I asked AI to design me a car
"Design me a car - it must be practical reliable cheap fast economical and good looking"
It came up with :
What do you think?
it looks like a new Astra

That's actually a really good looking concept.
The front is more Teslaish IMO, with a bit of … I think it's the Ferrari SUV I'm thinking of, to the headlight lenses
Rear and door flairs definitely the Astra
That is really cool whichever way you look at it

My father had an MG Metro Turbo … that thing was terrifying. Extremely 'twitchy' on corners, really wasn't for the faint hearted. A lot of people hated the shape of the Metro and whilst it wasn't the most beautiful car … it had a certain something IMO

How about compact 5 door hatchback 3.9 metres long

Here's my take on a cheap electric 2 seater sports roadster - the Vista
This one would sell in huge numbers - especially under £30k

Rear electric drive (unique) to keep the front low and aerodynamic
Alloy bodywork for weight saving
Would you buy one ?

And here it is in British Racing Green

Ford and Kia are two different manufacturers.
Do you mean a Kia Sportage? They aren't a small car if so.

Here's a combination of my car design and a music track that I also wrote……

I am guessing either a Ford Puma or a Kia Picanto - both good cars !

Not sure I'd agree there. Lot of engine and gearbox faults with the Puma.
Don't know anything about the current Picanto, think I'd need one of those for each foot. 😀

The Kia Sportage is available with an automatic gearbox. But the advance payment is much higher. £2500 to £4000. Only the manual version is £200 AP.

Can't go wrong with a KIA. I've had my Cee'd for 6 years, only failed 1 MOT and that was a coil spring which went 3 days before so didn't have time to change it, everything else has been advisories which I've corrected before the next MOT (edit … actually I lied …I had to change a brake caliper after it seized … but overall I don't think I've spent £600 on parts and consumables in 6 years)
The South Koreans not only make fantastic food but their cars really stand the test of time
Their cousin Hyundai make one of the best cars I've driven. The i30N (my daughters)
I know a couple of people with the Sportage and the only cons they've noticed is the ride isn't always the comfiest, plus the engine can feel a bit underpowered at times … but not enough to make them switch

You can see all of the cars available on Motability through their website here.
Car search results | Motability Scheme
You can use the filters to see automatic only. And you can choose specific brands as well. It's best to choose a brand with a dealership close to your location.
Also worth noting choices are more restricted for under 25s. I know that's not a problem for you, but if anyone driving the car will be under 25 that is important.

Do you want a petrol or electric car ?
Do you have charging facilities for an electric car, or are you willing to charge it at a charge point at greater cost ?
Unfortunately - the only straight forward Petrol, Automatics available on Motability at under £250 downpayment are a Vauxhall Corsa, a Kia Picanto and a Kia Stonic !
NOT much choice

How many miles will you be driving in one journey and how many people will you need the car to carry ?
Wheelchair ?
Also - do you have charging facilities (ie a private car parking space) - if you chose an electric car ?
0 -
If you want to impress people - I would say either a Suzuki eVitara (from £0 downpayment) or an electric mini countryman.

How about mileage ?
How far will you be going in it - locally or 100's miles ?
