Another boring what car thread.

I have my mk1 Eunos thanks PH thumbup as my current daily.

Recently I have become entitled to a company car.

My annual mileage is going to be between 4 to 10k a year for business plus 15k private miles.

A mix of motorway driving and lots of A- B road commutes.

So im considering an GT TDI 2.0

Ticks all the box's on nice place to be, quick enough and a good steer. For what it is!

So any other suggestions.

Must be a dirty oil burner
60+mpg on a run
£19k max
less than a year old
less than
10k miles

Have you considering opting out of the scheme? Sometimes you're better off taking the allowance if that's an option.

This way you'd get something more interesting than a Golf GT.

I'm in a similar position, in that I quite fancy a used V70XC, but the petrol engine is far too thirsty for my liking, so the diesel is looking like the only option.
