Golf VI, Option opinions please
I don't often ask, but I have to pick a new company car, I've ignored all the French family cars and the Fords (I know I should have tried 
) avoided the Passat and opted for the Golf VI:
It's a Carat version (in France, it's slightly below the very top spec.)
Two questions:
Colour? 300 for metallic etc

Wheels?
Standard 16" Cleveland
or with Sport pack, 17" Seattle 600 or 18" Vancouver 800
Would you live with small wheels for 3 years? Does the Sports pack add anything? Need to place order early this week.
Oh - will I be in the garage often due to faults? I wouldn't expect for a 28 k car..

Haha! yes you will be in the garage due to faults (vw's are not exactly reliable), you really should have opted for the focus, its a better car tbh, but as you have gone for the golf, get everything you can on it (18's look nicer, 17's probably ride nicer), just plan to do some driving in the polo they will give you as a courtesy car

The Mondeo looked like a good buy, albeit a bit big as I live in the centre of town with no garage, the French are animals when they parallel park..
