Yeah deffo even because of covid one must insist your allowed to check things that are very important Like you wheelchair will fit or you can get in and out without any more hassle than is needed etc.
For me that also means taking the whole family along to make sure the rear is comfortable for them as well as fitting in (which not as important as it was as we one less these days).. and of course having a decent test drive. Infact in the civic my youngest daughter has sat in the front once, when i first got it. which makes the mrs very happy and the boot is a good size.
3 years is a long time to get a car and you findout the boot is not up to the day to day job and for some the list of suitable cars gets smaller and smaller as well, so sometimes going for an estate or touring maybe a good solution once you get used to being lower than in an suv, are pros and cons to both and we all different and have different needs and requirements. but it is so important to check these things and if the dealer is not helpful in that regard i’d speak above him or to motability.
I am finding though i prefer the lower driving position for the handling and alot less roll into corners as that really hurts my back more than getting into a car, those little side to side movements, all cars hurt getting into them but once i’m in then that what really matters to me. like having adaptive cruise has made a huge difference to driving longer distances as well and i could not do without it these days.
