Thread title says it all really.
Bit of background, this is going to be a company car, so my choice is limited, manufacturer and cost wise (think £350 pcm including maintenance on a 3 year 25k miles pa contract).
Things to bear in mind, I'm 6'4", and currently drive a mk3 mondeo, which I like and would otherwise be hanging on to for another year or two. That said I would like something smaller* for ease of parking where I live.
I've already had a look around and have something approaching a short list so I'm after opinions from owners or not. On to the List, with some comments;
Seat
New Leon 2.0 TDI Sport (plenty of toys, not that sure about the interior space, need to have another sit in this one).
Altea 2.0 TDI Sport (plenty of toys, but not as many as the leon, but is it just a bit too mini MPV?)
VW
Jeta 2.0TDI Sport (nearly as big as the mondy, not as well equipped as
the Seat)
Golf 1.9 TDI SE (not as well equipped as the Seat)
Skoda
Octavia 2.0TDI Elegance (Lots of toys, nearly as big as the mondy)
Ford
Focus TDCI Titanium (I don't like the focus. odd as I really like the mondy)
BMW
118d MSport (not a clue how they do this for the lease cost, not supposed to have much rear leg room at all. Won't be far off poverty spec)
Help !
*Yes I know the Jeta and Octavia are not that much smaller than the mondy.
