If I had to change right now, and buy a car myself, I'd take an "old" cheap one that I like. Like a Citroën BX for its oleopneumatic suspension or a VW Scirocco mk2. Or a XM or Saab but it would not fit in my garage (too long)
If it is to replace my current "company car", a new model then, those that I was including as future possibilities are Suzuki Swift, Citroën C2 VTS, or - if they force me to take a Diesel and/or a VW - a VW Polo.
If I can have a bigger car it would rather be a Volvo C30 or Honda Civic (the Ufo-like one )
