My Take: Not exactly the most attractive lease out there. Actually, it down right sucks. I would recommend looking at something else like a A3, GTI or Mazda3. I’m gonna try to get my hands on the XC60’s numbers this month. I hold some high hopes for that ride. The “ads” have shown it could be a decent lease, but we’ll see about that. Four years of free maintenance really makes leasing a Volvo worry-free.

Would you recommend the Mini S hardtop?
Definitely recommend the minis. The residuals are generally so high, it offsets the high money factors. In addition, they also offer the free-maintenance package making it it a low-cost lease. If I had an issue with MINI, it would be with the length of that coverage, which is only 36mo/36k miles (compared to Volvo’s 60mo/60k miles). Its not too big of a deal if your lease is 3 yrs @ 12k miles per year. If you go with the 15k miles per year, you might run into some maintenance costs once the coverage runs out.
any rates available on the Minis?
