ewan221 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Im due to get new comapny car in march and have to have my choice in by end of Jan so starting to have a think. Company rule is that it has to be 4 door and not a sports or coupe and at least 40 mpg average. At moment I have an Audi A4 2.0tdi in the basic spec. I have around £25k max price so could again go for the basic A4 or maybe 3 series BMW or could go for something a bit smaller/cheaper and spec it up ??? I do ike the A4 but would be nice to have a bit of leather and some toys Any suggestions ? Quote
glrnet Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 If you like Audis try the A3 and spec it Quote
craigo Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 How about a Lexus IS 220? I looked at the A4 and A5 and hated both. (having had 2 A4's back to back of the older shape) Pretty basic even in S line trim. The Lexus is pretty good on CO2 now too, and fully loaded. I also had an Alfa 159 before the Lexus, loved that too. Far to many 3 series on the road already... be different! Quote
ewan221 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 Quite liking the look of the Alfa 159 so far Quote
ATTAK Z Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Quite liking the look of the Alfa 159 so far Good choice Quote
JetSet Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Quite liking the look of the Alfa 159 so far Yeah, its the sort of car I'd never buy but as a company car just great Pete Quote
rtbiscuit Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 the new smaller alfa is good as well called something like the juilletta or something. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 ALFA FTW have to agree for a company car, i had a 159 as a courtesy car a while back and loved it. was the 2.2 diesel and that thing flew like a rocket ship. and was such a nice place to be in. loved the seats and interior. not sports seats, more like arm chairs.

Mrs Sarnie wafts around in ours like lady muck, bless her, she thinks its on a par with a Maserati Quote
Stew Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Struggling to think of something better than a 159 as a company car..... Unless you got a rep mobile and spec'd the crap out of it! Quote
ATTAK Z Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 I ran a 156 before the Zed .......... lovely red leather and a very nice car ....... Quote
Ricey Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Repeating the repeated but the 159 floats my goat. I always wanted a 156 but never quite had the bottle in case the engine literally turned to dust one day. If its a company car you get all the joys and none of the hassle Quote
craigo Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 My 159 was the 2.4 Diesel. 5 cylinder and it sounded great for a diesel. Very high on CO2 but they now do a far better 2.0 (along with the original 1.9) I did 125K in it over 3 years and it never missed a beat. I only didnt get another one as I need to change model otherwise the new car feels like the old one in weeks. I would certainly have a look. Black on 18 inch wheels. Superb ! Quote
Ricey Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Swines! I was perfectly happy with my car! Now you've got me looking at 159's and getting the itch again Quote
