Bargain Volkswagen Golf GTI lease deal for £10 a day: Hot car deal

While it’s fun to toy with the idea of owning a sports car, the demands of everyday life have a habit of steering us towards something more sensible. That’s where a car like the Volkswagen Golf GTI steps in – it’s just as usable every day as a run-of-the-mill Golf hatchback, but it delivers genuine driving thrills when you decide to put your foot down. Five decades on, the Golf GTI continues to nail this balance of performance and practicality, and it's now more accessible than ever thanks to this lease deal we’ve spotted.

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

This two-year lease deal from Central Vehicle Leasing is just about the most affordable way to get behind the wheel of a brand new Golf GTI. Monthly payments of £309.59 equate to roughly £10 per day – a very competitive figure when compared to similar hot hatchback rivals. In fact, you’ll struggle to find a Hyundai i30 N, a BMW 128ti or a Ford Focus ST for under £400 per month.

An upfront deposit of £3,600 is required for this deal and it comes with an annual mileage limit of 5,000 miles. That limit can be increased if you’re willing to pay more each month – doubling to 10,000 miles per year will cost you £328.82 a month, although your initial payment won’t change. You have the opportunity to extend the lease to three or four years if you wish, but this will bump up the monthly payments.

While a newly-facelifted Golf GTI is heading to UK dealerships soon, the car in this deal is an in-stock, pre-facelift model with a 242bhp turbocharged engine and DSG automatic gearbox. Sure, the new model gets a few upgrades here and there, but at this price, the pre-facelift model is hard to overlook. Plus, it still has all the equipment you could want, including a digital driver’s display, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED lights and a sporty-yet-subtle styling package.

What’s so good about the Volkswagen Golf GTI?

Considered by many to be the hot hatchback pioneer, there’s a reason why Volkswagen still builds the Golf GTI. It occupies the ideal sweet spot for those looking for a fun family car, or for those who want a more practical sports car. While 242bhp might not sound like much in today’s world of 600bhp electric cars, it's the GTI’s chassis that sets it apart. There are few family cars more enjoyable to pilot along a twisty B road, but select comfort mode, and it’s just as happy to tackle the school run or a long motorway slog.

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.
