Impreza WRX. Why my colleague at the time selected that as a company car I have no idea. I think he just liked to be at the front of the queue, but always slowed down after that to ensure he had enough fuel to get home.

I guess he made that mistake of going for image over usability as someone else was paying, I know a sales guy who got given a BMW 316i which had the M series body kit and suspension so that it gave the "right image" to customers, before it was delivered the sales guy was reasonably excited but as soon as he got it he utterly hated it in comparison to his previous company car which had been a Citroen Xantia diesel, in comparison the BMW was uncomfortable and slower than his old Xantia and now people tried to race him all the time.
