Over 30k for a Corolla, wowzers.
Although the Hybrid hatch is a good option for an economical town runabout.
Also more pics of the dealership than the car itself...tsk tsk tsk...

Are the 320d MHT diesel hybrids in the same BiK as the 330e?

Twice the tax rate of the 330e unfortunately.

If you're having to transport that stuff doesn't that pretty much determine which car you have to get?

Personally I'd ditch my hobbies and get the 330e. My neighbour has one and loves it. A colleague opted in to get the 530e, is that an option?

Roof rack and box?

Towbar and trailer?

Nope, thems the reasons I go to work

There’s no 5-series on the list unfortunately, would be lovely but I don’t think it’s doable on a company car contract.

Would be a perfect outcome, but a dealer fitted one takes it over the budget (£1k!!!!). There’s nowt stopping me putting an aftermarket one on, so long as I don’t have to cut in to the bumper to fit it, so could absolutely be an option!

Would be a good shout on the 3-series, definitely

As someone had previously mentioned, the tax makes it stupidly expensive unfortunately

Of course. I think basically you have to get the X1 and lump it.

One of my workmates had one and although he isn't as tall as you (probably just over 6ft tall) it worked ok for him. He also has a couple of kids and would have been transporting them around.

Really why would you bother with a roof box (would drums even fit in one) when you could just use the car as is? Sometimes you have to compromise and this is one of those times.

Can you contribute to get a 3 series touring ?

Decision made! After much discussion with the finance director, she’s agreed we should sell her car on and get a bigger family car (estate of some sort), so that covers the boat/kit situation and I’ve just ordered myself a spanking new 330e SE Sport in burnt orange - well happy!!

Cheers for the advice chappies, much appreciated
