Mondeo?

Is the 45ppm for the full 20k or is it inline with HMRC and drops at 10,000 business miles ?

I'd probably look towards a Civic petrol or Mondeo/Vectra although in reality they won't break 40mpg. My 206 1.4 petrol would crack 50mpg on a run but i'm not sure you would want to cover 20k a year in it.

It would have to be a petrol because of the T Charge but you can get some good quality rep mobile for your budget & 40mpg won't be out of sight on the longer runs.

Lexus IS250 (these are smaller so try one for size)

From the above I'd look at the Mondeo then the Mazda & finally the Insignia.

No problem all the above were built to do miles so the reliability shouldn't be an issue.

Have a look at a Honda Accord 2.2 Diesel. 5K will get you one, post 2008. I've done 20k trouble free miles and it is very comfortable, quiet, has good level of kit and is a left field choice, not loads about and seem to get looked after. mine is 'ES-GT' spec and is really rather good. Highly recommended. Toyota Avensis Diesel also worth a punt. With those sort of miles consider an auto - makes traffic situations a breeze. The auto on the Honda is supposed to be excellent, I couldn't find one as rare so have the 6 speed manual.
