Sinclair Finance & Leasing

SFL Marketing Goes Mobile !

At Sinclair Finance and Leasing we have decided to add a selection of courtesy cars into our fleet to cater for customers that may need a temporary car whilst theirs undergoes a service.

The first of which has a newly designed livery. All be it one of the smaller options of vehicle, a Smart car we think it looks the part.

Sinclair Finance and Leasing and our sister company Sinclair Direct will have new designs applied to the remaining vehicles in the near future, but keep an eye out for first edition which is now officially mobile throughout South Wales.

Below are a few preview images (We hope you like our design)

VW Polo GTI Review

Volkswagen UK has announced that the new Polo GTI is now open for ordering. Customer deliveries are expected to begin in early July.

 

Promised to be the fastest, most responsive and cleanest hot hatch yet, the polo seems to fair well against its closest rivals of the Renault Clio sport and the Seat Ibiza Cupra.

 

Performance figures are impressive with an output of 178bhp at 6,200rpm and 184lbs ft of torque from 2,000rpm. These figures get the Polo GTI to 62 mph in just 6.9 seconds and keep it going until it reaches its top speed of 148mph.

A Whole New Concept By Mini

The New mini Countryman is the fourth edition of the mini range, it is the first generation of mini to have 4 wheel drive as an option as well as having four fully functional passenger doors for improved access.

 

Mini describes the countryman as a cross-over due to the ‘All 4’ four wheel drive system being an option and not a standard feature. The ‘All 4’ system is designed to work as a 4x4 but does not work in the same way as the systems incorporated into its rival models. The mini’s system spreads the power ratio 50% to the front and 50% to the back for everyday driving with a transfer of 100% power to the rear if needed.

 

 

Mini have put a range of power plants into the countryman ranging from the entry level Mini One D with 89Bhp through to the Cooper S countryman with 181Bhp. All models will be coupled with a 6 speed gearbox as standard but petrol models will have the additional option of a 6 speed automatic with BMW’s steptronic system.
