In the month of soggy socks, pumpkin-spiced everything, and roads carpeted in leaves, here’s the good news: Summit Drive has in-stock cars, ready for delivery.
So, while the weather’s falling apart, your car situation doesn’t have to. Our October car lease deals are all treats and no tricks.
Ford Focus
Why it’s a strong car lease choice for October:
- The mild-hybrid tech helps when you’re crawling in traffic behind drivers fearful of raindrops on their windscreen. Less petrol burns when trudging along. That’s a win.
- Manual + 125 bhp gives you enough punch to pull out of skid-prone spots and enough power to do damp overtakes on dual carriageways.
- The ST-Line styling isn’t just for show, you know. Those larger alloys and body kit features (spoilers, grilles etc.) help when things are slippery and the wind's blowing.
- At ~119 g/km CO₂, it's no ultra-green machine but better than many older petrol or diesel alternatives. Lower tax and lower running costs matter when the heaters and defrosters are cranked up.
Alfa Romeo Junior
Why it’s a strong car lease choice for October:
- Automatic driving can help in wet, slippery conditions as there’s less faffing with clutch and less chance of wheel spin from standing starts on leaf-slick roads.
- Hybrid tech helps short with those short trips where you wou;d’ve walked if it wasn’t pouring down. Although you may be out more frequently, at least it’s not all at the cost of fuel.
- Elevated ride height gives better visibility through fog, heavy rain, and early dusk. You’ll want that when the weather's as unpredictable as a VAR decision on a Saturday afternoon.
- Italian design is an immediate style bonus point. If you’re going to be going out in bleak weather, you might as well do it looking good.
Volkswagen Tiguan
