Company Car Choice

Northstar · 3 Feb 2008 at 09:22

Hi , I'm looking for peoples opinions/ help in choosing a new company car.

Due to a recent promotion I am now eligible to have a company car. The company that I work for has a pre approved list to choose from. The list at my grade is a varied choice and seems to be full of people carriers and estate cars, but from the list these are the cars that I can see myself driving;

Vauxhall Vectra 1.9 (150) CDTI Design
Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Titanium
Renault Laguna 2.0 Dynamique S DCI 150

I'll be covering upto 30k miles per year so want to make the right choice. Does anyone on these forums drive one of these cars?

Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Titanium

The best car there, by miles.

If you are still unsure go for a test drive at a dealership.

Bit of a limited choice, but I wouldn't really want to drive 30k miles in a Laguna or Vectra to start with.

I've driven the Laguna and the Mondeo both for several hundred miles. Not really got time to do a full appraisal right now but the Mondeo was considerably better than the Laguna, although the Laguna had its merits.

The Mondeo is easily the best car from that list - the general quality astounded be, it was near BMW 3 Series levels of quality. Titanium spec is also excellent.

Thanks for your replies guys, its the Mondeo that interests me the most, i am going to try and get a test drive at the local main dealers. For the time being, I have been given a Mazda 6 2.0 TS Diesel hire car which I am enjoying driving, but not sure I'd want to cover the mileage I will be doing in it. At least it's something I can directly compare the Mondeo with.
