When my previous lease cars have been returned, the lease provider ( not necessarily the supplying dealer) has arranged collection. This was BCA for my last leased car that went back.

Thank you for the replies. Feels like a Scout 150 again, might try a test drive in a 184 with DSG. I have it with my Golf and it does not quite work for me. Agree the headlights on the Scout are not the best. Hopefully a decent lease deal on the new model will come along.

I currently have a leased diesel Scout 150 which goes back in May. Currently on the look out for a replacement, the family like the ride comfort provided by the current car. The size, space and overall experience has been very positive, I would prefer a bit more performance. Not keen on the DSG box, so the option might be a VRS. Does anyone have experience of both a Scout and a VRS with regard to ride comfort ?

Scout TDi 150 laggy?!
CaptainJack replied to Pigglesberg's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
That is not something I have noticed with my Scout. Might be worth getting a friend/the dealer to have a go -

What mode do you have the gearbox in sport,eco or normal ? -
Had my Scout for just over 6 months. 150 manual blue. Just over 8000 miles mainly on long holiday or motorway runs. Average 49-51 mpg. First Skoda, best points space,easy to drive long distances and good stat nav system. Not so good...not the most interesting looking car, small fuel tank and dipped headlights could be brighter. Is a very easy car for a family to live with. You should enjoy it

That's interesting, broker/dealer quotes were higher for metallic by circa £17pm for my scout. When I queried it ( my lease Corsa was only £'s more for metallic than red or white, due to better residuals) they replied that VW group did not factor this in and charged the full amount for metallic. Seems a false economy to me, as per the comments above.

octavia scout 2015/16 dsg and manual mpg
CaptainJack replied to gazv70's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Manual Scout which is nearly 4 months old with 4100 miles on the clock. Long term average of 49.7mpg. 80% of that mileage was two summer trips to France, fast A roads and motorway. Car was reasonably loaded up, air con working hard most of the time. One trip was of an Alpine nature and therefore hit the fuel consumption hard, but A roads (70 mph ) pulled it back. Gentle local trips get 52-54 mpg. The good bit, diesel was 76p a litre whilst in France -
