My partner is getting to choose a new company car (lucky him!). He's whittled the list down to two main contenders. The New Leon 2.0 TDi stylance (or possibly FR if he can get it down to around £16,000) or the new Honda Civic 2.2CDTi. (In the background he has a Ford focus 1.8 TDI and a Vauxhall Astra diesel).
Both main cars he's chosen for their very high spec (he wants cruise control etc) and perceived build quality. He was initially considering an Ibiza but I think he's swayed towards the Leon as he does a LOT of driving (80 miles a day plus occasional long distance business mileage).
Does anyone have any thoughts as to how the new Leon might cope as a company car? Any faults or problems to be aware of (I know it's early days). Given that he has no previous experience of SEAT's apart from my Mk4 Ibiza comparisons with previous models won't be helpful to him! Thoughts on the Civic are also welcome although i know it's the wrong forum for this.
He's planning to test drive both cars at the weekend. At the moment I think he's slightly more in preference of the Honda as he likes the battlestar galactica looks and he likes the way the dash etc is laid out - but ultimately it will come down to driving experience!
Cheers for your thoughts!
