Morning,

Will be moving to car allowance in March/April and after working out the maths (ish) I've got around £30k to spend on. Only requirements are;

No older than 5 years old
Must have 4/5 doors
No more than 140k miles

The age part is subjective as the car can be 5 years old but must be gone before its 6th birthday (I know this makes no sense) and the doors part relates to it being suitable for work use...

Current ideas were something like an Audi S5 sportback or a C43.

Currently have a 320d which was fine as mileage was 30k per year but as with everyone else I'm working from home now so taking the allowance definitely adds up and I also want something a bit more fun.

Keen to hear any thoughts and ideas.

Kia Stinger 3.3 GTS - 5 doors, quick, fun(ish), fully loaded as standard, built properly, 7 year warranty and they all came in under the luxury car tax limit so annual car tax is sensible.
