Audi A4 lease deals thread
Discussion
Thread for discussion of the recent bonkers lease deals on Audi A4s.
My deal via Affinity leasing is:
Metallic white A4 Avant Black Edition S Tronic 35 TFSI
Initial: £1,234
Monthly: £205
Admin: £216
5k miles PA
Looking forward to leasing this family boat, despite the fact it'll be 100bhp down on the current Octavia vRS. There was nothing around that took my fancy recently and lease prices seem to have risen so much that I was delighted that this came along.
My only reservation is the lack of grunt, but I didn't see the value in going for the 40 TFSI for an extra £40 per month.
I've previously run a pre-facelift 1.4 TFSI saloon A4 (manual) so I'm interested to see what the new 2 litre engine feels like in comparison and if the auto gearbox will improve on the experience as the manual has laughable turbo lag and was geared to the moon.

What's the leadtime on these? I need to replace my VRS in June
Well mine arrives later this month but I'll take delivery in December. I believe they did have factory order options for spring / summer next year too though but at a slightly higher price, based on a post on the best lease deals thread that I read.Peperami said:
I’m about to FTK on one of these.
Quoted 245 on the 35, and 278 on the 40 at 10k on a 6+.
Test drove both (albeit 19 plate models, similar engines without the mild hybrid tech) and the extra grunt of the 190 seemed worth it for me. The 2.0 150 engine was very smooth though, and fine for a daily.
Just trying to choose between Daytona and Mythos black! Thoughts... ?
Nice. The other car I was offered was Daytona and a 40 TFSI too - would've chosen that if the numbers stacked up for me but I'm moving house so went for the cheaper option instead. Quoted 245 on the 35, and 278 on the 40 at 10k on a 6+.

Having said that, I would take the Daytona grey over black paint as I think it sits really smartly with the black trim whereas it'd just be a bit too batmobile for me going with the black paint.

Also, does anyone have any pictures of the black edition yet?
There don’t seem to be many out there at all.
A few pics here (but the deal is woeful!)There don’t seem to be many out there at all.

the 35 engine is quite gutless, and needs to be worked hard.
I've been in quicker 1.4 engines.
Interesting. I ran the previous manual B9 A4 with a 1.4 150bhp unit and the new '35' 2 litre appears to have a little more torque (199lb ft vs. 184lb ft).I've been in quicker 1.4 engines.
Plus I'm hoping the 7 speed auto in my incoming Avant might help the experience vs. the ludicrous turbo lag that the manual had.
I know it's going to be no rocket ship, but will be fine for a family wagon doing local journeys and the odd holiday trip in the UK.
(looks wistfully at old photos of his M135i pre-kids).

Does look very nice in white starting to regret the Daytona grey after seeing those 
te but thought I'd share anyway seeing as there appear to be so few pictures of 'real' cars around

As soon as it’s here I’ll get some pics uploaded proving it’s light and not pudding it down. Waiting on the call to let me know when to expect the car hate sitting around waiting
Good man! I'm excited for you myself. Nothing quite like the anticipation for a new car arriving! 
Looks very smart. Looking forward to mine arriving now!
Re. wing mirrors, check if you’re using the same key as settings will be linked to that. Check car settings then in car to find if ‘fold mirrors when locked’ option is ticked. At least that’s all based on my Skoda vRS but similar VAG setup I’d imagine.

Yep the Avant would prove useful but the Octavia hatchback's boot is actually bigger which is quite amazing really.
I didn't have any info given to me about how it was being delivered. I live quite close to London (within the M25) so I'm not sure if that'll make a difference one way or the other. A trailer delivery would be pretty cool though. When my M135i arrived back in 2014 on a trailer is was nice seeing it alongside another one and being reversed off the truck with only about 10 miles on the clock.

Any one know if you can switch off keyless entry on the car? I've seen some info that suggests you can and option under settings > central locking > convenience key but not sure if enabled on UK car? Also anyone know what steering lock will fit I was looking at Stoplock Pro? I'm a bit worried as a number of keyless entry thefts in my area last few months neighbour across road had his car nicked few months back off the drive, they seem to be targeting new cars rather than fast stuff.
Cheers
Did you option keyless entry specifically? I don't believe it's standard - I've only seen 'keyless go' on the spec sheet when searching online which just means you have a start/stop button in the car but you'll still need to use the fob to unlock it.Cheers

Just popping back here to see if there are any new pics.
Mine comes tomorrow hopefully in morning as I've got the day off so will take a few pics and post then.Just arranged insurance for the new car arriving next week. What a palaver.
Tried the usual comparison sites, prices came back pretty high - higher than a couple of weeks ago at least. Over £500 per year for me and wife as named driver, homeowners with two kids, living in southern England aged 40 no convictions or points, over 10 years no claims etc.
So then tried the big guys that are not on those sites like Aviva, Direct Line, Admiral. Their quotes were eye watering i.e. about £250 higher than the comparison site quotes.
Ended up going with the comparison site option but paying the same as my current Octavia vRS245 DSG. Presumably despite the small engine in comparison (i.e. 100bhp less than the Skoda) the car itself is more valuable in terms of RRP.
