I haven’t seen the c3
I have 4 caveats set down by motability themselves
1.test drive
2.7 seater
3.space for myself and seating
4.boot space for kids and practicality
I have looked at the xtrail and tested it I think it was the nconnecta I enquired about
Within the research I’ve done alongside the issues I have and requirements I need from a car
Electric tailgate
Heated seats
Decent lumbar support
The most practical is the santa fe and I understand it’s ap however the xtrail is considerable as it meets around 80% of what i would need (not want)
Just for context i have low mobility in left arm makes normal boots a pain if im myself which i can be on average 4 days per week
I have spinal damage at the l5s1 vertebrae and spinal bulges up and down the spine
The heated seats are a god send with decent lumbar support I test drove one of the electric cars for comparison that came with none of these features and safe to say it truly was not a comfortable drive but I wanted to the know the experience and practicality or lack there of for those cars
I have been advised of the grand tourney connect aswell but dealerships have stated a 1-2 year build time
I haven’t looked at anything vw but may enquire for those and look at a test drive aswell to best way up what meets my needs and discuss with the case manager when they next call
Probably only gripe i have with the website spec lists aren’t on the motab site you have to go view and 9/10 times the trim level u want to view is never available
I will update with my experience I just hope it’s as positive as it can be and will deffo look into some of the cars suggested
