£21k Estate Car.... Choices? Opinions?

I reckon white estates can look cool, especially if they look like this

This and an Alpina B30 Touring are probably the ideal estate if you don't mind visiting the petrol pumps.

I may kill someone soon if this keeps up.

So.... see if you can see the logic here... one of the following was approved, the other denied.

1. 160 BHP diesel. 60 mpg. 20" wheels. 119 CO2. £21,495
2. 150 BHP diesel. 64 mpg. 17" wheels. 113 CO2. £21,495


Yup... the retard of an MD approved number 1. (which we can't get now) but has said no to option 2. The reason!?? Option 1 was a 2.0 diesel. Option 2 is a 2.2. So basically he's looked at one figure, knows feck all about anything and made a totally uneducated decision. She's driving a 177 bhp car just now that does 55 mpg ffs.

Result = Ryannnnnnn having to put a massive email and spreadsheet together to make the business case for approving a more economic, cheaper, less powerful car than one he previously approved. In the meantime, one of the three available vehicles has been sold. What's the bets the other 2 get sold whilst dickhead makes life harder.

Currently Ryannnnn is not letting me call the numpty directly. I'll not be letting her put up with any more of this. If she doesn't get this Mazda, then it's their problem to solve .. not hers. Total utter twats.

I agree with Dom.... almost.

Still like white on sporty cars but they must have black wheels and trim to work.

A white rep-mobile estate looks like the fleet manager refused to pay for metallic.

Absolutely spot on, the girl friends white mx5 with black details, black roof and dark wheels looks ace IMHO, but I Iook and feel absurd driving it, while it suits her perfectly

Time for a new job. Some things are just not worth the trouble.
