Leasing a new company car
I have the possibility of buying a company car (renting). What will be better, a fully-equipped Passat, Mondeo or Mazda 6, or a basic BMW 5-Series (also 3-Series, X3 or Audi an Audi A4 avant or Allroad)?
Security is my first concern, second drive and third reliability.
Anything I must be aware of?

You'll get massive feelgood factor from an F10 BMW 520d. The right Mondeo will give you the best drive. Leasing costs do not reflect list prices because they are based on price paid v/s predicted residual value of a car, so depending on lease company discounts obtained, a more expensive car can be cheaper to lease.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
