    The i20 is in the same class as a Ford Fiesta, a not too small run around that you can take on the motorway. In a lot of the motoring reviews they put it ahead of all the cars in that category in terms of space, safety features, economy etc. There are some comments that the Fiesta is more fun to drive, which in journalistic terms means thrashing it down country roads!

    One of the best things is that the top of the line in manual is £599 AP and the automatic £200 more and they are hybrids so you get a little extra boost from the battery and can be a little greener.

    The dealer we spoke to has a disabled partner and they can put a folded wheel chair in the boot and still have the rear seats and a scooter fits with the seats down. There is a good review here of how accessible it is https://www.whatcar.com/hyundai/i20/hatchback/review/n53/motability

    The dealers, I spoke to have to quote 6 months delivery but because the cars are made in Turkey arrive a lot sooner, typically 4 months which fits in nicely with the way Motability works by allowing you to order 3 months before the end of the lease.  So at most you could have to extend for a few months which typically isn’t a problem.

    I can see this being a real favourite with MB customers looking for a small, accessible, easy to park car
