It will cover 25k miles a year,carry a family of 4,be suitable for.business.use and be decent to drive.
Budget is 10-12k.Company car allowance stipulates cars less than 4 years old and less than 100k miles.
Due to mileage I’m leaning towards diesel and I want a hatch.
I will probably only keep it for a year or so.
Is that 4 y/o at purchase, or can never be more than 4 y/o?
And based on you saying you’ll be getting rid in 25k/1yr then you need to focus on the ability to sell and depreciation just as much as fuel/running costs.
tbh I’d look at spending the least amount of money, to get the features you want.
And as I like bigger cars, then Vectra/Mondeo/Passet/Avensis etc in decent diesel with a reasonable trim – plus since I drive auto, I’d buy an auto.
