Which company car should I choose?
I am now in the position where I get a company car and have a choice of Skoda Octavia 1.6D DSG, Golf bluemotion 1.6 diesel DSG or Audi A1 1.4TFSI DSG. These are what I have narrowed it down to as I want an auto.
Which would you recommend for 12-20k per year? I was impressed with the A1 but am worried it would not be a great motorway cruiser as I will be going from London to Bolton twice a month so need something that is a comfortable cruiser?
The Golf seems a bit boring but I find the Octavia seat quite 'small' being 6"2, but with excellent ride quality.

The A1 obviously won't be as economical as the two diesels but carries a lot more status and is more fun to drive.

I'm being offered a company car for the first time or the option of a car allowance, but only so long as the car is under 5 years old. I am leaning towards the car allowance option, but I would like advice...
I am switching from having a company car to car allowance.
I do 12,000 miles per year. For personal reasons I like to drive cars from the Volkswagen stable.
So my question is should I go for The 1.6...
I am retiring in January next year, my current company (lease) car (Skoda Octavia L&K Estate 20. DSG) expires when 4 years old in December. Mileage at that point will be around 32,000.
I am considering...
