If you want a brand new straight out of the box car hiring is the best option because you avoid instant depreciation.
If you're going to buy one but you want the new car smell go for an ex-demonstration job.preferably a 67 plate again to avoid instant depreciation.
The upside of hiring is everything is included in the price, the downside is you have to really be careful with it so if you're prone to kerbing the alloys, have a dog that eats upholstery or kids that puke every time they climb in it's probably not for you.

And watch out for the excess mileage charges, they can be pretty brutal.
