Hi All.

Its now time to order my company car.

Its deff going to be a scirocco but I need some of your advice please.

Im entitled to approx £450 per month via our company car scheme which includes tax, ins, servicing, maintenance.

Iam opting for the 1.4dsg with interlagos, but I dont know what else I should go for. I want to keep my contribution and tax to a minimum. These are what ive come up with so far.

1.4dsg
Interlagos
Front Fogs
Sumatra
Multi steering wheel with paddles

Contribution: £80.57
£Tax @ 40%: £89.41

1.4dsg
Interlagos
Rear Parking Sensors
Front Fogs
Multi steering wheel with paddles
White

£78.75
£89.77

1.4dsg
Interlagos
Rear Parking Sensors
Sumatra
£77.49
£90.02

I know the only real difference is the colour. But I love Sumatra and Ive not been to keen on white due to the hassle keeping it clean and its a quite common on the scirocco, but if I opt white scratches dont show as much compared to a dark car and I also get an extra option for the same price.

Do any of you guys use the Multi Steering wheel controls or paddles and do you think fogs are a waste of money?

Your opinions would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

p.s I am also in contact with businessmanager who is arranging some quotes.

I got quotes for the 2.0 GT manual and the 1.4 petrol with Interlagos, multi function wheel & fogs (all standard on the GT). Total extras on the 1.4 was about £1000. The total price for the 1.4 was still well below the GT but the monthly payment was still £10 per month LESS for the GT because it has a higher residual value, so I went for the GT. The economics of this depend on how many miles you because of the lower MPG for the 2.0.

If you ever want to use a hands free phone - get the blue tooth preparation - I wish I had it - and the only option to retro fit non VW after market kits which are still expensive and a big hassle to sort out.

I got Sumatra and like all dark metallics it shows the dirt. Looks unbelievable when buffed and shiny though.

Buy the colour you like, not the easiest to keep clean or hide scratches, so get sumatra, you deserve it.

If you can afford it i would opt for the rear sensors, wish i had

also tyre pressure monitor ( if an option )

Dynaudio ( if an option )
