This works out as £5102.14 so £500 cheaper if you don't mind larger deposit:

Decent deal, largely because Mk2 is around the corner. 0.06p per additional mile makes 12K mileage an extra £240 per annum.

The emissions thing doesnt apply of course, but beleagured VW dealers might be less than attentive to a warranty claim should one occurr (and VW has long since lost it's 'reliable' brand cachet to the Japanese)

Fair points with the brand snobery however the Yeti is one of the ugliest cars I have seen since the Fiat Multipla.

To avoid confusion, it's £0.06 per mile, not 0.06p and is plus VAT, so 7.2p per mile for consumers.

I lease this car, alot cheaper than this mind you, and it is fantastic. Very well specced, and the current MK2 has had a features upgrade, so you get the new Discover navigation headunit (which is amazing) and keyless entry/drive and cruise control... All as standard (originally around £1500 to add as extras). The 150 diesel will do you proud, the economy is great, even driving heavy footed it returns the worst figures of 45mpg, while conservative driving I'm achieving 63mpg. And as previously mentioned, the depreciation or 'scandal' emission test is not your problem because its a lease. Hot for me.

This is a decent deal and im very tempted as i need something more practical and fuel economic than my TTS. Im just unsure what these are like interior wise and if the boot is actually a decent size if anyone can feedback? Im looking to use it as a bit of a work horse. 5k for 2 years seems a decent deal to me.

My handbrake failed on many occasions- be careful.....

Looks like a good deal. I was looking around a lot when I ordered a Kuga a few months ago and the deals were generally £30 a month more back then.

Excuse my ignorance about car leasing deals but I assume you have to take out your own car insurance to cover the cars or is that included in monthly fee.

Hot

21 miles per day - so don't plan any long day trips at the weekend.

Dull, dull, invisible car, and you're paying a premium for the (undeserved) VW image (as was).

Go for it if it suits you but don't pretend it's anything special. As Newbold said, Yeti is a far better buy (but, of course, the ignorant and the vain can't live with their long outdated brand perception - so sad).

I avoided a Passat which had the Electronic Parking break - I've mild OCD and I would have ended up putting bricks behind the wheels every time I parked. Nothing like the ratchet sound of a well applied handbreak.

Fair points with the brand snobery however the Yeti is one of the ugliest cars I have seen since the Fiat Multipla.

Yeti only better with the 1.8TSI AWD

Facelift wasn't that bad...

I think you must be confusing it with that 'mini hearse' thing they make - can't remember the name.

Edit. Just remembered: Roomster. Looks like it was designed to take your pet to the pet cemetery! :confused:

Your OCD doesn't run to spelling then? :wink:

Spelling seems to be ok but on the third door handle on my car.:innocent:

A Roomster?

What?

PS break vs brake.

Thanks for clearing that up for me,Happy Christms and New Year.

Thanks for the info,Happy Xmas.

I got mine from nationalvehiclesolutions. But this was March 2015, but they constantly have deals on their website, which are always updated and negotiable (fees wise etc)

Extra info for you guys asking. The boot is a decent size, and can be extended by sliding the entire rear seat/bench forward if need be...which doesn't effect cabin space as its very roomy (head and leg wise) I'm 6'1" and a large lad, with bundles of room.

The parking brake issue is definitely isolated between the people on this discussion as I am a member on Tiguan and VW forums, and not one has experienced a failing E-Handbrake. It works like a gem, never fails to engage (auto or manual hold options).

The interior is nice, but has a ruggedness about it, and I have seen countless Tiguans in use as 'work horse' cars, from building sites to explorations and long trips.

People have mentioned the Yeti, again, another great car... Its just what you prefer... Both from VW factories... Tiguan has more class, but the Yeti is extremely durable and seen to be more for an 'active' owner.

Just leave it in gear as well, simples

easier said than done when living on a Welsh Mountain

Who cares when you have a full warranty and only have it for 24 months anyway? It's the leasing company/the next owners problem.

