Due to a promotion at work I have an option to select a company car.
Price you see in the document is whats deducted from your salary before tax.
IE:... if your package is $70k and you take out a Holden VZ Executive, your take home salary drops to $57K
Car is fully maintained all year.... petrol, insurance, repairs, and servicing etc..etc. You don't spend a brass razzoo, except paying $13K before tax for 3 years.
Then you get a new one .
Question is what vehicle to choose from the list?????

Assuming you will still have the Soarer, get the cheapest shopping cart e.g. an Astra or Vectra. Otherwise, get the BMW 325Ci and worry about A. the money wasted and B. how much more you would have enjoyed an Altezza.
I agree with Peter. Get another Soarer fully maintained for half the price, and pocket whatever the difference you'd have saved (less tax of course) hehe Even pay an extra grand or two if they have an issue with it. You know you're gonna get a better value and enjoyment out of a Soarer than any other car on that list
Out of that lot I think I would choose the Mazda. At least you'll get a reliable and quite pretty car (and the Europe COTY of last year). I'd choose that over ANY Holden.

Don't tell that to my family then David who are 4X4 freaks (and just plain old freaks) over there. We do have normal roads on our steepish hills though lol.

If it was me, I would be going for the XR6 if they get the turbo model, otherwise the XR8, but I am an ex-Ford boy, so I am biased. Otherwise, the Mazda 6's are a beautiful car, and if your new package gives you bucketloads of money, then you couldn't go past the yuppie factor of the BMW 325Ci Convertible
Make sure you let us know which one you get, and give us pics
