Make sure you get a decent test drive, I did have a lower trim vw golf and the seat was so uncomfortable after 20 mins. If i was to get another vw it would have to have better seats and they all on the highest specs.
The £3799 ap for the automatic amounts to £105.52 a month (over the 3 year lease) above the full allowance. If you was to extended the lease after 3 years for another 2 years it would be £63.31 a month and then there’s the wait for one.
Also it’s not the most economical car being the 1.5l petrol version so it’s likely to cost alot to run at current fuel prices and with the pound slumping they not gonna get better soon and may rise again.
If it’s your only option then at least you understand the few negatives of it as well as the positives and are making an informed choice. Plus you need to make sure the car is suitable for you needs and daily running costs are part of that.
For some of us on the scheme finding large ap’s of £3799 is not easy and is not viable either. It might be worth making a short list of vehicles that are suitable for you needs and I’d suggest going and seeing them and test driving them all.
