Today, we went to look at and hopefuly test drive the new Tuscon Ultimate and the Peugeot 3008 GT as we can order our next car as of yesterday.
The Tuscon was tricky for my wife to access the passenger seat as there is a raised lip which she found difficult to get her leg in, so no test drive.
The 3008 was worse, as there is the bonnet catch sticking out, so it was more trickier to get in and out of.
I am so frustrated as we looked at the Qashqai Tekna + and it was perfect in every way, to the light door and access and egress, however, as we all know they have taken this off the scheme so I cannot order one.
I currently have a Kuga Titanium X Edition so the next plan of attack is to look at the new Kuga ST Line X but I am not holding out much hope, being honest.
The car has to be fit for purpose, access and egress and to accomodate a full size wheelchair.
I can see us extending the lease and hope this situation doesn’t get any worse with cars coming off the scheme at an alarming rate.
Come on Motobilty, please can you try harder with manufacturers to keep cars on the scheme and not every disabled person needs the same out of a car, circumstances are very different.
Rant over!
Current car 2019 Ford Kuga 1.5T Titanium X Edition (White)
On order new Vauxhall Grandland Ultimate 1.2 Turbo (Ruby Red)

Sue – I’m so sorry to hear about all of your challenges. I have two adult children and I worry about them both, even though they are in good health! In spite of everything that you are facing you sound like an extremely sensible and measured person, so I’m sure that you will have no issues with getting what you genuinely deserve.
Although PIP is a dirty word for most people, there was a lot of abuse under DLA and things needed to change. However, many disabled people find the PIP process overwhelming and that’s not right. Clearly you aren’t one of them though, so if you want a new car then I wouldn’t be worrying about ordering one. How long you will wait for the car is another matter!
