Help Me Choose my New Company Car
It's time to pick out a new company car for this year.
The list is what you see: I have no other choices
I need this to travel to sales meetings, transport employees
and shuttle clients to lunches etc.
I generally hate Mopars of all types.
My only real requirements are
1) have to have a functional back seat
2) must have a bluetooth phone integration or some other way to plumb my phone hands-free.
I've put my own frontrunners in the poll above.

Impala got some nice press recently, but so brand new.
Dart is cool looking but I think it is still too new to make a call on that one.
Focus would probably be my choice there.
Do you have to pay for repairs/maint or is that included?

Have you driven any of them? If you aren't paying for things that go wrong, I'd go test drive your top choices and pick based on that. My concern with 1st model year for a car is they always have some bugs to work out, but since you aren't paying...

I'm leaning towards the Fiat - I dropped in at a dealer earlier and sat in one, really nice.
to be clear - it's not the micro-car 500. It's a 4-door hatchback with the Arbath motor

That thing is ugly. Saw my first one on the road yesterday. Looks like a small Mini Countryman.
Mazda 3 Skyactiv? The new model is supposed to come out soon.
