Unfortunately this doesn't leave a lot of options however I am considering the following:
VF II SV6 - depends if I can find one within the budget
Insignia VXR - some really cheap driveaway deals, loaded with kit, good specs but reviews are average
Hyundai Elantra SR Turbo - loaded with tons of kit and still a bit of fun to drive. Have test driven and was really impressed
The car will be driven to work and back (10km each way) some weekend use around town and i will occasionally have my 2 year old in the back. So I don't need a large car but after 5 years of driving slow boring appliances i am keen to get something that will be a bit of fun.
Keen to hear thoughts in the above and any other cars you think would be worth a look.
VF II SV6 should fit in....(assuming your company gets a fleet discount)
the Insignia is a pile of shite, steer away (plus its resale will be close to zero)
you looked at a Kia Optima?
