Leased of his worries
I am a company car driver and currently have a choice of:
Ford Mondeo 1.8 TDCi 125ps Zetec 6 speed 5 door
Ford Mondeo 1.8 TDCi ECOnetic 5 speed 5 door Estate
Ford Focus Titanium 2.0 135 TDCi 6 speed Estate
Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTi 130 Exclusiv 5 door
However, it is anticipated I will now be given a choice of any car (within reason) up to the equivalent lease rate. I have usually gone down the Mondeo route to date and it generally suits my needs for daily business commutes of typically 50 to 100miles each way using a mixture of motorways and rural roads and typical teenage/20 something's family activities on weekends and holidays plus occasional longer university pick up trips but it would be nice to try something different now that I have the chance. This is a bit bewildering owing to the large choice out there so I was hoping that you would be able to give me the benefit of your valuable advice.
