    These charts usually start from the list price. I'd much rather they started from their 'taget price' - I'd love to know if that turned many depreciation 'curves' into straight lines.

    I just bought my wife a 600-mile Yaris, and given the price I paid, she's not going to lose much in the first year.

    What happens if you go over 10,000
    Not a lot of annual mileage is it.

    How much per mile over ?
    Be happy...;)

    But at the end of this, you have no car to show for your money, no money for another car and no choice but to get sucked into another of these "deals". If you want to live your life trapped in a circle of debt, then go for it.

    I would say, the price per mile over what is only 192 miles a week or 27 and a half miles a day is quite important, very important.
    27 miles a day is not going to get anyone very far is it.

    Work on the assumption ever mile over your 27 miles a day is going to cost you extra money and you might as well take a taxi.
    Be happy...;)

    It's a good lease deal, but as others have said you won't have anything for your money after two years.

    How about a loan on an older vehicle at £150 per month you would have something at the end of the loan period?

    Leasing is attractive because you avoid potential repair bills, but from a money saving angle, £153 per month is a lot to spend on peace of mind.

    And a TDCi isn't the car to be doing less than 10,000 a year in.
