Right I am considering one of the 3 as a Lease car. Will lease it on a business plan through my own limited Company.
I am not looking for a debate on the pro's and con's of leasing but would just like some above comments on the above cars.
Im looking at the latest incarnation of each, hence all with the 1.4 twin charged engine.
Will be a daily driver/commuter around town and thus enough power with impressive fuel economy imho for my needs.
I will be selling my 330ci and buying something old skool and jap as a weekend/track car, maybe do a classic impreza build.
So given that they are all pretty much the same car underneath is there much to distinguish them?

They dont do diesel now : http://www.skoda.co.uk/pdf/brochure_fabia_vrs.pdf
Also its only 148 g/km2 which i think is pretty good given the performance.

Cupra has racing brakes as an option? I assume they are AP similar to the last generation and thus the standard ones are probably shite.
Dont want to have to spec a lot of options as price will go through the roof.

New Fabia looks better than the old one. Current Ibiza looks horrible though.
I'd probably be boring and go for the Polo.

The Ibiza and Fabia are always going to be better value for money, and out of the 2 I'd have the Fabia.

I'd have the Fabia because most people would go for the other 2, doesn't look as good as the old one.
Bocangera?

Not wanting to pro or con, but is the Fabia cheaper to lease?

You may think im biased, but I prefer the looks of the Ibiza to the other too. One of the mags said the Ibiza handled better for some reason too
Racing brakes are AP's, but they are not for racing use, could (and have) actually give up on a track day!

The Bocanegra is the same as the Cupra bar the gloss black front bumper bit.
Get the cupra with the AP brakes and it will be sweet. Been told by a few they are quicker then you think and remap to about 210bhp (iirc)
