First time for car leasing and looking back at the process, everything went smoothly. Quite a lot of paperwork to sign before getting a delivery date but i suppose it’s all part of the course. David Harding was very helpful from start to finish and helped me with all the questions that i had. I can’t speak highly enough of David. The car was delivered by a very helpful and pleasant man ( Jim ) , who showed me all that i needed to know about the car. I would recommend select car leasing for all aspects and i have no negatives .

The Tonale is a very important car for Alfa Romeo.
That might seem odd to say, given it's so out of kilter with just about anything it has built before.
But, with the rise of the small SUV still skyrocketing, the Italian manufacturer is predicting that the Tonale will become its most popular car before too long.
The last time we reviewed the Tonale, it wasn't available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain - but it is now. And Alfa is expecting half of the Tonale’s sales to be the PHEV variant that we’ve got our hands on today.
So, the stakes appear to be relatively high.
And, of course, the Italians are known for their passionate love of cars and fashion, with some manufacturers boasting an army of die-hard fans.
Will they accept this new direction?
Mind you, both Italian heavyweights Lamborghini and Ferrari have launched SUVs in recent years in the form of the Urus and the Purosangue, respectively.
So, if they can get away with it, surely Alfa Romeo can, too?
