I prefer look of C-Max but after hearing the problems my Dads mate has had with his (ok its something like an automatic 7 speed) but its had loads of work done to it, even including a complete new wiring loom! sometimes it doesnt want to stop either.

C-Max = Awful
Golf Plus = Looks awful but has a good chassis. Both is dependant on the engine options you have to be honest.

If its a company car are you gonig to be paying company car tax on it ?
IIRC it works on emissions, so choose the one that has the cleanest exhaust and keep your payments down.

The way it worked last time was that they bought and paid everything as it was a pool car, I just filled it up when I used it. Didn't get stung for it.

I'd go for the C-Max if it were me. Lots and lots of MPG, cheap to tax, low emissions.

Just make sure it really can be defined as a pool car.
"There is no tax charge for using a pool car. (A pool car is defined as one where private use is 'merely incidental' to business use, where it is not normally used by any single employee to the exclusion of others, and where it is not normally kept overnight at or near an employee's home.)" From the JustTax website http://www.just-tax.co.uk/guide_cc.htm If HMRC or your company auditors check and find it's normally only driven by you, and you clock up more than the odd mile of personal use, or it's normally kept at your house overnight you will get a hit on your tax code.
