I’m in the same position to Crippledad. My condition means my joints (spine included) are not formed properly and one joint not at all. I only just scrape 5’ 3” on my good leg and my other is 3 1/2” shorter.
I opted for an X1 18d SDrive in SE trim and with options, some needed, some wanted, I paid £5,300! It’s a lot of money but I’m extremely happy with it. It has std seats but added electric and I find entry/exit very good and the engine has plenty of low down punch, which to be honest is what you need. It does lose some of its torque at around 60mph but then I’ve been used to V6’s prior to this for many years. My only criticism about the SDrive is that if overtaking and accelerating quite hard, the front end/steering goes light. I don’t like this. This is the first fwd car I’ve had for many years and long gone are my days of brisk driving (honest?) and I am more than happy with the torquey diesel. It feels more powerful than my wife’s 1.6 petrol GLA but in fact they are very similar for performance, just not economy. I get 50+ mpg while I struggle to get over 35mpg in that.
? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
