new company car

[original guvnor]

Looks great in Pearlescant White.

I find that hard to believe. The Pious (err sorry I meant Prius) would look good in a crusher, but thats about it. Mind you compared to an Avensis it's Cindy Crawford

The 1-series really doesn't do it for me, they are f'ugly.

From a Prius driver the words "people", "glasshouses" and "stones" spring to mind

SE or GTD?

 

[Taz]

2.0 TDI GT (140 PS) 5 Door

 

[ksher]

Good choice. Golf is always my first alternative to 1-series.

 

[Taz]

next dilema (is that correct spelling?)

do i do a PCP, HP or cash/bank loan

 

[thattallchap]

bigshurv, the Pruis is OK one of my neighbours has one, they look good in white.

Can you go and ask the R&D department why they've never replaced the Supra, MR2, Celica, etc

Mike, I think they are

[ksher]

Always personal unsecured loan from bank.

 

[Breaker]

I'd go with straight HP or bank loan! I was stung by a PCP once!! Never again!

 

[Taz]

cash and loan it is then, cheers

Stop taking the piss, I'm trying to make the best of a bad lot having to have a Toyota as a company car . My last one,a RAV4was great fun in the snow and would cruise as well over 3 figure speeds,a really good car,but I fancied a change.Back to a RAV next time until the new Celica/Supra replacement late in 2011. Google the FT-86. Looks amazing,and about time. Bleedin EU emissions regs killed off the Supra/Celica and MR2,and I read today have done it for the Civic Type R too. My Pruis hardly costs me anything in company car tax and allows me to run my Z as a weekend car,so I cannot complain.

yesterday i picked up my new golf

sad to say but it makes the zed look very poor when it comes to audio stuff

 

[Wondermike]

Switched threads.

Have you got the touchscreen system in your Golf? What about bluetooth or nav?

 

[Taz]

switched threads?

yep touch screen, sat nav and a voice activated blue tooth kit

not really had chance to play yet, my son as been using it, i will get to play over weekend

just fitted private plates too, good way of hiding age

 

[Wondermike]

Sounds nice then, bit closer to an aftermarket system with the touch screen etc. My Micra even has an aux in, nothing on the Z4, need to sort something out.

 

[Taz]

it also as a 30Gb HD, a 6 stack cd, an aux I/P and a sd card reader

 

[Taz]

last night i found out it also plays dvds, will keep me entertained at dinner time

big difference in micra and a zed, why a micra?
