Hot car deal: spicy Volkswagen Polo GTI hot hatch for £225 per month

Volkswagen has a rich history of hot hatchbacks produced under the coveted ‘GTI’ branding. The latest Polo GTI delivers hot-hatch thrills in a refined package, so it’s comfortable to live with but punchy when you put your foot down. Like all the best hot hatchbacks, it’s just as capable when dropping the kids off to school, as it is putting a smile on your face on the back road home. Now you can enjoy its breadth of abilities for a bargain £225 a month!

What’s so good about this Volkswagen Polo GTI deal? 

This deal from selectcarleasing.co.uk lets you cover up to 5,000 miles a year with an initial payment of £2,695.92 then monthly payments of £224.66 over three years. As you might expect, there’s some flexibility on the duration of the agreement or the agreed mileage; for example, upping the arrangement to 8,000 miles per year means you’ll pay £256.34 per month, with an increase of just under £400 in the deposit amount, too.

What’s so good about the Volkswagen Polo GTI?

The Volkswagen Polo GTI builds on Volkswagen’s rich history of the hot hatch set out by the original Golf GTI in the late 70s by being quick and sporty, but also refined and usable everyday. Its styling is fairly discrete and understated in comparison to that of its now-discontinued rivals, the Fiesta ST and Hyundai i20 N, but for many buyers that’s a large part of its appeal.

The Polo GTI’s interior feels well built and more upmarket than that of rivals, and we like that the eight-inch infotainment is angled slightly towards the driver, giving a greater feeling of driver focus. As the flagship of the range, the Polo GTI is well-equipped, and this model comes with 17-inch alloys, matrix LED headlights with advanced automatic high beams, sat nav, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist and front and rear parking sensors.

Anything else I need to know about this deal?

This is a lease deal, often referred to as Personal Contract Hire (PCH), so there’s no option to buy the car at the end of the contract. You are effectively renting the car for the two-year term, but the deal is very flexible so you can adjust the term length, mileage limit and initial payment size to suit, but only at the outset. Once the deal is over, you just hand the keys back and start looking for your next car.
