One to one?

I currently drive a company BMW120d that is coming to the end of its lease. To be honest, I have not been that impressed. There has been an element of politeness on the road for a BMW and the power is good, but it is not particularly comfortable, nor is it smooth. I am looking for a replacement car with more comfort and a softer ride up to about the same value and the same emissions. It must be 5 door and presentable to my Clients.

The most comfortable car in this class is the new Renault Megane on 15" or 16" wheels. Far more precise steering than any BMW, too. But a new 118d is in a very favourable tax bracket and the ride is better on ES or SE 16” tyres than it is on 17”.
