This was my first time getting a lease car so I was very unsure of the process , thankfully Sarah was fantastic and helped me through it from my initial enquiry to the delivery of the car. She gave me advice , knowledge of the process and most importantly gave me time at the beginning to think if it’s the right thing to do , this was very important to me and was a bug factor in me going ahead with the purchase. Sarah is fantastic!

When BMW appeared with the 1-Series hatchback, Mercedes-Benzknew it had to do something. So, it replaced its tiny people carrier-looking A-Class with something much more desirable.
The car was transformed into a decent family hatchback that it hoped could complete.
But, in truth, this made it worse.
While it might have made the vehicle more appealing to the masses, the more traditionally shaped five-door A-Class could have been better.
Mercedes-Benz had a second crack at it in 2018 to try and steal the thunder from its German rival and, while doing that, introduced a saloon version.
The latter decision might seem questionable when everyone is ditching hatchbacks, let alone saloons, to lease small SUV crossovers instead.
But, given the company car tax and road tax system is geared around emissions, smaller saloons are growing in popularity again as people forgo larger, less economically friendly ones to maximise savings.
And you won’t get a smaller Mercedes-Benz than an A-Class.
