Ok, time has come to replace the Mondeo Estate, the only company car options are a Golf 2.0 GT TDI (too small) or an Estate Passat.
Passat will cost me £600 in personal usage, plus about £1000 in additional tax a year.
+ maintenance, servicing, tyres, insurance, VED etc all included.
- can't have any modifications, which includes no tow bar, which means no tow bar mounted bike rack (4 bikes), which means no family cycling holidays.
Alternatively, I can take £6000 as the cash equivalent and sort it all out myself.
Which I'm tempted to do.
Thinking of something a little smaller than the Mondeo/Passat, e.g. 3 Series Touring, Avensis Estate, Skoda Octavia, Focus Estate etc.
Possibly, going cheap and spending about £6k on the car (probably rules out the 3 series as I'd like something less than 6 years old).
Doing about 25k miles a year.
What would the Singletrack massive do?
