What do you guys think of this deal? And how is the company any experiences with them?
(I'm considering getting this as my first lease car)
8k mileage is more than enough for me
Also what is this thing about Audi being front wheel drive? Is it really a bad thing?
First deal too, if I've made any mistakes I'm sorry.
If anyone has any other automatic car deals for the "more premium" cars please share! Thanks

Shem is not right. When you launch a car the weight transfers to the rear of the car, and the front becomes light. This is why fwd drives cars wheelspin easily on a hard launch. Why do you think top fuel dragsters are rwd as opposed to fwd? If you are going to correct someone at least be correct.

That makes absolutely no sense. A 'launch' requires acceleration which means as soon as the wheels start turninng weight transfers rearward, meaning from this moment traction on the front wheels is decreasing, and traction on the rear wheels is increasing. The laws of phyics do not pause for '5 yards or so'.
If you are going to correct someone who is going to correct someone who is correcting someone who is correcting someone at least be correct.

Front wheel drive guarantees better traction on launch? That's the exact opposite of what it does in comparison to rear wheel drive. There's a reason most performance cars are either RWD or 4WD.

You should try that Google search thing on the internet, I hear it is very good for finding things like Audi dealers close to where you live.

Front wheel is better but id buy a BMW 4 before this, not sure if the A6 is a new model or not, or still the old model like A5

4 series is a poser coupe (A5 equivalent). The A6 is comparable to a 5-Series.
The A6 is about 5 years into its life so is not new but not old. I actually have one on the company and it is very very good at everything but not exceptional at anything. Its very comfortable and the cabin is outstanding.
Also the A6 shares nothing in common (drivetrain aside) with an A5 and never has done. It common DNA is with an A7 (aka "dog taking a poo", "the hunchback A6")

Front wheel drive is actually much more stable on slippery surfaces and guarantees better traction on launch. Rear wheel drive is more for drifting enthusiasts... which let's be honest not too many out there are :-P

RWD is generally much more fun and a much more involving drive especially when comparing the middle management fare like BMW, Audi, Merc. Granted you are screwed during the couple of snow days each year.

Front wheel drive is crap, and all cheap cars have FWD.

Lol I have a Bmw 320d I don't exactly go drifting. It feels better than front wheel drive for steering round corners as the power is in your back wheels and steering front obviously. Got an a4 aswel front wheel drive and put your foot down and you wheel spin the front whilst trying to steer so you go in a straight line. I prefer rear wheel drive to front feels better. Until it snows!!! But 4 wheel next car I think.

The price looks pretty good actually for that particular model against other leasing co's
But if your serious id email the deal to some audi deals across the country and you could get them to match the deal and not charge you the admin fee, thats what a lot of people did with the recent A4 deals, saves you worrying about dealing with a broker
Not sure where your based but try York Audi as they matched the A4 deal for me without too much trouble, others mentioned Hull Audi and Oxford Audi

looking for a nice car on a lease but need 15k mileage

I'm ordering an A-class from Evans and Halshaw unless you want the AMG it's less that £250 a month

You're better off going for maybe 10k, and paying the excess mileage.
It is certainly interesting - I thought it was a spoof website at first, but it isn't .... !!
The owner was on "Dragons Den" a few years ago and turned down the offers for a share in her company!
Id have a look on the audi.co.uk website and get your local dealers and google them to see who owns them, you probably have a better chance of getting a match if your area has dealers owned by different companies - for example every Audi dealer in my area is owned by Lookers so they can charge what they like knowing most people wont bother to shop around - lookers in Glasgow laughed when I asked them to match the A4 deal but York Audi owned by JCT600 matched it in minutes, will cost me £25 or so to get to York from here to pick it up which is no problem.
You could also just email every dealer near you, their own websites linked from audi.co.uk, but if you do dont mention the arrangment fee from the broker, just cover the rental and up front payment and you will hopefully save the arrangement fee

thanks just awaiting a quote (5) on your advice.
I'm looking at a lease I guess they can help for under 2K a year for 24 months 8 to10k miles on a diesel cactus auto.

Agreed they are very good but :
1) They don't do leasing
2) Like buying direct from any dealer you may not get the car you want in the time you want it. I was quoted a great price for a new Mondeo but the spec I wanted meant a lengthy lead time so I had to go "off the shelf" as my company car lease was ending. Still got a good price but next time I would def use carwow as the lead time won't be so relevant.
