Leasing a small family car. Pointers please before I die of boredom

[cloudbusting42]

I need to sort a lease car for a term of around 3 years and have no clue where to start. I'm looking for a 5-door small family car, used, that will cost me no more than about £175/month. I have zero interest in cars and ask only that it's reliable. Can anyone recommend any deals, recommended sites, or examples of cars that fit my criteria? Should I just go to a showroom?

I really like my Ford Fiesta - boot is big enough for a buggy, interior is nice, can fit a couple of seats in the back. Don’t know if that’s too small?

Try a Skoda Fabia. Good car, good value and VW finance very cheap. Also fair return policy. I sent back my quite shabby citigo and the assessor said most of the many bumps and scrapes were fair wear and tear and charged me about £70.

Just don't take any of the massively overpriced add ons they will try to sell you.

I lease my Golf GTi direct from Volkswagen Finance. I am halfway through a 3 year lease. I paid £700 up front and pay £165 a month for an 8000 mile pa lease with no servicing.
