Do I… Get a cheap car about £4…. Pay off quick Get a car about £8/9k and pay off in 3 years. Get a car about £12 and keep for 5 years. Spec… Currently have a GOLF GT MK7. Adaptive Cruise Control Auto hand brake SAT NAV with Traffic Phone Integration Reasonable Boot space. Can seat 4 people. 2.0l Diesel So options Get a MK 7 Golf Get a loan and buy my company car £8k ish Match or GT Possible smaller engine Get a Octavia - not a golf bigger boot, no auto handbrake No adaptive cruise control as standard SAT NAV on some models Something different.

What happens if you leave the company? |

The car allowance stops. The only reason I would leave would be for better money or redundancy. The latter will pay the car off. |

I was very happy with all my Octavias and you can get a decent one for your top budget but you can always change before any loan is fully paid off as the car will still have a healthy value. A Mini does feel a more special place to be but are quite dependent on getting the right spec. I’d go Clubman over Countryman and you’ll get either a 150bhp diesel or 192bhp petrol with sensible mileage in budget. Chilli pack is a must as is either the Media XL or Tech Pack. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified ... obcid=soc3 |

Can you not just train/taxicab/ hire a car as needed on expenses? Swerves the issue neatly. |

Octavias are great. Like a Golf but cheaper and more boot space. |

Get a Porsche Cayenne - loads of them around for about 7-8k with 70kish on the clock, and you'll make all the other IT people jealous. |
