Just changed employers, to conform with company car rules need something less than 6 years old and fewer than 120k on the clock.

Don't want to replace family 53-plate 3 series touring so intending to swap out wife's (much loved) Lupo.

She's currently on mat leave so don't want to commit to massive outlay at the moment, hence lease idea. What's the cheapest way into a new car at the moment? I've been looking at Citroen C1 deals, what's cheapest and any other thoughts/suggestions? Never leased a car before, anything I've not considered?

- Will only drive 5k miles p.a.
- Safe to transport wife and child (though guessing all modern cars are nowadays)
- Can't be significantly bigger than the Lupo
- Will need to pass the wife test, so nothing too 'ugly', however that's measured!
- Under £100 lease a month but the lower the better

Thanks!

The VW UP was available on a business lease for c£100 +VAT a month (3+35) and IIRC was £79 a month from VW dealers with a deposit.

Just seen that from my local Citroen dealer, definitely be worth a look. Unsure whether to lease or buy second hand using interest-free credit card. Really don't want to touch savings at the moment!
