Dave; have a look at the new Peugeot 208 ‘GT’ which comes with an 8-speed auto and 130 bhp. I took one for a test drive this morning. Cracking little car and an interior that easily rivals anything German!
You won’t see the Hyundai ‘N’ cars on the scheme. Too powerful for Motability alas. I quite liked the Veloster when it came out. I still see the odd one around my way. Hyundai only sold a handful of them though, so they stopped selling them in the UK altogether.
