Airbag safety concerns prompt massive car recall

Japanese car manufacturers Honda, Mazda, Toyota and Nissan have announced a recall as a result of safety concerns of the airbag systems in some of their cars.

Five incidents have been reported of fragments of metal being propelled towards the driver in the event of airbag deployment. Believed to be due to a manufacturing defect, it could in the worst case scenario have potentially lethal consequences.

The defect is believed to be present on cars produced between 2000 and 2004, so we’re sure there’s few of our car lease customers affected by it, but if you did purchase your car at the end of the lease- you’re advised to get in touch with your local dealer for a free repair.

The New 2013 Mercedes E Class to Lease

Due this April, you’ll soon be able to lease the new 2013 Mercedes E Class!

The New E Class will soon be hitting UK roads, and we can’t wait. It’s built on an already impressive platform- high in specification, safety features, technology and above all class.

New 2013 E Class LeaseNow to be available in just two specification levels, SE and AMG Sport- it’ll be much easier to choose the E Class for your needs. Although just two trim levels, the number of accessories available has increased.

Outwardly, the New E Class sports a significant front end design update, losing the  (perhaps?) much loved bonnet star in favour for a grille mounted logo, consistent with many of the current crop of Mercedes. The twin headlights are now single units, with halogen bulbs as standard along with LED running lights. State of the art LED headlights are available with incredible features such as masking; so they can stay in main beam all the time.

New 2013 E Class InteriorInside, there’s subtle improvements over the outgoing model such as full electric seats and a leather covering on the dashboard, dimensions stay the same; suffice to say it’s roomy as ever.

Mercedes’ engine range is as good as it’s ever been, from economical diesels to driving licence smashing AMG bi-turbo V8′s offering 557bhp. The pick of the bunch for us is the 250CDI twinned with the 7 speed automatic gearbox. Driven respectably, it’s quiet and very efficient but also has enough torque to propel the car to speed quite effortlessly.

Steel suspension is standard, but should more adjustment be required you can opt for air suspension, which also has the ability to be set for comfort or sport modes as demanded by your driving or the road conditions.

The new E Class lease prices are coming through now, and we’ll update our website with them as soon as get them, in the meantime if you’re looking to Lease a 2013 E Class get in touch with us now. Business contract hire and personal contract hire are available for the New E Class.

Also don’t forget, as Mercedes’ look to clear the old stock, there’s some outstanding 2012 E Class Lease deals to be had- check out this lease offer on the Mercedes E250CDI Sport!

Profile of a company lease car driver

What do we drive? Read all about what car and why it was chosen! For this post, Ed and his Mercedes C Class Coupe

What car do you drive?

A Mercedes C180 AMG Sport Edition 125 Coupe

Why did you choose it?

It’s a car that caught my attention from the first press photos released- in fact here’s the photo in question!Mercedes C Class Coupe Leasing

I think it looks fantastic, drives superbly and has all the qualities of the C Class but in a sportier package. Luckily at the time, I was in a position to take advantage of an amazing lease offer on the C Class Coupe so could order one straight away. Better still, it was available in my choice colour of red, it’s identical to the press photo!

What’s it like to drive?

It’s great! We’re in a rural location, and the roads are windy and narrow- the C Class Coupe copes with it admirably, with a tight turn in and loads of grip. Body roll is minimal, it just hangs on to the corners with ease.

Petrol or diesel?

Petrol- I live reasonably close to the office so the extra cost of diesel makes the increased MPG a negligible difference.

Favourite features?

Probably the headlights- they’re bright xenon bulbs, and are “active”- that’s to say they turn with the direction of the car (linked to the steering wheel), you can practically see around corners. They also dim automatically with oncoming traffic and have various other beam settings depending on the driving conditions and speed. The other really clever and useful feature is the speed limit assist- it’s so clever, a camera mounted behind the rear view mirror reads speed limit signs and repeats it in the display behind the steering wheel. It’s especially useful when navigating areas you’re not familiar with when it’s so easy to miss speed limit changes. It’ll give you a gentle reminder if you’re going over the limit so you can adjust accordingly.

Clearly it’s a great car, envious? We have fantastic lease offers on the Mercedes C Class Coupe- just get in touch with our team to discuss your requirements and place an order, you can then drive this beautiful Mercedes!

Choosing Your Car Lease Profile

At Skyfleet Car Leasing, you can customise your Vehicle Lease Profiles to suit your individual needs!

Many of the offers on our website are 3 year leases. We select these as generally, 3 year leases are the best value for money; occasionally 2 year leasing may be cheaper so we always try to reflect the best offers accordingly. It doesn’t mean you can’t choose your term, however! For example, if the car you’re choosing is your dream car and you’d like to lease it for 4 years, no problem! Just ask us to quote you accordingly. Usually, the longer the lease term; the cheaper the rental will be.

Any contract hire agreement has an initial payment, usually this is 3 times the monthly payment. Some special offers will have a slightly higher first payment- perhaps 6 payments in advance. The higher the initial payment- the cheaper your monthly rental will be. At the the end of the contract, the total payable will be more-or-less the same, whichever you choose.

Our car leasing offers are available to be tailored to suit the right lease profile for you- perhaps you’ve had a windfall of cash and wish to reduce the monthly Direct Debit by making a higher initial payment? No problem! Conversely if cashflow is a little tight right now, ask us when getting your quotations for a smaller first payment.

Whatever your requirements, Skyfleet Car Leasing can tailor the profile of your lease to suit. Whether that’s the term, first payment, mileage or whether maintenance is included or not- we can almost certainly help. Just give our friendly team a call on 01233 730260, or browse our current car lease offers!
