Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It fitted my needs as a disabled driver ~ tall with a large wheelchair. With one exception 4 previous similar models had proved reliable

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful ~ had a good working knowledge of the Motability Scheme and was able to ensure that I was supplied with a vehicle suitably adapted for my needs.

What's it like to drive?

Very comfortable and easy to drive. Cruise control makes long motorway trips far less tiring, and, if it is set right no risk of getting any tickets

What's it like to park?

Because of my disability even though I find it difficult to turn very far to look over my shoulder the large windows make it easy, especially with the reverse parking sensors

Have you had any problems with the car?

With this car no.

What's most practical about your car?

Good access, plenty of room for me to load my wheelchair through the drivers door onto the passenger seat. Good load carrying capacity even with a car full of passengers

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Reverse parking warning sensors! Mileage calculator
