Got one of those as a pool car at work (1.9 CD Turbo Diesel) - complete with the low-profiles and darkened windows. Quite quick - has an accelerator like and on/off switch if you choose to use it that way (i.e. versus a more normal approach to changing speed). I've done some long trips in it and always been impressed with how well they're put together.

This is the Sports Hatch 1.9TDCi SRi XP. I tried the "Sport" button, the mpg went down by a bit! 8)bugs said:

Company car, so can only get new. Otherwise, I'd of got nearly-new. But the tax benefits of getting a company car meant that it's fairly cheap.

Depends what your car allowance is, my net payment for this car is very cheap for a brand new car and that includes the tax. But yes, you can get stung on tax. It goes on CO2 emissions so a Land Rover might have high CO2 emissions compared to mine. I remember my dad have a Subaru as a company car and it cost him loads!
For me being 26, a company car is best for me as a £20k+ car would cost a bit to insure and then there's the servicing etc.

I picked up a 96 Vitesse Turbo, full leather, heater seats, air suspension, fsh, one owner, the works, for less than £300. There aren't many cars that can keep up with it in a straight line either!
7 Series beemer next - top spec cars for less than £3k. And insurance companies love them 😀
