    I hate questionnaires too, can't help you with choosing a car apart from don't choose a colour that looks like a fresh turd, to my dismay I've see one or two about with that colour . I'd go for yellow then it would make playing Yellow Car (as in Cabin Pressure) more interesting

    We’re going to the garages Saturday. I know I’ll be exhausted from Friday but I have to get this car sorted ASAP.

    Mike, unfortunately (maybe fortunately) motability cars have very limited colour choices. It’s looking like whatever car we get will be white
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    There’s limited cars available on the motability scheme and these 2 are the only ones suitable for us - ie estate cars big enough for the wheelchair and Polo, when we have to take both (polo needs a lot of height and depth to avoid being stressed out)

    Sorry, I won’t have a Vauxhall. Even if I did, the only available ones are Astra’s. The list of cars changes every 3 months

    A quick look at the motobility website it says there's 2000 vehicles on the scheme, Skoda is a good choice as it was taken over by VW, unlike when my dad had a Skoda 25+ years ago when you got jokes like, Question: "What do you call a skip with a roof?" Answer: A Skoda

    Yes, Mike, but you need to filter out a lot. In my case I need an estate (NOT SUV), automatic, petrol, with rear view camera, and without me paying thousands in an advance payment, which meant we were left with less than 5 cars - and I won’t have an Astra.

    I suppose in a way, limited choice means it is easier to choose???
    Choosing between 4 has to be easier than choosing between 2000?
    Hope you find something right for you..... even if it is the colour of turd
