In terms of fit and finish - they do (unfortunately for Volvo). In terms of looks - no point of commenting as it is a matter of taste.

Skoda better fit and finish that Volvo? Stop it now.

Sure it has. 40k Superb vs 40k XC60 - no comparison. Nothing rattles or squeaks in Superb.

Op remember if you spend 50k+ then you will be paying BIK on that 50k+ and BIK is really significant - i.e. 30% by 50k = 15k by 52% = 7800 p.a. out of pocket cost to you for your 'free' car !!!

If you can get away with spending say 35k on a loaded and very capable Mazda 6 or Superb 2.0 TDI or Mondeo 2.0 TDCI, then the cost to you drops to 5460 p.a.

Over 4 years the cost of the 50k car with the nice badge (that you dont need to want) would cost you circa 10k extra out of pocket in tax alone

The op said that he drives about 35,000 per year so that's 12% BIK or a lot less than you reckoned.

I think thats incorrect - 12% rate s only applicable above 40,000km p.a. business miles. Op stated he does 35km total and also has a long commute so it unlikely he will get away with even 24% BIK unless they accept the 8km notional min miles

But the OP doesn't want a 20k car.

Well the op already knows what % BIK he is paying already so it's his choice.

Looks like it. 52 EX. VAT is 64 Inc. VAT.

Metallic, delivery and a few extras would quickly get you to that price.
