Audis and VWs are the worst cars ever made and expensive to maintain. If I were you I'd lease a Chevy, Ford, Nissan, Toyota or a Honda if you don't mind their styling. Might be able to find a 2012 Ford Fusion on the cheap since they're going to a re-design for 2013. Same with the Nissan Altima, its redesigned for 2013 so you might get a leftover 2012. Don't get me wrong, I like the new styling of the latest VW Passat, i'd buy one but I know chances are its going to be a turd so its off my list.
I had to find this out from experience. The 1994 Mercury Sable I owned for a short while maintained better than the 2000 VW Beetle and 2003 Audi A4 Quattro Turbo I've owned after the fact. I am thinking of going Honda. I would go Hyundai but they have no deals which compare to Honda at the moment.
The cheapest lease deals that I have seen are $99/ monthj on low-end Nissan Versas. I am not sure that I would recommend them as they seem to wear poorly IMO.
Ideally I want a Hyundai but I doubt I am going to get a no-money-down lease that is A. under $200/month and B. where I need less than 1k at signing. The cheapest no-money-down Honda lease I saw advertised locally in Bergen County was one for a 2012 Civic Sedan. It is $159/month or $169/month.
