Default Re: £23k for a four seater car. Which one and why.

Avoiding emmissions/company car tax a bit: brand new mondeo titanium x, tonnes of car for the money, reasonably quick, 50mpg (diesel), comfy & smart.

Failing that, the super doopa diesel vw scirrocco. Literally the most beautiful 'everyday car' on the road

Another vote for the Golf GT DSG - I had one as a hire car and loved it, However, the Alfa Brera and GT are both fine looking cars, don't know what they drive like though.

Agree with you about the Brera. Not the GT however, its the budget end of Alfa Romeo. You want the 159 or Brera when buying Alfa

Depends on emissions tax- a nice merc could set you back £5K a year, more than enough to buy and service it, I reckon.

We just got one as a company car...120dse with the top sat/nav dvd system which has a hard drive you can copy dvds to. Pretty fast motor and pulls really well. Makes the mini cooper feel really really slow. Gives over 50 to the gallon and thats putting your foot down quite a bit. Sticks to the road like the mini too. Never did really like them but wifey got promoted and this was the car on offer. I have grown to really like it now
