Hi curious does this scala come with adaptive cruise for motorway driving?

Looking online at the specs it comes with standard CC and speed limiter. Adaptive CC is available as an option.

Which engine model did you acquire?

The exact car in this deals is the: SKODA Scala 1.0 TSI 95 SE L 5dr Petrol Hatchback.

If you require a quote for any other model get in touch with the dealer in my original post or have a look on carwow at the offers available.

I'm not looking just now - I was merely curious as there are several engine variants so wondered which one you'd selected.

That is why you go for the deal not the car when leasing, 

At the end of the day don't be fussy what you drive (lease) and//or just do the numbers.

I am, generally, not a fan of car leasing but when you see deals like this, the option seems quite compelling - even more so if the £100 per month cheaper trim model is considered.  To be fair, my dislike of car leasing is not of car leasing, per se, but of anything that imposes an ongoing cost liability.

However, when leasing, it seems very hard to find a way to identify the deal in the various websites.  Even the deal the OP has, which I have acknowledged is attractive, I cannot see how you get to the excess mileage rate unless making an official enquiry.

There does not seem to be a site where you can go and simply suggest some criteria, say:

• Family hatchback
• Five seater
• Fiesta / Focus / Mondeo class - pick one
• Climate
• Folding Mirrors
• Adaptive cruise control

And then the site spits out all the viable options for you to sort into total cost order and go.

Better off with standard cruise, in my opinion.
I've used adaptive cruise in several different makes of cars and even on minimum settings I find they leave way too big a gap between me and the car in front,
Which invites people to pull into the gap, which makes your car brake to maintain the gap......and so on and so on....

Excess mileage charge on my deal is 3p . I believe this is higher from some of the online brokers, but as you say there is no easy way to find this out. Edit: I got a quote from yeslease for the same deal and the excess mileage charge was 8.4ppm

The only suggestion I could make would be to use a site like www.cargurus.co.uk as you can put many options into your car search and once you have the models which fit your needs go on a site like carwow or leaseloco to see some prices. Not ideal but a workaround.

Any car is an ongoing cost liability.

Yes and No.

By "ongoing cost liability" I mean anything I have no choice other than to pay.  I try to keep all these numbers to the absolute minimum such that if income fails, my personal financial resilience is as strong as it can be.

In that context a car that is owned is not an ongoing cost liability as I have choice that can be simply implemented.  If income fails, the car can be parked up SORN and costs zilch, or can be sold to generate increased personal financial resilience.  Same options if the car had a bill I just did not want to pay.  Not so easy with a monthly-commitment associated with PCP or lease - any options are somewhat harder to enact.

I know you are more pro-lease than I, but even I accept these offers on the Skoda do seem very attractive, especially the entry-level one at £100 per month.  It is hard to beat, even with a much older car.
