Yes, a headlining impressive monthly cost, due to the deposit being almost as much as the collective monthlies. Just waiting for the next deal to state "only £22pm and £4491 down". These big deposit small monthlies deals are no good if the car gets stolen or written off early on into your lease as you'll not get any of that deposit back should that happen.

so it's actually over £200 a month really accounting for the deposit?

Interesting deal....

How does it stand if getting it on a "PCH" then using if for business miles?

Only £60 a month extra for the diesel VRS.

so it's actually over £200 a month really accounting for the deposit?

yes!

Am looking at the Hyundai offers at present they seem like good cars and the 5 yr warranty looks amazing!
Anybody had experience of Hyundai ? Please?

Pity a VW dealer wouldn't match that deal on the equivalent Golf GT150.

With an initial payment of £2,490 can you really use the word 'only' before it?

Hyundai = awful cars. 5 year warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Skoda has the best price/value in the VW group.

Is this the one with the cruise control which gets stuck? :confused:

Not a bad price at all. Not keen on the car really but for a lot of people this would tick many boxes.

SE Sport! Skodas marketing division trying to cover all the bases there!

Good deal, heat added.

​not relevant for leasing though is it?

By my calculations, it's actually cheaper from National Vehicle Solutions: £2,400 initial payment plus £239.99 admin fee, followed by 23 monthly payments of £86.71, making a total of £4,634.22, or a monthly average of £193.10. And they throw in a space-saver spare wheel!

5 bags for 2 years motoring. That's not good.

Wow 53mpg for a petrol, I only get between 28 and 32mpg when I'm lucky. What engine size is yours?

Mine isn't a Hyundai.

Wasn't there a cheaper deal posted not long ago?

This deal is £208.33 per month.

Sadly you've let the "only £109 a month" headline figure fool you

​Everyone has their own experience. My personal dealings with Hyundai over 8 years has been nothing but trouble. First car needed a whole new wiring loom within 6 months of new. They wanted to order new loom from Korea and rip my brand new car to pieces to have it fitted. I eventually had to call the UK director of Customer Services to get anywhere. Eventually they conceded (after threatening legal action), and replaced the car.
However they replaced it with a car whose whole batch had a manufactered flaw, evident years down the line. The radiator fluid they had used at manufacture, and subsequently recommended was corrosive to the engine block. 6 years later, brand new engine was required. To get Hyundai to admit to this and actually take action was no easy task. Eventually replaced the engine at their expense, but left nothing but electrical faults and niggles which their pathetically trained engineers were unable to rectify.
All in All, I shall never ever recommend Hyundai again. If you get a good car, then it's plain sailing. If you get one of the many many batches of poor cars, you'll wish you'd never gone to Hyundai.

I have always got excellent economy out of my cars and its not about driving like a granny, just no hard accelerating, getting up the gears quickly, and planning ahead so hardly need to use the brakes, put it this way i have never had a car need new brake pads or a clutch despite putting 100,000 miles on some of my cars. A lot of people think you should not use 5th/6th gear below 40mph, I have always used 5th/6th as low as 30mph as most cars are still doing at least 1300rpm when it top gear so not a problem.
I now have a skoda fabia 1.4 diesel and get 67mpg, £40 of fuel gets me 535 miles.

ONE POINT FOUR LITRE! ! !
Jeez

I haven't. Irrespective of deposit you then pay 109 a month. the vrs is 169 a month regardless of deposit which I assume is the same. Therefore it's 50% more expensive each month.

Central UK Vehicle leasing have the Estate version slightly cheaper.

I have a Hyundai i800, more than happy with it. Only issue I've had is with the rear heater pipes corroding. They didn't fail and I asked the dealer to check them during the 4 year service and they replaced them without any questions, under the warranty. They didn't look too bad but other i800 owners had noticed theirs had corroded hence why I asked them to look.
I think Hyundai reliability has taken a knock the last year or two but they were far more reliable than the German owned manufacturers for many years. My 8 seater has a basic spec but then it was over 30% cheaper than the VW equivalent. I've added a few things, USB sockets under seats, a passenger side grab handle and twin roof DVD players etc and it's not cost me much.
As for this deal, I've voted it hot as it seems very reasonable.

'incredible deal' I don't think so - £5k net cost to rent a car for 2 years, then no residual value as down payment for a new one. As Admiral Akbar would say, "it's a trap".

​well it's not a £50k car, so your reply is completely irrelevant

I took it to mean that the use of the word "only" should never be used for a sum of £2490, whatever it related to, but any sum is relative - a pound is a lot for a single tin of beans, but not for a large loaf of bread. Valid comment.

You're right. My mistake. Apologies.

Actually about 30% overall as the deposit remains the same.
Some of that will be recouped in fuel economy.

Does it come with cruise control :-(

Not much fun is it :disappointed: I've had a very similar experience with a brand new Kia recently and sympathise entirely. Interior and engine pulled apart shortly after and before receiving it. Never going near either company ever again. To me an oil seal going on a gearbox after only 55k mentioned earlier, says quite a bit also. Big end oil seal one of the many problems with mine.

​You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. The ONLY way deals should be compared is based on an all in average monthly cost, as everything else is smoke and mirrors.

Not another Skoda deal. Might as well use the £2,490 to buy a decent second hand car.

It was a blonde moment.

I can be heavy on the pedal from time to time. But I actually get a higher MPG cruising at 80. But then again its a V6 2.5, which is why its a bit hungry. I can get around 400 miles on a full tank which is around £65.

Stop talking nonsense, the OP has provided all the necessary information, people don't need to be spoon fed. If your comparing like for like offers in a spreadsheet fair enough but that's for the individual.

Mobile phone deals posted on here with an upfront have the initial payment, then the monthly fee, as that's exactly what you would pay the supplying company. Not an average monthly sum.

If my memory serves me correctly, this was being advertised @ £80 x 23mths and £2490 initial dep just a few weeks ago by the same dealer.
Why has it increased, especially as the new model is due out next year!

​You are the one talking nonsense, and obviously have never worked in finance. People DO compare these deals, just at if it were in a spreadsheet, and most people have a feel for what they would be willing to spend on average. Everytime these deals get posted, and someone posts the data line this without an average rate that is all in for comparison purposes, they get slated, and for good reason.

By your logic I could have posted this deal at only £1 a month with just £4800 up front, and you would have voted it hot. Feel free to try and defend it but you're just digging a deeper hole.

I'm usually in agreement with you Jamie, but not on this occasion. When you get a phone with an upfront payment, it's usually £50-100 (unless it's the new Iphone with almost no new features, but a designated new model number), not half of the total contract cost as this is.

Huge upfronts and headlining low monthlies are not in the least bit impressive when you look at the total cost. Average monthlies are a good comparator with PCP costs (where you can choose how much deposit, if any, to put down) to see if leasing is a good deal.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to post I am going to go with a Hyundai when my car lease is up whether as a lease or to buy I have made my mind up !

Surely if you have done 18000 miles already you are going to be looking at 40000 miles when your lease is up, most leases are 10000 miles per year max.

Correct, I took the 20k over 2 yr option. Been a high mileage year and will be at least 10000 over maybe more but budgeted for this at 4.2ppm additional cost. Happy with that.

Anyone that wants one should get in there before the face lift model comes out next month
