Um ok that, I'm totally gonna get a golf. It REALLY has everything standard. Leather seating, bluetooth, trip computer, plus all the other I want. For much less money. Also a slightly bigger engine. VROOM VROOM.

I'm going for a test drive in a few days. Got a job that includes a lease car. Keeping certain aspects in mind, I'm leaning towards a Honda Civic Hybrid.
It's got nice interior:
And the car itself ain't too bad looking either:
Though, not white. I'm thinking black, with beige leather seatings. |

I can go for every car I want, as long as it's within budget (or just over budget).
It all depends on a thing called 'bijtelling'. Google Translate calls it aggregation, I don't know if the US have something like it. It comes down to this: every lease car has either 14%, 20% or 25% bijtelling, depending on its energy efficiency, emissions, etc. You'll have to take that percentage of the catalog price, divide it by twelve, and than take a percentage of the tax scale you're in (30% in my case) and that's what you'll have to pay per month.
For example: a car with a catalog price of 25000 and 20% bijtelling will cost me an additional ((25000*0.2)/12)*.3 = 125 euro per month.
This particular car has only 14% bijtelling, and with a catalog price of 26000 it'll cost me 91 euro per month, and is just 20 euro above my actual budget.
Some other cars that are budget efficient: Volkswagen Polo Bluemotion, Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion (though they have little accessories, or else I'll be paying a lot extra), Toyota Auris Hybrid (which is quite nice since it's a 1.8).
Another car I'm seriously interested in is a Seat Leon, though it's 20% and it doesn't come with automatic gear, something I'm really preferring since I'm going to be in a lot of slow moving traffic.
But you were just saying it because you were about to reply something like "Then I would definitely pick one of those other choices because a Civic sucks monkeyballs", right? :rolleyes: |

In your explanation, the "bijtelling" in English would be a tax or tariff. I could be wrong though, but that is what I get from the explanation and context you give.
On that note, Fiat 500 Abarth? VW GTD? |

Yeah, it's an additional tax you have to pay. Could've just said that :)
Couldn't find an Abarth, but that one doesn't even exist on the official Dutch website of Fiat. Looking at other 500's, those aren't really the type of car I'm looking for. It would be nice to have space for other passengers.
The GTD is really nice, but expensive as (like almost every other VW), plus it's in the 25% range. |

I figured the 500 Abarth would be available in the Netherlands! Obviously I was wrong. It fits 1 other passenger. How many more you need? lol :p
How is the tax determined?!
Oh and I missed the "civic sucks monkeyballs" comment earlier. I am just not big on FWD. I have one right now, but only out of necessity. Otherwise, AWD or RWD only. |

Well some more passengers would be nice, as I'm going to be using it for personal stuff too (going out, football matches, etc.).
The tax is always 25%, unless it is environmentally friendly (due to lower CO2 emissions and the likes). The more friendly, the less %. Or I can choose to drive less than 500km a year for personal use, than I wouldn't have to pay any tax. But that is not going to work out for me.
I haven't driven that many cars before, so I wouldn't know a whole lot about the differences in FWD/AWD/RWD. |

F = Front, A = All, and R = Rear. It basically comes down to the handling characteristics that I prefer. To each their own though.
Ah that makes sense. How is the GTD not environmentally friendly? It is a clean diesel (BlueMotion) vehicle.
