    You may want to look at a PCP as a bridge to leasing in the future that way you can PX your old car. Some Leases can also involve a PX, or a parallel sale of the old vehicle.

    Typical example PCP offers here:-

    You should be able to get any main dealer to get close to these prices.

    It'd be more for a Feline but that's a fab price, thank you :)

    In that case, does anyone know of any other cars that have the open and go keyless feature?

    How does that old saying go? Something about using money you don't have... to buy things you don't need... to impress people you don't like?

    But you'd own the car rather than be renting it.

    And can sell it for, say, £5,000. Is that more, or less than your maintenance, insurance etc for 3 yrs?!

    Keyless Entry - Renault Clio, Captur, Zoe (maybe Twingo?) Nissan Juke (maybe Micra?)

    So this time I would also like sideways handles on the outside

    I'm sorry - but WHAT?

    Handles that you pull outwards, in the horizontal plane, rather than ones that you pull upwards, I imagine, like on the OP's mark I Ford Ka.

    Personally, having driven the 108 for a few days, as well as a couple of its rivals, the Hyundai i10 and the VW Up, I wouldn't even consider the 108/C1/Aygo. The other two are in a different league. Better in every respect apart from kit levels (especially vs. the Up) and arguably styling (vs. both, although the interior styling of the 108/C1/Aygo is a bit of a mess, IMO.)

    All just reminding me of the Top Gear 'tribute' to Peugeot and the suggestions made about people that drive them.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VUAzKgowx3Q

    Or in the Saab tribute where there was a line up of people (a chav in a cap - who takes the bus, a man in suit with Bluetooth headset - who drives an Audi, an elderly lady - who drives a Honda, an architect - who drives a saab, and a man facing the wrong direction - who drives peugeot.

    Especially with the sideways handles comment :rotfl:

    I know they're the same along with the Toyota Aygo, I just think the Pug is the better looking of the 3

    Do you thinks it's safe to not include maintenence then? I'm assuming that just means the service once a year, and I can go to any garage for that?

    Is leasing even a good idea? I definitely don't want to take a loan out but I'd like a brand new car that I can just pay for monthly. In 3 years time I might not even want to keep it and want to try something else.

    You don't want a loan but you want to lease a car?

    Is that a 'feature' people actively seek out?

    I've got several cars outside and I'm struggling to even picture the door handles in my head even though I use them every day...

    People go nuts for LED running lights, so who knows? In fairness, I have heard it said that pull-out door handles are a safety feature (easier for rescue services in the event of an accident), and that's why they the pull-up ones have been disappearing. Also, I hear that they are preferable if you have long and/or false fingernails. Still, as a life goal, having pull-out door handles on your car is pretty modest, I'll grant you.
