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 Rafale name will mean quite a lot to aviation lovers, whether it’s used for the Dassault Rafale fighter jet or the Renault-engined Caudron racers of the 1930s, but now Renault hopes it will become a household name among motorists. The new Rafale is a larger, coupe-shaped take on the Austral family SUV, but one with some slightly more premium aspirations, which put it in the firing line of some pretty big players.
Yes, Renault wants this to be seen as a rival to the Audi Q5 Sportback, the BMW X4 and even the Range Rover Evoque, but the French company has given it a comparatively low list price with which it hopes to entice customers away. Will it work for those looking to lease, and will the Rafale have what it takes to shoot down the premium aces?
