Getting a car allowance with my new job so looking to get a new car. Leased would be best option needs to have a maintiance contract with it and be allowed 20k PA on mileage.
I get £400 a month and then 11ppm. What should i get? Who is the best company to go to?
Im thinking a 1 series BMW or A3 i just dont know.

Hardly any places advertise with 20k. Phone them up and they will quote it. My van went up £12 a month to up to 25k.

Got to be a Black Edition if you go for an A3. There aren't many to choose from though as Audi totally underestimated demand for them. If you want a new one you are looking at 5 or 6 months waiting time And those that are out there are fairly highly priced. I have been looking recently and there aren't many to choose from.

And about the Alfa I'm not sure about the reliability of them still. But it has a warranty, it's just if you have a good dealer nearby that doesn't involve you going miles out the way to get there if something goes wrong.
I had a look round one the other day in the shopping centre and they look good, dash is a bit funny but other than that I quite liked it.

My MiTo has had no major problems at all (1.6 JTD), dealer has been nothing short of amazing with customer service and it's a fine motor. With my heavy right foot (85+ on the motorway and a fast drive to work) I average between 48 and 51MPG day in day out, it's fun to drive, planted, different and was far cheaper than a Fiesta/Audi A1/*shudder*Golf TDI.
Go and take a serious look at one!

VW & Audi lead times are crazy at the moment! Avoid if you can
Just something to keep in mind

BMW had some free upgrade offers on by the way, might be worth a look. My friend just got a 1 series & it's pretty nice
