Help!

I've "got to get" a company motor, replacing the MY02 Scoob. I've got £24k to spend and it's got to fit 4 ppl.

Current Short List:
Audi A4 1.8T Sport
Audi A4 1.9TD Sport
BMW 320d SE
WRX + PPP (Currently still favourite )
Seat Leon Cupra R

I've tried a diesel X Type - Utter Sh**e, but great for OAPs

I need something to give me an "entertaining" drive, goes quite well, and is nicely equipped (low tax would be nice, but not essential)

Your suggestions welcome.

Do you really think that the verdict is not going to weigh heavily in favour of the WRX by posting on Scoobynet.
Much in the same way if you post on a BMW or Audi forum, you are not going to get a balanced opinion.

Despite the grin factors, if it's a company car and you have to ferry people about in comfort, think about rear space. AFAIK the Leon doesn't have much rear room. Don't know about the others apart from the Scoob which I know has enough

I would imagine the Beemer would have plenty as well. If it's gonna be used with clients, you don't want them uncomfy now do you

I don't need the car for clients etc.. - just a co rule. I do have to fit the family in though!

I did have the RX-8 on the list, but a test drive wont be available till end Oct. Also not sure about rear room in it!

NB
