I don't do big heavy boats any longer, my X craft and Neptune will fit in the boot easily, and the Akula goes in an angle quite easily.
What surprised me was just how nippy it is for a 1.2litre three cylinder engine with an automatic transmission...it's not in the same class as my old Scorpio was, but it should be a lot less of an alcoholic. The steering is nice and light, ideal for my arthritic wrists, and with the dead man's handle on the wheel, parking should be totally effortless.
Working on the car isn't going to be a problem for me...I don't touch it. Servicing, maintenence, insurance, road tax, one set of tyres in the three years, breakdown and recovery, is all in the Motability package. For less than £250 per month, that's not bad in my book...
