Which company car?

I am going to have a car through work so to some extent the purchase cost is not a consideration. More important is economy and tax. However I drive about 20,000 miles per year and 70% is on motorways.

I'm torn between Jazz Hybrid, Seat Leon 1.6 TDI ecomotive or the Ibiza ST 1.2 TDI ecomotive.

I've driven them all and was initially going for the Jazz but have now read that it is not best on motorways.

I've seen the real mpgs in your pages but would like to hear what your choice would be?

Since it won't be your car you needn't worry about problems with diesels, and your mileage should keep the DPF clear anyway. Obviously the car needs to be below 100g/km for your BIK. For me, the BIK costs of the cars would be the deciding factor.

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.
