I blew up the gearbox on a company Golf I had for a few days a couple of years back.
Europcar wanted to give me a Skoda Octavia (no problem there to be honest, fine motor) but when I got to the office they said it hadn't arrived yet. Would I mind waiting and it would be there within half an hour. I said thats no problem, well I was on company time.
The manager of the branch overheard and said that wouldn't be acceptable and I should have the next car they had in stock that was up the scale.
I drove out in a brand spanking new Volvo XC70, the one like an Audi Allroad. Had it a week, bloody lovely motor. (wouldn't have one myself to be honest though, it was nice but not £32,000 nice)

I haven't taken it above 60 yet, and I rather like returning the 35.4 mpg that a magic dial is telling me I have achieved 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)   

Things might very well change however! ::) ::) :D :D ;)

I'd be surprised if you can, mainly because they wouldn't reach 155mph.

Top speed is claimed to be 151 (you can knock a few mph off in real life use), with 204 bhp, 369 ft/lb of torque, and a combined fuel consumption figure of 40.9 mpg.

As it's a new e320 CDI it will have 221 BHP and will do 155  :y
