New car time your thoughts
Hellol,
Need your help guys. looking for some ideas on new car. Hoping some for some ideas I may not have configured.
Current Car ; Nissan Quasha 1.5d. Not sure spec. but has self Parking etc.
Requirements: Good value lease with low maintenance cost. Petrol only. Good motorway cruiser. Half decent tech. but auto parking is waste of time for me. reasonable co2. Good boot space. At least same as qashaqi.
do about 35 to 40 k a year (Petrol makes no sense I know )
Looking at the Karoq and superb so far. Kia Sportage is out due to high Co2. Another quasqai is out as infotainment is rubbish and fancy a change
Any thoughts gratefully received.

Buy a two year old car with a bank loan.
Unless you find an amazing deal high mileage leases are usually expensive.0 -
Thanks for feedback.
Should have said it is a company car. so must be leased. If it was my own private car would be much more money saving0 -
Depending on just how big you need it to be you could add an Octavia to that list of Skodas.
I'm on my second petrol Octavia estate and love it. My new one has lots of bells and whistles (touch screen stereo, cruise control, lane control, sat nav, bluetooth, USB connection for Apple or Android Auto, DSG, DCC, panoramic sunroof, electric heated seats, settings can be customised for mutliple drivers and other bits I am still figuring out).
Mine is the 245bhp vRS version, but with your mileage a 1.4/.5 TSI might be better suited for a decent MPG and CO2.
I have two kids and the boot on the Octavia is perfect, the Superb is insanely large, but still a very nice car."We act as though comfort and luxury are the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about” – Albert Einstein0 -

Ahhh, fair enough. Worse things than being forced to have a brand new car!
For lease deals I found the Whatcar website to be quite good, also there's a long running thread on Pistonheads for the best lease deals. Volvo S90s look pretty good at the moment, not sure if there would be a suitable petrol option though....0 -
Why not get a diesel? Seems stupid not to.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
