Yes

It's a tool, given because of the miles I do on business. The company does not class it as a perk or benefit.

BUT

Because the tax man does class it as a benefit (regardless of if I use it as such or not), I have to pay money out of my own pocket in the form of company car tax for the privilege. If it were not for the financial implication then I would be quite happy to take a Prius with the company logo all over it (and keep my existing car in the process)

Therefore if I don't use it for personal use as well it would be a good as a pay cut
