Which lease car

7 replies

helpwhichcar · 13/02/2024 19:10

New to leasing and have narrowed it down to 2 options:

  1. Fiat 500 mild hybrid 1.0 2023 at 190pm
  2. Corsa turbo Sri 1.2 2021 at 230pm.

I am a single person and often only drive 20 minutes to and from work.

I know I love driving the corsa but have never driven a fiat 500.

I do prefer a punchier car and enjoy the feeling of zipping about.

Can't work out if the corsa is worth the money or whether I would be more than happy in a little fiat.

Any advice is welcome!

The least possible. Lease cars are always a waste of money

@IgglePiggledidawiggle

Unfortunately I can't afford a reliable second hand car and have been stung in the past 😞 my worry was taking a contract on the fiat and then regretting it.

Go test drive a fiat from a garage

As others said, money down the drain

Even worse, be VERY CAREFUL as when these cars are returned, some go over them with a toothpick and someone I knew at work got hammered for repair costs on the slight scuffs on wheels, few scratches and dents from igorant people that smash their doors into other peoples property.

There is something called 'fair wear' criteria but I'd treble check what it is

I had wondered about this. Would I enquire about any Fiat 500 close to me sold by a garage or a fiat garage? Worried about test driving and then the pressure of sales people asking if I want to buy Blush

Thank you, I will look into this

@helpwhichcar yeah just find one similar to spec as lease one.
Enquire ask for test drive. Say you'll think about it and never return 😂
