I nearly suggested the BMW 320D Efficient Dynamics but I think it's too expensive?

VW Golf/Passat estate? Bluemotion models are very cheap tax wise.

This. The saloon is gopping but the estate is nice.

Proving very popular on our company car scheme.

The Superb came in with very good lease quotes late last year, even slightly better than the Octavia. If you pick the right spec and colour and wheels it looks quite good - I agree the saloon looks a bit of a spud.

Another thanks for finding that Comcar site, fantastic thing.

Blew my idea of a 159 Ti out of the window mind... haven't prices rocketed recently!

Wondered about that one.
Hope it wouldn't feel like a second hand A4?
Look good though.

Is it a strict £25k or based on a monthly lease cost? Some cars with the same list price come out wildly different on the monthly lease due to total cost of ownership + deals - some £30k cars work out cheaper than some £20k cars.
