    Best personal contract hire company?

    Could somebody recommend me a good leasing company that provide personal contract hire plans? Preferably one that they've personally used?

    I need to get a new car and I want to go down this route but there seems to be a lot of dodgy looking internet companies when I google the subject.

    Finally I was thinking of an Audi A3 Sportback 5dr SE. Good choice? Whats the alternatives in the same class that you might think a better buy?

    Cheers all

    Seriously, buy yourself a bicycle, and save up to pay cash for the car you want.

    These contract hire companies are all scum.

        People usually pay me good money for such advice. I come on this board and give it away for free and what do I get: abuse!

        Tch!

        Think I'll flounce now.

        Flounce, flounce, flounce.

              Treaded is right.

              Only get loans for things u can either make money from (investment) or save lives with.

              else u will still be paying off the car when its value is less than what u owe the finance people.

                I don't want to pay it off. I want to lease it.

                  What is the benefit of leasing?

                  I'm no expert, but I believe it is an expensive way to own a car, after all the leasing company need to make a nice fat profit.

                  If you need a car, why not just buy one and get a rock bottom price when buying using cash. If you don't have the cash, then borrow cheaply and effectively pay cash. When you don't want the car anymore sell it privately.

                  How can leasing give any benefit to car ownership?

                    If the price you pay during the lease period is equal to the depreciation over that time.
