That looks as thought it might be easier to get in and out of - the doors are bigger and come further forward so you can sit down then swing your feet in rather than having to post yourself like a letter  |

what is wrong with the one you have now , I thought, when I looked at a new car recently that the yeti had more room than a meriva I looked at both and have ended up going for a Fiat qubo, which suits my needs far better and is cheaper to run ( diesel auto and approx 70 mpg) |

I wasnt on crutches when I got roomster  and not enough room really for them in the front without smackign yaself and struggling plus the position I sit HAVE to sit in to drive is now causing pain as seat isn't height adjustable - plus the front on the Roomster is very low  We with only Skoda dealer in our area too right now that does Motability and they are CRAPPY since they sold out so need to move to a better dealership Plus with having Tia we need more space and easier access Seeing Meriva Weds AM and will go from there - Zafira is a possibility too but Meriva looks better ACCESS wise |

The kwikfit call out service is a right pain
Last time I got a puncture ( split sidewall from a bad pothole, along with about 30 other drivers all fuming ) they said it would be about 6-8 hours before they get out. Ended up with RAC coming out, removing the wheel & driving me down to quickfit where they changed it & rac driving me back & refitting the wheel and that all took less than 1 hour
Many cars now don't give you a spare wheel , only a tyre inflator kit with gunge to repair a standard puncture, to enable you to drive to a repair centre or home. That is useless with a split side wall

that was one the options but given getting to nearest kwikfit can take 60 mins one way and RAC taking a while to get here actually arseing around and cancelling hossie stuff worked out quicker  If had been tomorrow Motability woulda given me hire car Problem is now on 5th different time slot in ONE day and 2 or 3 phonecalls Already lodged complaint as it aint on especially with Motability so they looking into it  |

Criminal damage is a charge that can have serious consequences for anybody who gets caught... especially if it turns out to be targeting a specific person rather than just random idiocy... |
