We live in an age where everything we own can track us so we shouldn’t be surprised that our cars can too, says Mike Rutherford
I recently had dinner with the understandably twitchy sales boss at a German car firm whose registrations are, like his annual bonus, desperately down. The poor soul confided that his stressful work life is now tougher than ever – not least because of the cheap-as-chips leasing rates arch-rival, Mercedes, is daring to offer on some of its modest models.

In short, my man argues that they’re unreasonably low. But he would say that, wouldn’t he? Because he and his company struggle to match them with their equivalent models. A Mercedes A-Class at around £2,000 a year, £170 a month, £39 per week is ridiculously cheap, he insisted. And he’s not wrong.
