Company cars are only tax efficient if you do high mileage really. The sort of scenario where the private lease company's just laugh at you, like 20k and upwards...
Nobody in my company really gets a company car allowance aside from a few senior managers who are on the road a lot but they offer a lease scheme for fully maintained and insured cars whereby you pay less deductions from pay as it reduces your pre tax pay or pre stamp pay or something. I don't know anyone who's ever taken it up but I'm sure a Fiesta or something might be attractive to those wanting a known automotive monthly budget in the same way people pay over the odds on phone contracts. Convenience.
Ahh, I noticed the DSG 5 door had vanished from the company car list in work. To qualify for the scheme they have to be under 120.
Mind you through the works scheme a fully maintained and insured (the only option) GTD 5 door with met paint would cost the thick end of £380 - 400 a month on a 24 month 10,000 a year contract against a lease from CVL which would be masses cheaper.
5-door DSG has always been over 120g/ km Co2 oddly, but looks like they've all slightly risen now
I've never really taken any notice of the scheme before as it's been a low key thing but they sent us all emails highlighting it recently. From your info the 5 door DSG would never have been on the scheme then.
