The first thing to note, is you will never own the car – you are effectively renting it from the dealer for a fixed period of 2-4 years. Although you are not affected by the decreasing residual value as if you were to buy the car, it is used to calculate the monthly value of your lease. Certain cars hold their value better than others, so we’ve put together a mini review of various makes and models in order to help you decided which lease deal is best for you.

Leasing an Audi

Most stockists will be able to lease you up-to-date models. First off there is the varied A3 range which blends an adventurous sense of judgement with outstanding design. The array of A4s comprises of the 4-door saloon, the spacious Avant, and the stylish and sporty Cabriolet. The recently launched A5 is also one to watch out for. If you are looking for something a little more snappy and sporty the TT Coupe and TT Roadster are renowned for their cool design and top notch performance.

Leasing a BMW

Most car leasers will be able to offer a wide range of BMWs from their extensive collection, from the 1 Series (5-door hatch-back), to the 7 Series 730d Sport. The 3 Series includes 320i and 325i 2-door coupes, the 335i 3.0 litre Touring and the 325i Convertible. The 5 Series BMW cars include 520d 4-door and 5-door saloons for fashion and comfortableness, or if you prefer to cruise the open roads in the sun, look at the Z4 Roadster.

Mercedes Car Leasing

Whichever class you choose from, you cannot go wrong where a Mercedes is concerned. All tastes and budgets are covered starting with the A Class 5 door hatch and the CLS Class Couple. Up from this you should consider the sports tourer, Coupes and Estates from the B Class. Next up you could try the C Class saloons or for the traditional style and performance try the E Class. The top of the range sees the R Class and high spec SLK Roadster – with Mercedes you really are spoilt for choice.

Lease a Volkswagen

The large selection from VW cars includes the old favourites Polo, Beetle and lesser known Caravelle – all offer excellent driving experiences and top notch refinement. Did you know the Golf hatch is now available as an estate? Onto the larger cars and you can’t go wrong with a Passat or Jetta and for the larger familles there are the 7 seater Touran and Sharan. Finally, for a fine example of VW build quality, you cannot go wrong with the EOS.
