My son has had 2 Polos, neither from mint, but both well appreciated.
But they can also be fruity.
I bought a Sep 2018 registered VW tiguan on PCP in Aug 2019 with 6200 on the clock, 9 1/2 grand off list price, plus lots of options I wanted on it like leather seats etc.
Just dont see any logic in buying brand new??
I thought PCP is a form of renting rather than buying as you have to give it back at the end of the term?
PCH is pure renting - you have no rights to the car at the end of the lease term.
PCP is effectively Hire Purchase with a break clause - at the end of the term, you can choose to either give the car back or pay a pre-agreed "balloon payment" to buy the car outright.
I'd go with the Polo.
I learnt to drive in one in 1989, just a good honest and (for then) simple car.
I keep looking at these .. . View attachment 133038. You need to save up a few years no claims first though
I'm obviously the outlier here
Does everyone else go looking for a specific make/model ?
Yep, Alfa fanboy and I say that having had a couple of Porsches. Alfas have soul and make you smile every time you drive them. They are not the unreliable rust buckets most (who have never owned an Alfa) would have you believe. Keeps second hand prices low with the stigma they still carry from the 70s
Honda Civic - the last few generations have been excellent cars and are getting better all the time.
On balance it looks like the Polo is car of choice from the list.....although someone has since recommended a Seat Leon. Anyone got any views on that?
