When I changed in March BMW CO2 and thus BiK numbers were very good, far better than the mainstream Ford / Vauxhall of similar size, and the depreciation helps as well. For me it was also a no brainer, better car, less money out. Reply to this message | Report message

Interesting that two most common fleet cars namely Vauxhall Astra and Ford Focus are not in list! Reply to this message | Report message

>> Interesting that two most common fleet cars namely Vauxhall Astra and Ford Focus are not >> in list! Because they are not the two most common fleet cars. For fleet drivers, they have no appeal. Reply to this message | Report message

The Astra and Focus were probably lower down for reliability. After all this is the top ten. Reply to this message | Report message

"drinking southerner" You've said some rotten things about me but that's just sailing too close to the edge. Salford born and (white) bread. Reply to this message | Report message

>Chilled in the fridge between the back seats. Does the XJ have this crucial gadget...? Only available with the Burberry interior. They're pretty rare. First time I saw a car fridge was on a friend's Chevy Constantia. It had been the official car for the Mayor of Cape Town. Not sure what his official duties included but it was a real party car.
