Don't forget Skoda, we've got a Karoq and it's great , but the Octavia / superb will be up there with VW stablemates
My lad is selling his 1994 Fiesta if you're interested lol.It's a minter.
I don’t mind Skoda - engines and running gear etc same as vw and Audi, very reliable too.Can’t convince my other half though to like them.. still got old Skoda prejudices! It’s going to be “our”‘car too..She’s just had her polo written off having been shunted off the road at 60mph by a drunk driver.. fortunately no serious injuries. The bloke at the recovery yard tells me vw and Audi are the safest cars at the moment, better even than Volvo.
Audis are always good value. As well as getting the car, you also get a 100% pass rate course in how to drive like a Kitson.
I worked for Vwg for many years, vastly overrated imo. You can't go wrong with Japanese cars. Suzuki, Subaru, Toyota are the best.
I don't know which Passat variant you're after but that happened to me too. 36k when ordered, list price was £38.5k when I got it and with extras mine comes on at £39995 in the end. Important to get that valuation right as a company car driver.
Had a BMW 330e as a company car driver, haven’t liked it to be honest.Been offered a new Tesla and as I’m not really into cars and have a home charger I thought I’d give it a go. I’m not too fussed what i drive to be honest so couldn’t turn down the cost savings on offer even though I know Tesla’s get a lot of negativity.

Important to get that valuation right as a company car driver.It’s the new variant estate just launched..I need to really check what elements of the OTR price are in the list price for road tax calculations, as if some bits are excluded then the A4 might be ok..Have the drive them both first anyway.
Looks like we’re probably going to accept the tax hit to get the car (Passat) we want.As a blue light card holder I found out I can get £8K off.. can’t argue with that!
