How to convince the wife..

[Frog Dog]

That a V reg Accord Type R is a better bet for a daily driver than my current company car (new Megane Coupe 1.5dci)?

So far I've got...

5 doors
No company car tax.


Er. I can't think of anything else that's a positive Tbh

It's not French?

^^^^This,
Honda's are bomb proof, jap reliability against french shoddiness!

[Frog Dog]

Reliability is a bit of a misconception about modern French stuff (it is brand new) and as its a company car it doesn't bother me in the slightest Tbh.

If the Honda died, it'd be my problem though!

Err no it's not!

We have the contract for certain French manufacturers and believe me when I say they keep us very busy.

Why do you need to justify what car you drive to your wife?

Exactly. Where is your testicular fortitude?

My dad had 2 as company cars one after the other 160k miles between them and they were great, get one!

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission...

Do with that what you will

Do you have a wife? They do sometimes unfortunately have an opinion.

My own tactic would be to look at something more expensive and impractical, an old Caterham, old Merc with the plan to compromise...

Its all about tactics
