If you choose longer lease, you have to consider extra costs of: replacement tyres, service, having car out of warranty. Most people would advise against 4 year lease, because you're paying to fix someone's else car. 2 years is usually recommended as sweet spot, since you can avoid most maintenance costs and in case of cars with Long Life service, pay only for one oil change.

Regarding A4 1.4TSI, read reviews, some people complain about lack of pulling power, some people say it's fine for them. Best to test drive it.

It's more about total cost for period of time. You can also find deals or request quotes from brokers for 1+23 or 1+35. Monthly payments will be a bit higher, but initial will be very low. If you don't have to pay road tax, then PCP might be good option, depending on the car and offer.I understand the logic but seems extreme finding a deposit every 24 months. I agree 48 months is a slight risk when once car is out of warranty in 4th year + required MOT. That said it's not like we're doing 30k miles are year. (If that matters).
In that case maybe 36 months is a nice comprise. For £23 pm I can add the fully maintained option which covers all replacement tyres and puncture cover.
Going to Carlisle Audi on Sunday to look at A4 Avant, A5 Sportback, and Q3. Stonking deal on an S3 hatchback but maybe the boot a little small. At the moment we're thinking A4 Avant.
A4 Avant ordered in Black Solid paint. (Because the three of us kind of prefer it to white)
Would appreciate views on maintaining black solid paint for over 4 years though. Is it going to start looking tatty because it's not metallic?
I wash our cars very regularly and don't neglect them. However, if solid black is not a good idea I need to know soon so I can change it to white.
Cheers.
We had a black VW Sharan. Only ever looked alright when it had just been cleaned. Won't have a black car again.Thanks for that Ernie, really appreciate your thoughts.
I have a solid white van (the first and last) and I'm forever washing it for the same reasons. I suppose if you like (obsess) a clean vehicle there's no easy colour to keep.
The point you rise about swirl marks on black are my biggest concern. Had the van well over a year now and once cleaned it really is as good as new. With all that said maybe white is the one to go for. I'd like to chat with someone who has a solid black car for their views.
Cheers
