If you’re accustomed to thinking of the Civic as a worthy but rather dull specimen, it’s time to think again. The redesigned, relaunched Civic is a style stunner and an excellent all-rounder. The new look makes a radical and classy break with the old: this car really turns heads for all the right reasons. With an intelligently designed ergonomic cabin, you’ll feel indulged with space, even though every cubic centimetre has been carefully calculated.

The 1.4 litre petrol model is agreeable but not especially exciting; the larger petrol, however, is much more impressive, with a snarling, thrusting i-VTEC to boost your enthusiasm. And the 2.2 diesel easily outdoes its petrol counterpart in performance. All models have an impressive, high-quality sturdiness about them and are pleasingly responsive on the road.

On a practical note, the passenger space is impressively generous and, for a car of its size, the boot space is huge – easily 100 litres greater than either the Vauxhall Astra or the VW Golf. The one drawback is the restricted headspace for rear-seat passengers due to the sloping curve of the roof; but the car looks ravishing and this is hardly a major defect. Honda has a well-deserved reputation for high quality and solid reliability, and the new Civic looks set to more than honour this. It’s relatively cheap to insure, too.

Nissan offers the X-Trail Station Wagon 2.0 dci trek 5dr for lease. X-Trail was Nissan’s first 4X4 car fitted with ALL MODE 4×4-i. This integrated system can anticipate when you’ll need additional traction control. Upon turning the switch to automatic mode from 2WD, the X-Trail will automatically analyse the terrain and determine the optimum settings for torque on every wheel.

The standard features of the X-Trail include alloy wheels, climate control, metallic paint, electric windows, air conditioning, electric mirrors, CD player, Bluetooth, and anti-lock braking system.

The X-Trail is equipped more for passenger comfort than for driving delight, with suspension that gives a comfortable ride on any surface, but still permits a fair level of lean through corners. There is also a decent grip and well-weighted steering. All models have a selectable four-wheel-drive system, and the top two trims highlight the hill-start and hill-descent systems.

Drivers will be very comfortable in the X-Trail and the steering is adjustable to whatever position most suits the driver. The driver’s seat is also very supportive and has a good height adjustment setting. Moreover, the driving view is very clear and you can choose to have a rear view camera for a minimal additional cost.

The X-Trail is available in three specs: Sport, Trek and Aventura. All are well kitted but the driver of a sport trim model can get stability control, plus an upgraded four-wheel-drive system. The Aventura features leather seats with an electric driver’s seat adjustment. The X-Trail can be leased for £249 per month after a three-month initial payment.

The quality of the X-Trail is really impressive and just like all Nissan vehicles — the X-trail won’t let you down.

Honda cars have been known throughout the industry as cars that can deliver exceptional driving performance under variable road conditions. Aside from its dependable driving features, Honda cars also have a very modern and stylish appearance. As new Honda cars surface into the market, many car-lovers are keen to try out how well this car works. So, through various corporate links it has with other car leasing firms, Honda is able to offer everyone the chance to drive a Honda, through a Honda leasing deal. This is probably most ideal, especially in the current, adverse economic conditions.

As observed, conventional cars are the most demanded class in the market, due to their multi-faceted features. The Honda Jazz has been one of the biggest car brands throughout this past decade. Due to its market popularity, car leasing businesses consider the Honda Jazz as a car that can generate enough car leasing followings. With innovative driving performance and design aspects, the Honda Jazz is made to suit every modern person’s mobility needs.

In the initial leasing phase, leasing customers must pay the initial amount, which is equivalent to 6 monthly instalments. After that, they have all the rights to use the car, which will be rented under a 24 or 36-month instalment scheme. Usually, monthly instalment values are comprised of the total car lease amount, interest, and value added tax components. A car leasing firm pegs the monthly leasing instalment value of the Honda Jazz at £165/month for a 36 month business lease type. As for personal lease type, a Jazz is valued at £191/month.

