    It will be a good deal to those that can afford it, there is little to quiz the leasing company about, they want to sell you a loan in return for the use of a car, it really is that simple.

    Forgot to mention its £240 a month

    Or I could get an A Class AMG for the same price?

    Which would be better?

    Whichever fits your budget and vehicle requirements, I don't do credit with cars , so it's only about the vehicle requirements for me, each buyer is individual, so it's not that the one car is better than the other, as they are created for a different kind of user.

    Better to drive to whom? I guess you could look at some reviews on youtube, but at the same time few are race drivers, so things like being unable to switch off ESC completely is a moot point, some don't prefer rowing gears, some don't like low seated cramped positions, as for VFM, they are both the same price you said.
    Also you could test drive both surely?
    The other thing is that they are both diesel, which to me is like suffering PE, you get a surge but it's all over too quickly, drive a petrol like a diesel and you will return near the same fuel economy.

    Exactly what im planning to do..

    With my job theres a lot of motorway travel but i also like to drive fast which makes the c-class the best option being faster and smoother...

    Faster and smoother than what though? You will be in the same traffic jam as everyone else, my current dsg is train ride smooth and still returns great acceptable economy and arrogant performance when desired.

    For lots of motorway miles I'd choose the C Class over the A.

    Think long and hard about why you really want this vehicle, there's more to life than paying the equivalent of a 2nd mortgage just to rent a car.

    So you'll pay £7700 for a car to do a maximum of 20,000 miles.

    If that's how you want to spend your money, that's your concern. I'd prefer to put the money into my pension.
