard 695 Biposto has a normal gearbox.
