Its like this, i have a disabled mother who allows part of her disability income for a car, this is for me to use to transport her from a to b
when she got awarded been disabled we purchased a 1.1 Citroen saxo desire 01 reg, I have to say been no trouble at all, apart from been to small.
she would like to trade in for a bigger car,
The only car i have seen to be more practical is the Peugeot 307 hdi turbo diesel
any-one with other suggestions to practicability will be most helpful
THANK YOU X X

i wouldnt of thought a clio would be big enough for a wheel chair unless you drive around with the back seats down

thats why i sugested a kangoo large sliding side door and a tall square boot

they do look like a post man pat car though

both me and mrs B have renault diesel's and have been very good (so far)

With a Pug 307 in mind, your choice of car at that size is pretty unlimited.... things like Focus, Megan, all od the Jap, midsized saloons etc... Do you specifically need wheelchair access ?

Also small MPV's are pretty good..

Kangoos are very good cars, really roomy, and reliable. Don't expect amazing build quality, but they go on forever.

If you wanted something a bit more car like, the old shape focus is a great car, very nice to drive and reliable.

I wouldn't go for the peugeot, its not all that good a car.