Nissan Pixo
Renault Megane Sport Tourer
Lexus RX
Renault Scenic/Grand Scenic
Toyota Verso
Volkswagen Polo

Brief summary with each car

Ferrari California Open Top
Comes with a folding metal roof a coupe and a convertible. It does have 4 seats or what Ferrari call a 2 plus 2, but it’s cramped it the back so just use it as a 2 seater. Expect the optional extra list to be fully loaded and the car basic

Citroën C3 Picasso
Not a very pretty Citroen a high estimated release price at £10.5k. The best looking bit of the C3 is the Alloys.

Nissan Pixo
Bigger than the Micra but smaller than the Nissan note. Collaboration between Suzuki and Nissan, so expect it to be based on the Suzuki Alto.

Renault Megane Sport Tourer

Estate version of Renaults popular Megane, Expect it to be a big seller

Lexus RX
Updated version of the old RX but it wasn’t a great seller. The new Lexus RX will come with an electric motor, is this Lexus’s idea to try and make it green and a good seller

Renault Scenic/Grand Scenic
Looks cheapish and mass produced expected to cost £16,750. maybe try looking at a VW Touran

Toyota Verso
Updated version of the current Verso that is a seven seater MPV

Volkswagen Polo

This will be a big seller for VW a very sharp looking polo front headlights look similar to the New Golf’s

Yes you guessed it the clue about the new features is in the name, the new G-Wiz features a Lithium-ion battery compared to the older models that used a lead acid battery. The new Lithium-ion battery will also bring some new beneficial gains to the G-Wiz driver which includes a range of 75 mile over the old 45 mile range, charging time is cut by 2 hours to a 6 hour charge, and the car will also be lighter than the older mode, and it will come with a 3 year warranty.

You might be persuaded to stick with the older model when we reveal the price which is £15,795 compared to the original G-Wiz which will only cost you £7995.

Owners of a G-wiz don’t fear though you can have the option of upgrading to the new Lithium-ion battery but no costs have been released yet.

Reva G-Wiz

8 new Cars set to be released in April 2009, so will there be one that will tempt you to go out and buy a new 09 plate car.

Honda Insight
Saab 9-3X
Seat Exo Sport Tourer
Seat Exeo
Toyota iQ
Toyota Urban Cruiser
Peugeot 308CC
Suzuki Alto Hatchback

And here is a break down on each model

Honda Insight

Honda’s rival for the Toyota Prius which has a big celebrity following over in the States with the likes of Cameron Diaz, Harrison Ford, Jeff Goldblum and Leonardo DiCaprio all owning one. Expect to pay around £15,000 for the base model.

Saab 9-3X

It looks rather like the older Volvo V70 Cross Country, but a lot sharper and meaner looking at the front your starting price is £28,000 for this Saab Estate. The 9-3 X really does look like its been “Designed to Perform” like Saab Say.

Seat Exo Sport Tourer

The Seat doesn’t really cut it in the looks department but since Seat have used the old Audi A4 Advant as a starting point this is sure to be a great car. Coming with 3 powerful 2.0 litre engine the most powerful been a 196BHP turbocharged petrol engine don’t expect this Seat to be caught in the slow lane.

Seat Exeo

A saloon version of the above Seat Exo Sport Tourer based again on the Audi A4 but not as good looking but it is going to be a good base for a reliable family car.

Toyota iQ

Very small supermini classed car and it looks like a baby sister for the Toyota Aygo starting at £8,000. Ideal small city car to get you from A to B.

Toyota Urban Cruiser

Think of that Suzuki S4 that’s a cross between their super hatchback that is the Swift but also wants to be 4×4, and that’s your Toyota Urban Cruiser

Peugeot 308CC

A really stylish 4 seater soft top starting at £18,500 which includes a metal folding top. This has to be worth a look if your after a cheap convertible.

Suzuki Alto Hatchback

Looks like a cross between a Fiat 500 and a Nissan Micra. Will it be as good as the Suzuki Swift which is greatly underestimated.

In posts to come we’ll be covering all of the ways that you can finance or lease a car and suggesting the best solutions for your circumstances.
