I would like to keep the miles on my WRX down so would like the views of the 'wise' of PH.

It's looking good for a new job but with no company car and I will be doing a round trip of about 55 miles a day - 99% M23/M25.

I know I should use the cars we have (WRX/CLK and XC90) but I have a view of say:

A 1500 quid car that I throw away say every 2 years and replace or a 5000 quid car that would need to last say 4 to 5 years.

It would not be used for anything other than work so must be cheap to run etc.

I was thinking for the 1500 option say a Rover 25 etc or the 5000 option a Focus.

Thinking Diesel

Anyone got a view????
