I don't see any of these as must haves. They are okay, but not worth anything more to me. Apart from the chavy side shields, which to me, are a must not have. Okay, I'll accept that yellow calipers can look good on certain colours, but they're no big deal.

In fact, I think it's easier to spoil a Ferrari than it is to keep it stylish. But then again, all my Ferraris are blue or silver, so what do I know!

For what it's worth, I'm also in the 458 over 488 camp. In blue or grey, with tan interior.

There is a good value 458 spider from tom Hartley with a colour combo of Grigio S and tan leather going at the moment. That colour combo is keeping it 20k ish below similar spec / mileage ones. Bargains can be had if you have unique tastes.

For what it's worth the lease deal no longer shows as being available so someone must have took the car!! Haha

It was an outstanding deal then! Case closed. Incomparable cars.
I think most people (like many on here) thought the deal was too good to be true and missed out. It looked so much like a hoax.

Agree Dave. The first one I got seemed a hoax as the guy told me to email him at his 'personal email address' and not central leasing as he expected it to be busy- but then I got the central leasing one and checked it out.
If I hadn't recently bought the Cali I would have done it I think. But secretly wished for the 458 - which will be the best bet medium term

I was wondering the above also, since I got the offer email too. The game with leasing is not going for any options as they make the whole thing much less financially appealing, so would they actually deliver a no-option 488?

Out of my reach too but I thought ~ £70 a day to drive a 488 looked pretty stonking value, especially with the cheap additional miles.


Phil I see you've not been online since this post so I assume you're away , can you check your PMs , thanks

Dunno if this is relevant or not but my Audi Q3 (its been brilliant, soulless but just gets on and does the job) goes back on Wednesday and they are replacing it with an Evoque, 2.0 eD4 SE 5dr 2WD, black with grey leather, manual and the sky roof.

The whole point of leasing for me is to try different marques that I would not normally buy, never had an Audi before and never had anything from JLR either.

Bit apprehensive about this one but I guess time will tell.

Next thing, you'll be doing the school runs, weekly shop and the 'bums, tums and hips' class at the gym

Same colour and spec my company car one was Matt before they messed up the order (my company not LR) and I changed to Jaguar.

Those were my concerns...hence the black.

Best in class apparently.

I have loved mine matt. With a few alterations they can look pretty stunning in my opinion and going for black with a pan sunroof etc I think is a good choice. There is little doubt in its class it's the best looking and does things well.
The white Evoque 'pure' is certainly school run mum- but in black with the right extras they look great.

Yeh, there is no way I'd have an Evoque. I appreciate that some love them but for me it's hideous over design. Good job you have the Strad to offset it and maintain coolness equilibrium. Next year you can order a convertible version and go proper Essex on us.

the soft top is hideous, I saw a guy driving an orange one a few weeks ago , he looked ridiculous in it ,

I came close to buying an evoke last year, 3 years old , mrs wack isn't enthused by any car but she was quite taken with an evoke , it did have the glass roof and a light interior which made it nice and bright inside

In the end we didn't get it because I don't do renting and couldn't bring myself to spend 25k on a 3 year old one but I'd have been happy to drive it

A convertible evoque is beyond insane. The diversity of opinions is what makes this forum great, if everyone agreed on everything it would be pretty dull.

...2WD, a 2WD Land Rover

Please, must be a typo!
