Because of a life so far of pretty rubbish personal financial management (multiple business ideas invested in, hopefully one will work one day - just not so far), I now have car needs beyond my means. I need to buy/hire/use a car under 5 years old (company fuel cards rule, has to be this 'young'). I can't afford to buy one outright and can afford about £150/month. The wife's at home with the 3 kids, one income, a few debts, that's about the most we can spend for the single family car. As the company pay for fuel petrol is fine and up to 2.5L is OK. The car will do fairly big mileage so needs to be quiet and comfy and accommodate a 5 person family (kids are small, under 5 all of em).

Realistically - Peuguot 607 perhaps, 2007 ish, with a loan.
Dreaming - RS4/RS6 Avant
Maybe - Saab 9-3

Any ideas most welcomed, thanks.

I'm not at all bothered about image btw, anything, however quirky. Indeed the means of driving a car are not limited to owning one, car manufacturers need to test the longevity of your new car...count me in, I do a lot of miles!
