Does the car match the personality? We like to think so. Out of 18 Special Offers for October, five of our team picked the car they’d actually get in and drive - and shared a few thoughts on why.
Matt Casey - Company Accountant
Volkswagen Passat eHybrid Elegance
"I spend a lot of time on the road. Commuting to work, weekends away, and I also run a little coffee van on the side, so I’d need something practical and economical. The Passat Estate eHybrid would be my pick. It’s definitely roomy enough for the family and dogs. And with 29 g/km CO2 it’s economical, and efficient enough that I wouldn't sweat the fuel or running costs.Classic account, I know."
Jess Lache - Vehicle Administrator
Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech
"I’d want a car that I can rely on and wouldn’t let me down. I commute to work, I love my walking, and I’m a runner, so I’m always going to new places and getting lost. The Peugeot 2008 seems like it's got good tech - I need navigation! Looks like it’d be easy to park too with its parking sensors. Plus, it seems comfy which is a bonus after a long run.”
Joel Peart - Marketing Manager
Volvo XC60 2.0 Plus Black Edition
"I’ve always driven Volvos, so this is pretty straightforward. Stick to what you know! Although I’d love my first-ever Volvo back (the 480), the XC60 would do just fine. I’ve never had an issue with Volvos. They’re smart, safe and Swedish.”
Cerian Yates - Vehicle Administrator
Alfa Romeo Junior 1.2 Turbo
"I like cars with a bit of personality and looks. Who doesn’t? The Alfa Romeo Junior stands out to me. It’s sporty. I’m not too fussed about practicality for my day-to-day driving - I’d prefer to turn heads. I just love a car that looks and feels modern with features to match.”
Ian Richardson - Pricing & Sales Support Specialist
BMW 1 Series 120 M Sport
"I’ve been driving a fair few years now. I’ve driven all sorts for work and personally.I’d be after a car that keeps me engaged behind the wheel. The BMW 1 Series 120 M Sport is a bit of a showstopper - perfect for winding lanes in Yorkshire. Every mile has to be fun, but we know BMW still handles the everyday stuff too.”
