Leasing can be an affordable, practical route into having your own private car, but it's not always easy to tell the good deals from the duds.
The experts at our sister magazine What Car? work hard to find you the best pay-monthly schemes, taking into account mileage allowance, montly outlay, contract length and initial deposit. We'll be bringing you the best deals they find from a different segment each week.
Looking to buy, not lease your next car? Autocar's new used car deals section can help you find a great price on a nearly-new model
This week, large family cars:
1. Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ecoblue Zetec 5dr
£1831 deposit, £302 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year
The Mondeo defined the large family car class until SUVs stole all of its buyers. It’s therefore no surprise that it remains good to drive, gives a comfortable ride and comes with loads of standard equipment.
2. Mazda 6 2.0 SE-L Nav+
£1676 deposit, £276 per month, 48 months, 8000 miles per year
We really like Mazda’s suave saloon here at Autocar. It has really neat handling yet avoids a stiff ride, is solid value for money and comes very well equipped. There’s also a great, non-touchscreen infotainment system inside and a huge amount of space.

Are people actually spending this on a lease for a car? £500/mo for a 2.0l BMW!? £650/mo for a 4-pot Merc?! These seem like crazy numbers for distinctly average cars!
If you really cannot wait, there are plenty available from specialist dealers with delivery mileage, if you are prepared to pay a £2K premium.
They are ridiculously priced anyway. Better to wait for 3 years until they have depreciated to a sensible price.
The problem with the GR Yaris (however desirable it may seem), is that if you order one now, you won't see it until 2022!!
The entire 2021 allocation is now sold out, sorry guys.
