OK on the company car front, she uses the company card to buy all her fuel. She then repays her personal mileage. Except she never has done! But her personal mileage will be extremely low as she is home based so majority of shopping etc will be done on way home from work. And she likes a glass of wine when socialising so taxis most of the time!
Her fleet use Hitachi and she reckons there is a massive UK order going in that has been pending since pre lockdown and they are just wanting to catch the stragglers from up here.
She is not a high rate tax payer so her BIK costs are apparently
Niro - £102.92pm
Corolla - £119.48pm
(as a non company car driver I think that is b***** brilliant deal to get a car like this for the cost - why do company car drivers complain??)
MPG for both cars are roughly the same so cost isn't really going to be a deciding factor. She has narrowed it to these two as she definitely wants a reversing camera as she is used to that on her Qashqai (I wasn't going to argue - it helped narrow the choice :)
We are now searching auto trader to see if there are any local garages with these on the forecourt she can have a nosey around.
If it was me, I would probably go Niro as I like SUV type cars (though apparently this has a lower seating position than most SUVs) but for some reason I just do not like the KIA steering wheels - something about that big round circle in middle reminds me of old American cars or trucks or something!