I am 2 years 6 months into having a Tiguan and cannot wait for the car to go (It is my wife's company car and we now have an Evoque on order to replace it). It has to be one of the worst cars I have ever had, the only thing that surpasses it for sheer horribleness is a Nissan Primera Diesel we were once unfortunate enough to have for two years. As others have said, the facelift does make it a reasonably good looking car, however, once you have said that, there really is little else to commend it. Worst of all is the handling, reminiscent of my childhood 'space hopper', followed closely by the unrefined and lack luster diesel engine, sloppy gear box and uncomfortable seating position. Small details are also intently irritating, including the necessity to have the door mirrors dip on reverse, OR, de-mist, they can't be set to do both. I could go on but I really think there are better cars available at the price of this 'deal' I certainly would not be tempted even if the price was £99 a month!

Yes, really. Using a generic website, like honest john, rather than actually interacting with the community and owners of said vehicles is pointless. If you did that all the time you'd end up never owning anything, from cars to electric whisks.

Well I have had a BMW X1 as a loan car a couple of times when my X5 has been in for service and the the handling on the X1 is in a completely different league (as is the engine, the driving position and the quality). Don't get me wrong, I am an admirer of some Volkswagen Group products, I have had a number of TTs in my time, but the Tiguan is far from a great car. By the way I can confirm we have had issues with our Electronic Hand Brake - the car was in the dealership last week for this!

Think ive been out off. Might wait and see how the new one fairs or look at the bigger toureg.

You will care when you need to waste time with the lease firm to get it repaired...

Erm, no. The only generic in this thread is a Tiguan: A very plain, box-standard car.

Both pretty bad to be fair.

Great cars and good value, looking at swapping my 320d for an Octavia at the moment as was so impressed with a friends.

And the hype around the BMW badge isn't matched by the reality? Most BMWs are OK (a few are awful) but Skoda has much higher customer satisfaction.

I'm looking to change cars soon and trying to decide between used (1-3 years old), lease or new on finance.

When you quote figures from depreciation calculators, are these based on list price or typical actual figures paid for new cars on finance? There seem to be lots of incentives to get PCP and other finance plans, so if the £8,815 depreciation quoted in the OP of this thread is based on list price, and a dealer were to offer a £3000 contribution to a PCP deposit, then the lease ends up costing about the same as the depreciation.

Maybe I'm missing something - I'm new to this.

I have a 320d and it's fantastic (especially on longer trips), but is it fantastic by double the monthly price of a new Skoda??? Just completing on my first house and I will now be able to walk into work so I have other priorities hence the change.

I think whoever wants to consider a Tiguan as their next car should go and try one. Basing your purchase on this thread and people who are comparing what they think they know over what is actually fact is silly. Just putting this out there, the Tiguan is the best selling compact SUV in Europe, which speaks volumes. Go to a dealership and test drive one. Guarantee you'll be pleased.

Oh, and I had a BMW 320d as my last car, an E90 model, and it was fantastic. Unbelievably good. But, family needs and all that.

very tempted to get on the bandwagon here, especially with the low price on the additional MPG. Should I be getting things like gap insurance?

I love my Tiguan, perfect family car for my needs at present, great on fuel, and I have enjoyed every time I have sat behind the wheel of my Tiguan.

If I was to go back to a saloon car, for abit more of a sportier appeal (and the wife got her own car for family journeys) then the 320d BMW is definitely on my list. Fantastic power for a 2.0 diesel, and a lovely drive. Although optional extras aren't cheap.

Thanks, just ordering the tiguan - working out at over the term as 7392.85 but I upped the milage to 15k PA and added service and maintenance...

Thanks! I was going to opt for the 8000 miles and pay the 7.2p but if you do that and add servicing they told me I might only get the services up to 16000 miles... not sure if that is true.... but I wanted tyres and servicing covered so I only have to worry about the insurance....

I'm pretty much guaranteed to do over 30k miles in the 2 years. More likely 40k but at an overall cost of £308 per month all in other than insurance it's allot cheaper than my 318d...

Gap insurance purchased too.

Should take delivery after xmas.

Thanks for posting.

Got one of these for the wife in March two year deal and cannot wait to give it back, she will not drive it at all due to handbrake, auto lights, auto wipers, turning off at lights etc.

I did not like it either to begin with but now getting used to it.

Make no mistake its a very fast car will do 140 easy at 3500 revs.

Its good for making you walk as the wife makes me park it miles away from any other car to stop any damage.

Took gap insurance as well.

Not a comfy car as I always get a sore butt quickly, turning circle very poor.

Will need tyres before handing it back and a service which will be expensive, any damage will need sorted as well.

Anyone still waiting for their Tiguan to arrive? Mine won't turn up until the 2nd week of March....
