If you had 4k a year (£300 monthly) on car allowance what kind of car would you get?

It has to be Diesel and 5 door and with ideally no fixed contract with the lease company.

I want a medium to saloon size car. I would really like keep it under the £200 a month so i have an extra £100 in my months pay.

Any suggestions or links?

Does it have to be fully maintained?

If not, Bravo Sport

FIAT on lease? Are you crazy? You'll spend more time in a 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa courtesy car than in your lease vehicle!!

Honda Accord iCTDi - diesel, 5 doors, Mondeo size, Jap reliability

I've had mine since July, done just over 13,000 miles and haven't had a single problem!

If they weren't reliable then lease companies wouldn't have them as in the long run they'd lose money.

The Accord is a good choice though. I couldn't get one for my budget fully maintained so opted for the Bravo.

All cars lose money...

They have them as a cheap and cheerful alternative - not everyone wants to lease a 3.0TDi Audi A6

Rubbish. They are good cars.

Why is it rubbish?? I worked for the biggest car leasing company in the UK a few years ago I know how it works. The majority of cars were VAG or Ford. They were phasing out Renault's as I left because they were dog s**t!! At least they were keeping some of the FIAT's, in all fairness, but there weren't that many of them.


Honda Accord iCTDi - ticks all of the boxes, and it looks good

[Puntoboy]

Usually because of demand, not because of reliability.

Golf GT-TDI. All VAG's are good imo tho, maybe a skoda vrs tdi? Not sure if either of them are in your price bracket tho...

The Golf td1 gt is simply the worst car I've ever driven. Boring, boring, boring. So unremarkable that you have to use the key fob to find it. I prefer my wifes panda, at least that made me smile as I blatted through the town.

I really can't find the words to describe the sheer tedium involved with the, um what was it called? You know sorta grey, looks like..er every other car.....
