New company car

[didelydoo]

Afternoon all, I'm due a new company car next month so am looking for suggestions. Currently have a 2.0TDI Golf (surprise...) and will be likely be getting something within ~£5000 equivalent price. Not doing a massive milage, though diesel is the likely option. Also, I have two kids so need 4 doors.

I've had a look about but nothing jumps out.

Suggestions welcome.

Alfa, don't go down the 116d or A3/A4 route, everyone has them, try this:

I would have a look at the new Giulietta. Very impressive CO2 figures, some interesting engines to choose from and some great reviews in the press.

I took the insignia 160 bhp with sat nav, very nice , comfy massive boot rear visibility a bit poor but quite good, as fast as the Mondeo ST TDci I had before.

looks lovely, but you missed the "two kids 4 doors" part.

so he needs the 156

Rick, he said 5k bracket, so I'd guess second hand, that would rule out the Guilletta.

Zes, I read it to be within the Golf price range +/- £5000.

Oh, is it a "5k/year" kind of thing? Sorry, we don't calculate like that over here.

My bad .

Are you simple? It's within £5k of the Golf's price. If a Golf costs £20k, his new car can cost between £15k and £25k.

If it has to be diesel, I'd take a 320d please.

Sorry, english isn't my first language and I misinterpreted the OP.
If that makes me simple, then I guess I am.

Thanks for clarifying tough.
I'd defo look at the Guilietta, looks ace inside & out, don't know how it drives yet tough...

It might be more a matter of what you can get hold of - a lot of cars are on 12-16 week delivery times now, and we're just about to get into the summer shutdown time.

Land Rover Defender. Would be different, fun and the kids would love it.

But only in M Sport guise.

Alpina D3?

I suppose it depends if you can have a Sytner group car as your company car (leaseplan only deal with Snows, for example, for my company)

Mmmm, maybe. The M Sport certainly looks better to most, but it's fundamentally a good chassis underneath so SE spec will still be a nice handling car.

If the car is being used predominantly for charging up and down motorways I'd go for the comfort option and save myself a few quid into the bargain.

Cheers for the replies gents.

Delivery time won't be a problem, I can wait and am not in a massive hurry. The Boss is also flexible.

Might look into the Alfa's.
