Hi all

I have a £30k budget to go out and purchase a company car but I'm struggling to see past the usual A4, 320d or C220d.

It must be under 130g CO2 and under 1 year old.

Any better ideas? Automatic preferred.

Thanks, in desperate need of some inspiration!

Anyone driven the S90 (or new XC60)?

What are your requirements? And is it company car for BIK or a car allowance.

I was in similar situation, needed a saloon which was reasonable. Went for the a4 "ultra" which is 99g c02 and cheap as chips on bik. Didn't add a single option to it apart from changing the wheels to a different style but still 17's

Never regretted it once, reasonable base spec and so so cheap on BIK compared to similar cars.

Not quick, but a reasonable turn of pace for general motorway miles, and enough space for a 3 person family
I'm between the Jag XE R Line auto and the A4 S line s-tronic.

I'm putting the purchase through the business so need to be under 130g CO2 for corporation tax purposes. Otherwise anything under £30k is potential!

Thanks everyone.

I test drove a few cars - c220d AMG line, 320d m sport, 120d m sport, XE r sport and I preferred the A4 to all of them.

I've bought an A4 S Line S Tronic. Seems like a good piece of kit to pile the miles on and I got a great deal on the 17 plate demonstrator 😀
