Company Car

[MrJan]

Exciting times people, today I was finally given the nod to search for a company car. Trouble is I ain't sure what to pluck for. I've got a fairly low lease budget and the stipulation that it has to be a diesel, which is fair enough.

So now I'm looking for ideas, currently near the top are a DS3 or a Focus, but i don't what the DS3 unless it's the fairly high spec that actually looks quite cool. So gather round fellow forums and help me choose something to drive for the next 3 years.

Personally my choice of next car is a Focus. The new ones look quite nice.

Depends on what lease per month you are allowed.Focus for me or even a KIA i40,may be an option

Mazda 3 Diesel? Same platform and drivetrain as the Focus.
I can only speak for the petrol variants, but the Mazda is a little stiffer.

I've not driven the DS3, but the C4 which I imagine is probably similar was a little vague by French standards.

As it'll have a maintainence deal I couldn't give a toss how reliable it is, none of it will cost me.

Not keen on the Hyundai, it's taken a bit of a thrashing from the ugly stick.

Thought about the Mazda as my brother has one and likes it, sadly it's quite a bit more to lease than the Focus.

This.

Fiat 500 ?

The current Renault Megane looks better than previous versions. I have no idea how much they costs though.

Can you go up as much as a Golf GTTDI type thing?

Considering how indescribably horrid the previous version was, that wouldn't be hard.

However Nissan is giving Renault a good challenge for making the ugliest cars, I wonder if it's Renault/Nissan group policy to make their products as repulsive as possible.
