Leasing a small car is usually as a result of a couple of requirements. You either really like that small car be it a Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsa or it relates to your budget. Smaller cars are inevitably some of the cheapest on the market. Also the smaller engines tend to mean low P11D values and CO2 too, so you can reduce your company tax and impact on the environment.
So if you’re looking for a cheap leasing deal on a small car what could you consider? Nissan Pixo and Suzuki Alto, both built on the same platform can be leased for as little as £120 to £130 plus VAT on a 3 year deal. If you have a bigger deposit you could easily get this to below £100 too. If a 1.0 litre car is too small then the 1.2 to 1.4 sector is equally well priced with Seat Ibiza leases and Mazda2 starting from as little as £149 plus VAT. The ever popular Ford Fiesta can even be snapped up from circa £160 to £200.
So why not lease a small car today? Save money, Save the planet and save fuel.

First of all a Happy New Year to everyone and as we embark on 2010 we wonder what sort of deals will be most prominent in 2010. Last year saw the motor manufacturers trim back on production which means two things for the leasing industry; longer lead times and less of the insane stock clearance offers. Ok this means there may not be as many super cheap offers allowing customers to get cars outside of their ordinary budgets but the positive side of things is that car leasing deals will become more consistent.
The other important factor to consider is the demise of the scrappage scheme. This will see less in the way of 10 year old cars taking over the small car stock meaning that we will see more small car deals than last year. Our hot tips for small cars would certainly be Seat Ibiza leases, Suzuki Alto and Renault Clio.
If you’re looking a mid-sized car then Renault Megane and Vauxhall Astra are certain to figure highly with some great sub £200 offers that mean leasing a Vauxhall or Renault could be good news still in 2010. Our top tip for a larger family car would still be the Mazda6, consistently priced due to strong residual values from £259 to £289 plus VAT month, this is likely to be the case through 2010.
At the premium prestige end of the market expect to see some changes, Mercedes resolved stock issues last year so it’s likely Mercedes leases will increase by circa £30 per month. BMW await the the 5 series but BMW 3 series lease deals should also prominent. Audi will continue from strength to strength the only downside being extended lead times of up to 3 months!
All in all it’s set’s to be a simple year with consistent pricing and some great car leasing deals. Why not make 123 Car Leasing your contract hire provider in 2010?
We’ve all experienced the traffic halting, bumper cracking, tyre spinning effect the snow and ice has on our cars and vans. Put simply the UK is not geared up for snowfall and our cars unlike some of our European counterparts are designed for warm roads, that are straight, wide and not perilous… well too much.
The answer is the 4×4, viewed by some as a green issue in their own right, viewed by some as a safe family car, viewed by others as a practical means of all-terrain travel and in these snow laden times, the 4×4 really comes in to itself with more stability, traction, better suspension, ground clearance and big wheels to crunch snow and ice as if it wasn’t even there.
4×4’s though aren’t about luxury travel with Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover Sports as well as BMW and Audi equivalents. There are now a range of alternative options from all manufacturers. Kia produce a great range of of 4×4’s including the Sportage and Sorento. Skoda now has the Skoda Yeti starting at around £14000 and Volkswagen have produced the mid sized Tiguan as a smaller alternative to the Touareg.

Whether you choose to buy or lease a 4×4 there is plenty of choice out there for all budgets meaning you don’t need to get caught short on the arctic roads of Great Britain!
