Jon was excellent throughout the process, and really worked hard for me. There was a small price discrepancy, as the “in stock deal” on the website only indicated the price for a base model without any additional options, which was not actually possible to order - which I felt was a little misleading. However, Jon worked up a deal I was happy with, and communicated very well throughout the process - including following up with some issues after delivery. I will definitely use again.

Audi A3 Saloon
The Audi A3 Saloon is a sleek sibling to the A3 Sportback hatchback - with both cars among the most desirable on the UK leasing market today. The affordable A3 Saloon features a large 425-litre boot, which trumps the luggage capacity on offer with the A3 Sportback. And with the A3 Saloon having enjoyed a facelift in 2024, it remains a key rival to lease cars like the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe.

Audi A3 Saloon review
If you had seen an Audi on the road in the late 20th century, the chances are it would have been a saloon, which dominated its range for a time.
Estate cars have also been prominent in recent decades, and, of course, the surging popularity of SUVs means you can ride high in an Audi of just about any size today.
The SUV trend means that the popularity of the traditional family hatchback and saloon is diminishing. So, it was somewhat of a surprise when Audi took the former - a hatchback - and made it into the latter - a saloon.
The first-generation Audi A3 was first unveiled as a three-door hatch in 1995, before a five-door version, called the Sportback, was introduced in 2004, derived from the second-generation model.
However, when the third-generation model kicked in during 2012, Audi unveiled a saloon version, which debuted the next year, followed by a cabriolet in 2014.
The current fourth-generation A3 was ushered in during 2020, but only features the five-door ‘Sportback’ and the saloon.
Now it's had a facelift.
Does that bring it back to the front regarding the tiniest executive saloons?
We will see if we can find out.

Yeh, good service a bit of headache filling forms couple of times but turn around was very good and with the maintenance cover it’s peace of mind.
What's great: I'm now driving a lovely Lexus at a far more affordable price than I could find elsewhere. My contract includes a full maintenance deal which isn't always available with other providers. The sales process and arranging the finance was a good experience, with lots of support from Dave. Thanks Dave! BUT ... Once the contract had been agreed, communication was terrible. I was told that I would get access to the portal (which is the only way to track progress) 'shortly': it took 2 weeks and multiple phone calls and emails (initiated by me)to gain access. Promises to phone me back were not met. In the end, Dave sorted it out. Thanks Dave. The portal looked promising as it appeared that I could track my car's journey from the factory in Japan to delivery. However, apart from me uploading identity documents to it (not acknowledged until I got in contact), the portal did not change except to put my expected delivery date back a month (no explanation). Then out of the blue, the Lexus dealership phoned me to say that my car was ready for collection. This was surprising as the portal located the car in Japan, and gave me a bit of a dilemma as I needed to get rid of my current car at very short notice (anyone looking for an Audi Q2?). Nothing from Select Car until I contacted them to say where the car was. Their failure to contact me was apparently the Lexus dealership's fault in some way ... which I find hard to believe to be honest. I made the decision to collect the car rather than have it delivered, in order to get a proper dealership handover, which I was told was fine. Only nothing happened until I phoned Select Car and was told that I had to arrange collection directly with the dealer. That was news to me, but I did it, and was then sent regular emails informing me that my car was due to be delivered to my house on that date. A few more phone calls followed to sort that out ... Maybe I just had a poor experience. Maybe if you go for a car that is in stock rather than a factory order the process might be smoother. At the end of the day, I did get my car at a good price and within the original time frame, so on reflection I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. But it was a frustrating journey which some joined-up communications at Select Car would have made a happier overall experience.
