Starting a new job and I didn't think of company car tax!

Boss has confirmed 8k to spend for a car in my training 2 year period. He is absorbing all running costs including insurance and personal milage. Overall milage will be 30k a year.

I am looking at a 1.6 driveE engine v50. Seem very frugal and it looks like it will only cost me £45 a month.

Does any one own one of these and have any feedback? My understanding is the driveE is the economy plus version but may have less sound deadening to cut weight? I am normally one to stick in the slow lane at 70 and rarely venture far right, but road noise does get on my goat.
