    Height of the car and if I can get in and out of it.

    Size of the boot and if it will fit my wheelchair and mum’s scooter.

    Electronic handbrake

    Front/rear sensors and reversing camera (restricted neck movement)

    Low to reasonable advance payment (the lower the better, anything over 1k is eek but possible if not too far over)

    Non plug in.

    Prefer diesel or (non plug in) hybrid as petrol is quite expensive to run but not a deal breaker.

    0-60 or anything else like that I’m not fussed by. Electric adjustable seats, heated seats etc would be a very handy bonus but are not deal breakers nor on the have to have list. A hands free boot would be great but I’ve managed without (by not actually using the boot and just using the back seat) before – in the 3 years I had my 5008, I opened the boot once, discovered I couldn’t close it again and didn’t repeat the experience, others of course opened it every time they got my wheelchair out.
