Same thing here, going back onto Motability (as soon as my Tiguan is here) and get the same moronic comments about how I can afford a “big new posh car”. Had those ever since I became disabled and got my first Motability car (Ford C-Max), even from people I considered friends at the time. Unfortunately some people are just remarkably ignorant (that’s my nice word for them!).
Why do I have a “big car”? well being just over 6′ 5″ with multiple joint problems and having a 6′ 3″ Autistic adult son who most times sits in the rear so people don’t see him we need all the room we can get!!.
I still get the odd comment now and again like “Oh, you’re getting the R-Line, isn’t that the most expensive?” Well almost, but the version I ordered is the cheapest diesel one they do, it has heated sets for my hips/lower back, key fob/foot opening for the boot and an all round camera as I can’t fully turn my head to park. And of course JCT were offering it with £600 off the AP so almost half the price of the equivalent Ford Kuga 🙂
All that being said I still got comments when I bought a used Honda Jazz!, still not sure how I managed to get in it but it was actually quite roomy!.
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
