    With regard to the VW PDF price list it has been updated mid quarter to take out the models that are no longer on Motability. Although unusual for them to do updates I think they had no choice as many, including myself, would have been going to VW dealers to make orders on cars that are not available to us.

    Motability search engine I find very frustrating as I search for motors that have space for my scooter and the only way to do that is search for motors with plus 7 seats even though the seats 6 and 7 don’t get used. It sort of works but noted that someone said about motors that are 5 seats but have the boot of a 7 seat car but unless someone where to say what motors they are I would disregard them. The VW Touran was such a car that came in 5 or 7 seat configurations but the 5 seat, and assuming cheaper one, was not available on Motability.

    Another thing I would like to see in the search engine is the ability to set and save a preference for instants like automatic gearbox, number of seats, fuel type etc. so I don’t have do all the tick boxes every time I search and as things are at the moment, that’s more or less every hour, or so seems like.?

    Mind you it gets easier as more and more cars get withdrawn because soon we will be down to searching for two cars, one auto and one manual.?
