Company car downgrade
Discussion
Hi looking for some opinions as to whether I am being oversensitive.
For the last 18 months been running Seat Ibizas as company cars with the 1 litre turbo engine had 4 of them changed regularly as the company I work for owns a garage group.
Had an email today saying they are changing my car again but this time it's staying for 3 years oh & it's the non turbo mpi which according to a colleague who got lumbered with one a while back wouldn't pull you out of bed!
I've kicked off about it but it looks like I might be stuck with it!
Do I A put up with it?
Or B tell them to stuff the car and take some extra money if they will do that
Or C tell them to stuff there job!
Any opinions?

Thanks for your opinions I think quite a few of you get it the car is needed but is also part of my salary, obviously there's a few out there that think a company car is free unfortunately the tax man takes his cut!
So a downgrade feels like a pay cut and who wants one of those?
Will wait and see if I can opt out if I can't I suppose I will just have to leave earlier!

Well the new car arrived this week and after a few days it appears my worst fears are realised
It's very sluggish and low geared at 70mph it's doing nearly 4000rpm so my average fuel consumption is about 20mpg less, finally after informing the inland revenue I'm going to be paying more tax as the emissions are higher!
I know there are those out there that think it's a free car and I shouldn't complain, its not free I pay tax on it and spend quite a bit of time in my mobile office.
Had a meeting with my boss today and aired my views and fingers crossed they are going to change it..........
