Any other criteria?
[*]Estate
Maximum CO2 of 160g/km
Must have Bluetooth(company policy)
DAB radio(personal requirement)
Max budget of £32,500[/*]
Do you get a list of all the cars that are available in your price range?
I got a spreadsheet of all the cars, removed the ones which would kill me on company car tax; removed the ones which were unsuitable and ended up with a list of 5-10 cars.
I popped around the dealerships to look at the specs and have a sit in them.
My criteria was:
As economic as possible.
Estate to chuck stuff in the boot.
Bluetooth
Not cost a chuffin fortune. I prefer to spend the money when I get there, not getting there.
In the end if was a choice of:
Focus Estate
Mondeo Estate
Golf (Plus)
Volvo V50
I went for the V50, and it’s a lovely motor. It’s not got the most oomph, it’s well kitted out, will do 50+ Mpg every day, and suits me.
Why not consider the new V60? They look rather nice.
Otherwise a specced out Merc?
