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.

Why lease a DS?
DS lease vehicles have already made a significant impact thanks to their unique and stylish designs and their ever-growing range of models are only serving to enhance this.
With DS forming in only 2009, its impressive that the manufacturer has already produced one of the most popular hatchbacks of the last few years. Taking a DS3 lease means getting a car with a lot of exciting and modern features and a sleek, sporty design - now available in crossover form with an all-electric option in the form of the DS3 Crossback E-Tense.
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.
DS Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re the sort of motorist who likes to think outside the box, and who isn’t afraid to deviate from the norm, then a DS lease could be just the thing for you. Because while leasing a DS car will bring you all the cutting edge tech and sophisticated styling you’d expect from a modern vehicle, the French firm has a unique approach that makes its vehicles truly unique in the UK marketplace. Up until 2015, DS was a sub-brand of parent firm Citroen before going it alone as a standalone entity. DS leasing means luxurious, executive vehicles that stand out from a crowd. And DS is also one of the industry trailblazers for plug-in hybrid and fully-electric powertrains, as it bids to become a 100% electric brand by 2024.
The DS 4 is a compact hatchback with an abundance of style and power of up to 225 hp, while the sumptuous DS 9 is a luxury saloon to rival the very best offerings from German manufacturers. A DS lease also unlocks a host of plug-in hybrid and fully-electric powertrain options. The plug-in hybrid DS 7 Crossback e-Tense will cruise for up to 46 miles using electricity alone, while the all-electric DS 3 Crossback e-Tense has a range of up to 206 miles on a single charge.
DS lease cars have a great safety record with the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), the safety test that acts as the industry benchmark.
The entry-level DS 4, for example, comes loaded with the DS ‘Drive Assist’ system, which includes automatic braking, adaptive cruise control and a driver attention alert.
The DS 3 hatchback is the most affordable car in the range to lease, while the DS 3 Crossback - which has more SUV-type styling - will also help you to keep your monthly leasing costs down. The DS 3 Crossback has power of up to 155 hp, sharp styling, and a practical 350 litre boot.
When you lease a DS, as opposed to buying one outright, you immediately dodge the huge depreciation costs associated with purchasing new, and you also have the peace of mind that comes with fixed monthly leasing costs, having your breakdown cover included, and your road tax paid for. Meanwhile there’s a DS to suit all budgets, from the competitively-priced DS 3 Crossback through to the premium DS 7 Crossback luxury SUV and the plug-in hybrid DS 9 E-Tense.
French manufacturer DS will count competitors such as BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Alfa Romeo, and Volkswagen as key rivals.
A larger cousin is also available, with the seven-seat DS7 offering more space and improved luxury, while the DS7 Crossback E-Tense offers a zero-emission, all-electric large SUV alternative.
