I currently have an Abarth 595 on a PCP, that has equity, and runs out in September this year. Its the 3rd one I have had and I love it, I would get another one but my mum struggles to get in and out, so I feel its time to get something a little bigger.
The Merc in my profile is no longer mine (hardly ever drove it and was not that keen on it.)

My plan was to get rid of both and combine into a Maserati Levante but when push comes to shove I don't want to spend £70+K on a car. Even leasing they are £1k PCM.

Do I lease? There seems to be some amazing deals out there, thinking an E Pace for £300PCM, +£2kish seems sensible. I could PCP it but the cost is significantly higher, +50% on each figure, so I cant see what point there is of going down that route?

The Seat Cupra R on the best leasing thread seems like great value, but it seems a little bland, looks wise. The CTR is to OTT.

Most of my driving is commuting stop start through town then on the M3/M27 at about 3 mph. I have always had quick cars, can I live with 9.4 0-60? Will i miss begin able to nip into gaps?

Oh I am not overly keen on German cars, so would prefer no Audis or Vw's might consider an MB or BMW, but would have to be stunning value.

So what should i be looking for? Ideally £300ish PCM

There are some amazing deals on the Audi S8 at the moment, yes they a bit more than your £300 but they're almost half the price the Maserati you get all the space you're looking for & you get RS6 performance to boot.

Audi S8 (this has the same engine as the RS6) 6x23 with 8k miles per annum at £479 plus vat. For 13k miles per annum it rose to £511 plus vat. Not bad for an £83k car as that's around £15k over 2yrs.
