I am about to change jobs - meaning I lose the company car (PHEV).
I’ll be travelling to & from London plus a few miles whilst there - so about 250 miles a week. So borderline whether diesel makes sense.
Ideally I’d like an auto that’s nippy rather than blisteringly fast & at least golf / focus sized.
I’ve seen some good lease offers on Volvo V40 for 12k pa which will total around £7.2k over 2 years. That’ll give peace of mind but I’m not sure I need a new car - so would consider a purchase of something (bigger / better) so long as I don’t lose more in depreciation than the above lease deal over 2 years.
I’d be happy for approved used with an additional (2nd) year warranty - which is exactly what I did previously when I bought E92 BMW 325i - which I loved & was utterly reliable - but the economy of 30mpg might not be ideal these days...
Whatever it is it needs to be bullet proof reliability as I’ll be doing this every week.
(hence my previous choice of the BMW straight 6)
Any pointers / advice gratefully received.
Thanks,
z
