Rigth all being well I should have a company car signed off by the end of next week

Looking at the list I have narrowed the car list down to a choice of the following

Audi A3 SE 140 TDI DSG
Audi A4 140 TDI Sline
BMW 120 d Sport
Ford Focus ST2
Honda Civic Sport 2.2CDTI
Seat Leon 140 TDI DSG
VW Golf GT TDI

Not sure which one to get and i know the ST 2 is the only pertrol car mentioned and the increase in tax i will have to pay

I am going towards the 1 series at the moment (please note these cars are on my grade so no others can be considered as don' want to pay the extra to upgrade the model etc)

what do you reckon and why

chees guys any reasons why

I have not drove all of them in the list so will be interesting to see why

Also used to the power of my TT but in gear acceleration could be matched with the diesels i think and the ST

The Focus is completley differant to the others which begs the question, do you really need a diesel???

Well yes and no

I will be charged for my personal miles classed as travelling to the office etc

But when on business ie not at the office the fuel is paid for

I have included the ST as its car i wouldn't normally buy hence this is a good opportunity

The Golf GTI is a grade higher

The Octavia VRS is on my grade with the 2.0tFSI but I'm not keen on the Octavia

If you can get DSG in the other VAG car's for the price, why not chnage for a manual 170PS TDi if possible?

Also wouldn't the new Type S 2.2 Diesel fit in aswell?

DSG is for A3 or Leon mate

I do like the civic but the BMW feels more upmarket and 163 BHP

Yeah i know, but couldn't you skip on the DSG option and get the higher output engine?

sline is not on A3 option I don't think its a grade higher as service charge is higher etc

120 D sport in white is looking good at the moment I think who knows see what next week brings

I would have preffered an older a4 with s-line kit but not keen on the new shape a4 unless it's the rs4

Don;t get a white 1 series, it'll look silly imo

A4 S-Line without a shadow of doubt.
Superb all round performer and typical Audi build quality would see me choose that.

If its the 120d M-Sport, then again, this is worth considering, but it isnt a patch on the A4.
