Mobility scheme

I was 22 weeks for my current car, which i got last November. I could have received it in half that, but didn't want any of the garish colour schemes!

I didn't think to mention but my car was made in South Africa. It makes sense to look for one made here if you are in a hhurry.

Frightened to admit what mine is, can't even believe it is available through Motability.

Ohh I love it!! They are probably jealous due to the car you have. 😂 Mine is the 1.0 litre because my daughter drives it and she's not 25 until next January so I was limited with my choices.

My previous car was a Toyota Corolla which was also low down and a small boot so I know what you mean about that. My new car makes it so much easier to get in and out of.

I saw a 54 plate VW Phaeton 6.0 for sale, it was about 440bhp. The thing is, for all the grunt, it was still slower than my car.

If you had £80,000 for a motor, would it be a VW? (What Phaeton cost new).

I think a Chevrolet Corvette circa1971 would do me!

This was last June, so i forget. It wasn't the car colour, it was the interior. I am not kean on a bright red dash!

Now that is low down. Probably unsuitable for most of us here!

The thing is, I had to pay a large sum to the dealer, well, Barclaycard did. This is a one-off, will be back to sensible if I even get another car. My mobility is fine most of the time.

I got the Hyundai Ioniq 6 Ultimate, I regret doing it because I paid a huge advance having just got my back dated pay and then even had to pay extra to get the car sooner so as not to have to wait 6 months. (As I have discovered with my new car, this is a bit of a scam the salesman use on people).

I love my Ioniq 6, which is fully electric, but it is too big and no longer suits my needs, the supposed charge point at my residence was disallowed because there is a verge of Council grass in front of the house, Motability and their contractor find any reason not to install a free charge point, and before even coming up with this excuse the contractor was already telling me they didn't have capacity for an assessor to visit, when they found an excuse, they very quickly shot the whole charge point down in flames.

Because I have to charge locally without a home charge point I have to use a rapid charger and with the cold weather, electric does not do well in cold weather both for charging and for economy, because of no home charge point I have to pay 85p per kwh instead of 7p per kwh and sitting at a charge station with no facilities is no joke.

I am thinking of changing my car to a hybrid, self charging, either on Motability or not, I feel as if I am driving around with all this extra space I don't need and don't use, boot is too small and impractical for a wheel chair and I have some other issues getting in and out of the car, thought of getting modifications, but actually I would rather own the car if I got those.

I have spoken to Motability and they have agreed that it is ok to change it, despite it only being a year since I got it, but finding something else that suits my needs is difficult.

Thinking of a Renault Espirit Alpine, it costs about £25k new, not worth it on Motability, tried test driving it, but struggled with the accelerator, feels like a clutch pedal on the automatic?
