Superminis and city cars are the kind of cars that are small and compact, plenty of fun to drive, and wont blow a hole in your finances. In the ContractHireAndLeasing.com Awards the Supermini/City Car category saw an excellent selection of models from a diverse range of leasing companies vying for the top spot, with Suzuki Swifts alongside Smart ForTwos and the Fiat Grande Punto rubbing shoulders with the Vauxhall Corsa, but there could only be one winner.
The Smart ForTwo is one of the smallest cars on the road and has been a huge success since it first appeared back in the late 1990s. Now in its second generation the car continues to be the benchmark for the ultra small car lover.
After much deliberation Cars2Vans.com Limited walked away with the accolade with a fantastic contract hire deal for the Smart ForTwo. Available on ContractHireAndLeasing.com throughout the year, during the second quarter of 2008 the company had sold its entire allocation of ForTwos two months early such was the demand for the deal.
The deal structure offered the ultra-small Pure variant of the car at a tiny £77 per month, based on a 3+23 10,000 miles per annum on a contract hire deal.
Steeve Hobbs, Director at the Salford-based business said:
“We are delighted to be awarded the best supermini deal of 2008 for the Smart ForTwo Pure. We advertised the deal on ContractHireAndLeasing.com throughout the year and had a tremendous response in terms of enquiries and sales. In fact this particular deal accounted for nearly one in nine of our sales in 2008 and you will find Cars2vans offering fantastic deals on Smart cars during 2009.”
Richard Lawton, Marketing Manager at Really Good Domains added:
“The supermini and city cars are becoming ever more popular with people looking for a car that is fun to drive and feels more luxurious than what you would expect. We felt the Cars2Vans.com offering was particularly eye catching with a monthly payment almost as tiny as the car itself.”
The runner-up for the best deal award also had an exceptional deal on a Smart ForTwo. This was advertised on ContractHireAndLeasing.com by Stockport-based car leasing specialists DSG Auto Contracts, and was available for a lowly £89 per month on a 3+23 10,000 miles per annum contract hire basis.
