before the advent of electric cars automatics were always more expensive than manual even for private buyers, whilst i am one of those “penalised” for needing an automatic i dont attach any blame to motability, the fact is manufacturers charge more for an auto.
what do people expect motability to subsidise the price???
the government should perhaps do a grant as they do for veterans whose injuries mean they need an auto currently £660 i think but only available once in a 3 year period.
but then i suppose those that just prefer autos would moan.
