Have Mii for just £79 per month, with insurance

9th April 2013 Print
Seat Mii

A brand new SEAT Mii is now available for just £79 per month*, with free insurance for an entire year. It’s subject to a deposit (that’s the main reason the little star is there), but it still means that a brand new and very excellent car can be yours for less than a posh gym membership.
 
And the Mii in question isn’t a bargain basement special either - it’s a three-door Mii Toca, which is based on generous SE specification but adds rear parking sensors and the SEAT Portable System. They’re in addition to 14-inch alloy wheels, front electric windows, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob.
 
The £79 offer makes the monthly payment for the car and insurance during the first year less than many drivers pay for their insurance premium alone – particularly younger drivers.**
 
The Mii Toca is powered by a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine with 60 PS and 95 Nm, offering great low-speed flexibility and awesome fuel economy – it returns 62.8 mpg and 105 g/km, which means its first-year Road Fund Licence (RFL) is free, and just £20 thereafter.
 
Standard equipment includes body-coloured, heated and electrically adjustable door mirrors, alloy wheels, chrome dial and switch surrounds, a gloss white dashboard fascia, split-folding rear seats and air conditioning.
 
And thanks to the addition of rear parking sensors, not backing into a wall or another road user has never been easier.
 
The SEAT Portable System usually costs £275 but is included with Toca specification. The removable device uses a five-inch colour touch screen and features satellite navigation as well as controlling the radio and other media. It can also act as a trip computer, and it controls the Bluetooth telephone functionality.
 
The first year free insurance offer included with the £79 deal is a real sweetener, but every Mii driver enjoys very low insurance premiums anyway – every Mii falls into either group 1E or 2E, with the Toca edition in the former. These scooter-like ratings are assigned to the Mii because of its five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, comprehensive security features and low repair costs, among other factors.
 
The £79 offer is available until the end of June 2013. Now, the small print…
 
£79 per month offer applies to a 42-month personal contract hire agreement with a £2,630 advanced payment, and assuming a maximum of 5,000 miles per annum. Excess mileage is charged at 4.4 pence per mile, payable at the end of the agreed lease period. Quotations are given subject to the vehicle being serviced and maintained in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. Further charges may be payable when vehicle is returned. Indemnities may be required. Excludes the Channel Islands. Subject to status from participating dealers only. Personal Contract hire provided by SEAT Finance, and may be varied or withdrawn at any time. One year’s free insurance available from SEAT Insurance available on all Mii derivatives for drivers over 21 years. Other eligibility criteria applies. UK only excludes Northern Ireland.
