Help!! GP for Company Car - Choices

Looking for a little advice....
I'm able to get a company car through my work benefits program - I pay a lease cost and get a taxed/insured/serviced/new car.

I'm after something cheap that will do for the next 6 months (will be leaving by then and need to hand it in) to that end I have plumped for a Grande Punto but am a little stuck on a model:

The ones I'm considering are:

1.3 16v Diesel Active MJet (75) - Cheapest aside from the 8v's, better company car tax bracket, seems a good MPG and has good reviews
1.4 16v Active Sport - A little pricer, but seems to give more power and gets the more sporty trim.

I have rulled out the 1.2 8V and 1.4 8V as they seem to be a bit under-powered for the GP's weight from what I've read.

Will probs test drive the two although having not driven much I'm not sure I will really tell much difference so thought I would seek some advice.
Also the options I was looking at was Blue&Me and unsure whether its worth paying more for Metallic Paint (rather than just stick with Rock n Roll Blue) when I'm not going to have it long term.

All help very much appreciated

If they pay for your fuel then get the 1.3 MJ

Its 99% for personal use so it will mainly be used by me and therefore fuel paid for by me

When I do have to travel the train is normally the bets option.

Looking at fuel costs althoguh it will cost a lot more to fill it should return a lot more MPG and therefore be better I thought?
For the record I dont plan on doing a lot of miles...

If your not going to do a lot of miles your better of with a petrol.

Thanks it sounds like the 1.4 16V Active Sport w/Bluetooth & Me, Metallic Paint could be the best option then.

Hopefully the lead time won't be to long

If its series 2 you will be waiting awhile, but yea if your not doing alot of miles then 1.4 petrol

No its the current 1 series so I should be alright, I think it will be around six weeks

dont need metallic paint rock n roll blue is a good looking colour and if you dont like it you know your gonna get rid of it anyway. P.S rock n roll blue i s goooooood

Thanks for the adive.
Im not against Rock n Roll Blue I just cant seem to find a decent picture of it anywhere and no dealers seem to have it viewable

i'll try and get some pics up of mine

Me too ....need to wash/polish it first though

have you got rear windows tinted?

If someone could get up one pic that would be great!

Need to start the ball rolling Monday so a pic before then would be ideal.
Although if not no worry's.

Think I'm going to go for:
1.4 Active Sport 16V, Colour Rock n Roll Blue, Extra - Blue & Me.

Hopefully I wont wait forever and have to give it back as soon as I get it

No Lennie but been thinking of doing it, wife not keen though

only had the MJ for 2 months but so far so good - made up with it and got it for a good price IMO, the mpg figures are brilliant

how is yours....any snags ?

i've got my 1.4 16v sporting on a company...its a bastard cos i seem to get taxed more for using it privately (as its company owned and not leased) than i would if i'd brought an mjet sporting on finance but there we go!

the 16v is the right choice though
