...Company Demonstrator...or cheap fun runabout?

Ok, i work at a new car dealership, so am entitled to a new company demonstrator every 6 month.
As nice as it is having a brand new car twice a year, im hankering after something cheap and fun that i can call my own. Unfortunately i don't have the space for both.

My budget isnt massive so id be looking at something like an MX-5, under 2k.

What are your thoughts? Do i stick with a company car till i have the cashflow to be able to have a Demo and a Caterham in the garage (which is the longterm plan) or do i hand the demo back and enjoy having my own car again, with the addition of a bit of top down, tail happy fun?

Are there any major tax implications as a company car? Mileage restrictions? Usage?

If not, I'd have a year in new cars and go from there.
