company car schemes

I have just been offered a job with a company that has a company car scheme and provides an allowance of £550.00 per month for me buy and maintain a car. I expect my annual mileage to be around 15-20K. The monthly amount will need to cover, repayments, tax, insurance and set some aside for servicing. I can select any car that is no older than 4 years and I am currently looking at buying rather than leasing a medium sized diesel car around £12K - Focus, Golf, Astra. I dont want to use my own capital on a big deposit so, what would you reccomend as my best option?
