Question £25,000 - What New Diesel Would You Recommend?

Company car needs renewing & I'm looking at around about £25,000 to spend.

It has to be a diesel.

What would you recommend?

Cheers

Would say Impreza too, but if your coming from a modded one, they are a let down. Just waiting for the warranty to run out on mine, then life gets expensive. Still as a boring commuter its fine.

Id defo look at german marques like the audi. Ithink these are the best built cars about and have been for the last 15 year. They are very hard to beat. You should go for a test drive mate. Once theyve been remapped there fantastic to drive and on fuel. Ive been using my mums kia sorento, bought new with all the goodies, the only downside is that its auto and only does 18 mpg and thats taking my time...

It needs to be new as its a company car and will be entitled to tax relief...

You can get variable servicing which is every 20,000 miles or 2 yrs. not bad!
