Am thinking of getting one. I can pull around 800 miles a month going to work and back and am currently getting hire cars every week thorugh work. Only passed my test last August and it has been a good learning experience so far. Cars have varied and would rate them in the order below. I drive over the M62 from Manchester so there is a lot of uphill.

BMW 118d 2.0l Auto
Focus 1.6 eCTDI or summat like that
Insignia 2.0l CDTi
Peugeot 508 SW 1.6 Diesel
Astra 1.4 petrol turbo
Astra 1.6 diesel
Astra 1.6 diesel auto
308 1.6 diesel
Citroen Grand Picasso
Hyundai i30
Kia Venga

Had a few different Astras and 308s sadly and most have been shit.

So am thinking of getting a lease car cos mileage will pay for it. Was thinking a Golf 2.0 TDi 184ps GTD. Insurance on one of them will be 600 cos I have not been driving long.

Anyone got experience of leasing? Was thinking two years would do it.
