    Second car I got I needed a grant, gave them a list of suitable cars and they came back with a Nissan Micra and Qashqai (mk1), neither on my list. Told them I was 6′ 6″ with mobility problems and they insisted I go to the garage and try to get into them.  Nissan dealer wasn’t particularly helpful when I explained, couldn’t even get into the Micra!, head was jammed into the roof of the Qashqai with the seat as far down as it would go!.

    So rang Motability from the garage and explained and was told that someone in the office was 6′ 4″ and he could get into a Qashqai.  Ended up having to put the salesman on the phone to confirm I didn’t fit!.

    Ended up with a very nice Honda CRV which was perfect, I got a grant towards the AP for that luckily and kept it for 5 years.

    Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
