You're new here aren't you!

Used and New can you spot the difference? Everytime, every single lease thread, every every time *sigh*

The Japanese are generally clueless in how to present a decent quality interior, just look at the GT86/BRZ wonderful car to drive, hideous cheap interior.

amazing deal. the more miles you do, you will save

I'm 2 years into having this as my current company car. I have 'touring sport'.

Drives great but the CVT takes a while to get used to and as others have said its a very lazy car to drive.

I get around 45mpg most days. (Which isn't bad for the route I take and the way I drive)

0-60 is pretty good, 0-30 is even better. (You often surprise a lot of people in the acceleration phase due to the lack of a gear change). The top speed is also much higher than the 108mph specified. On a track I had mine at over (indicated) 125mph.

I chose mine as it had fairly low CO2 levels, but due to the BIK increases for company car owners, cars like these are becoming less attractive. The only 2 options if you want a half decent car and not give the tax man all your cash every month is either the BMW 330e or the Mercedes 350e. Both hybrids with 49 CO2. It's either that or get a van...

Did not realise I wrote a reply instead of a normal post in the reply, but I like the picture :smile:

I make a comment about the list price and you rant about monthly payments.

4750.26/24=197.92

Oh dear, first to take the bait...

I've done over 50k miles in mine....great car with nice interior (leather is white / silver on mine)...sat nav...heated seats and parking camera (& sensors)...pay next to nothing on tax (mines a company car) and having the Eco / electric backup is great (I was down to 5 miles left in the tank this morning but knew I could always toddle along on electric lol)...any serious questions feel free to message me

Huh?

Good price for a hybrid.

However the car is not worth £21895 brand new. That's the list price.

Take £5k off for a realistic figure.

Could you not just buy a used car and keep it after 2 years? This seems a waste of 5k

Lovely car. I had a 2013 Auris and it was a joy. Rear camera is hard to part with if you move to a car without one (as I did!) although I suppose it's bad to get lazy and start depending on such things!
I actually really liked the interior on mine it was quite minimal and clean. The updated one is admittedly a bit nasty, a step backwards that's a shame.
Good deal if you're into leasing.

I have this car in the estate model. Great car no complaints , used to have the Prius however this is a great cheaper alternative with much better interior spec.

Unfortunately I don't know, perhaps, it's easier if a company's fleet is being updated to do a good deal for them. All the back and forth for a personal customer may not be worth the hassle.

Lexus CT200h from £200+VAT also looks good

Thought so. Very annoying.
Out of interest, why are certain deals only available to Business users?
the company clearly also cater for private individuals and the money made would be the same I assume.

Is it possible to get this deal as a Personal one or is it strictly business?
Can't seem to find the same deal under the the personal section

Be careful with excess mileage. It can be a sliding scale. X for the first X miles and then increases quite significantly after.

I drove a Prius 50k miles one year. Used to leave me so tired after driving it all the time. Great cars but not very involving to drive however very very realisable over 212k miles only ever needed a water pump. Had a Focus after that over similar mileage and didn't feel anywhere near as tired.

What are the general conditions to get approved for a business lease? And what are the tax implications? Anyone mind sharing their experience? :smiley:

Took the brother in laws of for a test drive and can say the following.... Front end is nice looking, it was smooth and quiet and had a bit of power. Love the electric motor working at 30mph and under which will save money. Inside is dull as dishwater but Toyotas are highly reliable. I was fairly impressed which obviously means I don't know a thing about cars anymore. The choice is yours! Heat added as a great price and cheap to run round town

Hybird? :stuck_out_tongue:

The LS is the exception, I think its quite stunning inside.

Lease website appears to be down. perhaps they didn't pay their hosting company.

Seems a great deal to me of I was after a new car.

This one was 8ppm, which would work out around £80 per month for extra 12k pa... so probably not difficult to achieve.

10k. Not sure what the excess is - might just about work?

and hybrid's are a great lazy car to drive. Fully recommend.

Gotta say, that's an awful lot of car for the money...
Heat.
