VW Amorak, owners opinions?

I've got a 2 day test drive in one next week. 180bhp 8 speed auto. It's a limited edition although I would be getting a highline.

I've got to decide if one is viable as a company car doing 25k miles a year? I know it will be great for everything else I do camping, mountain biking, allotmenting but will that be enough to offset the presumed compromises of its main use?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Cheers mate.

I think size may be one of the issues!

Yeah I have a fuel card!

Wondered about the Multi function steering wheel, phone connectivity is important.

2 day test drive booked for Monday / Tuesday next week. Then I'm test driving a Merc 220CDI AMG premium spec estate on Wednesday! That should put the "can I live with a pick-up" theory to the test!

Just spent 2 days in a dark label limited edition auto. Really enjoyed it, great on the motorway, good ride, and fast enough. Only downside was it was quite rough sounding when accelerating but very quiet when at a constant speed.

However when I took it back today I got a business lease quote. For a highline with nav, phone prep, load liner and hardtop, 28k per year, over 3 years they wanted £575 a month! For reference a 320d msport auto estate with nav and privacy glass same mileage and term it's £466. Don't think I will be able to make my MD swallow that!

Interesting situation regarding the VAT, it may be back in the game!

Due to the dealer messing up I now have the "normal" vehicles to test drive next week.
