    @Tillyman the Elroq was on the list but left the scheme.  However, its place remains should it return.  Thanks for the advice re suspension, it’s good to know.

    that’s the problem with Mercedes, a relatively basic equipment list but lots you can pay more for.  The decision is whether you want that better build over the toys.

    Here’s what bugs me though (getting at nobody in particular) the Motability scheme is painted as people not working getting a car either for free or heavily subsidised, yet it’s perfectly acceptable for working people to get up to 45% subsidy on their car just because they want a better car than they can afford.  I struggle to think why it’s unaffordable to have disabled people getting a car with a benefit they’d still get while giving a CEO or banker 45% of his monthly payments on the Porsche or Maserati?  Why can earning a quarter of a million a year and getting government assistance with buying your car be right?  It’s not like they couldn’t afford one anyway.
