Please help me choose a company car

It has to meet the following:

Price range: £20k-£25k

Manufacturer (EDIT as determined by employer): BMW, Honda, Audi, Mercedes, Renault, Toyota, Vauxhall, Volkswagen

CO2 emissions < 160 (would prefer diesel, but not vital).

A mix of practical (family of 4 to cater for, so rear comfort and decent boot space) and, if possible, sexy.

Wide open to suggestions here!

Cheers.

Hi - Well if its sexy you are after I would say a Golf GTI http://www.alandayvw.co.uk/new-volkswagen/golf-gti/default.aspx

The new VW polos are quite nice too actually, no idea about emissions etc I'm always into looks lol

Any reason why you have chosen those particular manufacturers?

Vauxhall Insignia, very roomy inside nice to drive and you'll get a high spec for the given budget.
VW Passat, similar.
Toyota Avensis, Diesel Auto (proper auto) lovely drive.
Renault Laguna.
MB C Class, though it could be off the road for months waiting for new injectors after a week or two.

Honda's new Accord now looks positively ugly since they've tried to ape the Mazda 6 look and only worsened the mess, though one mans meat etc.
Audi and BMW nice enough but you won't get such a high spec given the budget.

Has anybody got any thought on the BMW 320d 2.0 Efficient Dynamics 4dr?

Toyota Rav4 or urban cruiser

Of that lot I would definitly go for a Toyota based on the reliability and quality and that coupled with the 5 year warranty leaves the rest trailing

As its a company car and hopefully they are paying all running costs, get yourself a BMW 325 Sport Auto. A great all rounder.

Looks like they tailor specified it for you.
They even call it the Business Edition to give you a hint.

Skoda Octavia vRS DSG with a shed load of options. I know its not on the list but VW/Audi are so worth making the enquiry.
Co2 159, (sub 160 just
Break horse power 170 turbo diesel
DSG autogearbox straight out the VW/Audi
Class leading bootspace in the hatch, with estate even bigger.
Comes in at about 20k so plenty of money for options.
