A35 v A250 - Lease v Buy

[ThMo0118]

So my current VW Scirocco lease ends this March and after lots of searching I think I have decided upon an A Class. I am needing to test drive both, but I have narrowed down to A35 and A250.

Firstly, what are peoples thoughts on the two models, anything in particular to look out for / benefits of one over the other?

Secondly, how have people financed theirs? I enjoyed how easy my first lease was, but I have debated the idea of buying an approved used with a few thousand on the clock and keeping for a longer time - maybe 4/5 years.

Any comments on both would be very helpful!

In June I handed back my leased (via VW Finance) Scirocco R and replaced with an A35 including Premium pack and denim metallic. This is leased again on a 2 year/ 10k miles pa agreement . On 3 + 23 this is £395 per month no maintenance. As a comparison the Scirocco maintained was £286 per month on 6 + 23.

Happy to answer any questions you may have on such a change of cars.

It should be fairly easy to decide between an A250 and an A35, based on the A35 being the sports model with an extra 82hp and the visual differences that go along with it.
In terms of retail price the A35 is around £5k more expensive across the trim specs......so do you want the extra performance it brings and are you prepared to pay for it?
