But no-one need worry, the new 3 Series has positive reviews where ever you look, they have been able to improve on what was already good and have listed to the few moans on the old car and reacted to them.

Examples of improvement start with reducing bodyweight. On average 40kg has been removed from he vehicle, meaning the new 3 Series is a bit more nippy, but also fuel consumption comes down. It may not seem a lot, but reducing Co2 levels to below the 120 g/km on many diesel models, makes ownership much cheaper, not taking into consideration the fuel saving, but on Benefit In Kind Tax savings.

As with all BMW’s the 3 Series  is for driving and this again does not let you down. The new 3 series is just that bit sharper when steering and its controls are simple enough and at hand. One of the moans form the previous cars was lack of read legroom and boot space. Both of these have been improved, if only to match the competition rather than exceed it, but a welcome addition.

The release of the new BMW 3 Series is a big day for the motor industry, but be careful when getting leasing prices, make sure it is based on the new model, as there is still likely to be older models out there being shifted at good prices. You can find BMW 3 Series leasing deals here, just a quick form and a minute or so will get our agents helping you.

Apart from looking smart and likely to attract admiring glances from all and sundry, its compact size and sleek hatchback styling give it excellent manoeuvrability on the road. Alfa Romeo Mito models come with semi-automatic transmission and a very desirable three driving modes feature, accessed through the gear lever. Choose dynamic mode to get that sporty feel with the 1.4 litre turbocharged petrol engine, shooting the car from 0-60 mph in an amazing eight seconds. In normal mode, efficiency and comfort are optimised, with top gear engaged with little or no throttle to provide the best fuel economy. All weather mode increases torque control when accelerating to get the best grip in wet or icy road conditions.

Combined fuel consumption for this model comes in at 46.3 mpg, so expect a lot more out on the open road, particularly if the model has a diesel engine.

The motorist who likes hi-tech gadgets in the cockpit will be pleased with the array of sharply designed dials, switches and buttons. Perhaps most interesting is Microsoft Windows Start on steering wheel. A press on this activates the new Blue&Me entertainment and information system, allowing voice control, hands free use of the mobile phone, paired via Bluetooth and digital music playback via the Mito’s USB port.

The Mito adds class and style to car lease options, a very Italian job.

With no internal combustion engine, the Nissan Leaf does not fit neatly into the standard specification descriptions used by car reviewers, but many of these motor industry critics praise the Leaf for its innovative approach. While the shape of the vehicle is familiar, the styling follows the typical three box format of bonnet, cabin and boot, but the power and ride provided by the engine come from an entirely different source. The battery pack is located under the floor and the instant response of the electric engine provides ample power, though acceleration and top speed will not be of primary concern to the owner. The engine is best charged from a 220V home charging dock and it is claimed that an 80% charge can be achieved in around 30 minutes, which the manufacturer says should give drivers between 70 to 120 miles of motoring, depending on conditions and accessory usage. The main consumers of power will be features such as the air conditioning, stereo and navigation system, which are built into the car. The Leaf provides spacious accommodation for passengers and adequate luggage space.
