Motorway mile muncher with radar cruise
Discussion
Hi all,
With a new job role, my yearly mileage will be going up to 15-20k.
The company car on offer is electric and I really don't have time to hang around and wait at public chargers.
So the plan is to give it to the Mrs and take custody of her car.
It's a 2017 Skoda Octavia petrol but it's missing the bit I want. It doesn't have ACC aka adaptive/radar cruise control.
I want to replace it with something of similar size or bigger, but has to be auto with said radar cruise control.
Mpg doesn't matter within reason (35-40mpg+) as I can claim mileage back.
Needs to be ULEZ friendly
Budget is circa £6-8k
Other than a Passat of similar vintage, is there anything else anyone can recommend
Leggy RX450 SEL is even being considered

Depending on the car, £500ish may get adaptive cruise fitted, contact a few of the retrofit companies and see what they say.
I have started looking into this, but also leaning towards something with a torqueier engine in a man maths sort of wayEarthdweller said:
If the company is providing you with a vehicle to do your job why would they pay you mileage to use a different vehicle ?
It's not a company car per say, it's a lease I can get for myself or family member. Perk of the jobBe careful with radar cruise. The one on my Range Rover is brilliant BUT it locks on to cars and you slow down at times when you want to pull out and overtake. Some systems cancel the radar when you indicate to overtake but mine doesn’t. I wish it had 2 versions radar when happy to bimble and non radar when you want to bowl along at 70+ and not have it keep braking as you come up to cars.
