    i have costed each option over the 3 year lease:

    citroen c3 max 0 ap £81.46/wk is £12707.76. but its mild hybrid and the smallest buut still comfortable but a no.

    citroen c3 aircross max 627 ap £86/wk total £14043.00 comfy right size but a bit wallowy. maybe.

    mini countryman monochrome £0 ap £81.46/wk £12707.76 all the toys but electric. not yet i dont think.

    mini countryman 1.5 c classic £327 ap £86/wk £13743.00 no heated seat/wheel. has elec tgate maybe.

    nissan juke hybrid tekna £597 ap £t/a £14013.00 + any increase in allowance etc. maybe.

    nissan juke hybrid n-connecta £227 ap £86/wk £13643.00 like for like swap but they have upgraded screens etc. maybe

    nissan quashqai e-power n-connecta £347 ap £t/a £13763.00 + any increases in allowance. uper 360 camera etc but no heated stuff maybbe.

    ok there is £1000 approx between the cheapest option and the most expensive in terms of 3 year cost but the cheapest the mini electric will cost more in fuel being unable to charge at home and the 2 most expensive will save fuel as they have the best mpg.

    so really there isnt much in it 300per year cost wise.

    the juke tekna has all the toys and a great sound system with the headrest speaker the camera system is excellant and its been fine the last 3 years in n-connecta trim is it worth 370 for the upgrade i would say yes.

    is it better than the quashqai e-power n-connecta ? ok no heated screen,wheel or seats but amazing camera system good power system definateley more poke and comfy.much more room which may be needed??

    the petrol mini lacks the hud,heated seats,screen and wheel.but has elec tailgate and is well put together and comfortable but only 40 odd mpg well behind the hybrids.

    the c3 aircross is the most expensive but is beaten allround by the juke tekna which is only 30 cheaper but will cost more when increases in allowance are taken in years 2 and 3.

    logical choice i think is the nissan juke hybrid tekna it has the nice to haves even though the heated stuff is only used 2 months out of 12, the camera and sound system are worth the extra on their own. so unless the mg’s super impress me its going to be a bumble bee coloured juke hybrid tekna next. with the mini and quashqai a close second.
