Hi Shaz, yeh, the car I have at the mo is a little 106 thats about 12 yrs old. It feels like a tank! (Well to me anyway lol). I had a drive of my mum n dads relatively new car the other day and OMG! The steering was amazing. Only had to breathe on it lol!

Does anyone else struggle with driving?

Yes, when im unwell, I bought a new Altea, automatic is the way to go, like driving a Bumper car lolol.....I aldready bought my car, and then my ¦DLA was highest rate, I think its a great idea to tuse that money Verity to get U a decent new car, no servicing, how good is that, every three years they change it to another new one...if and when I need to do that I will...goood luck with that, also btw, if there is a car that u want, but it s a bit more expensive, U can add to the DLA benefit, most garages do this arrangement....goood luck...automatic for me is the easiset way to drive,

Hi Jill, I was thinking about the Citroen Nemo Multispace as it has boot doors like a van rather than a hatchback (I cant use the boot on my car now coz cant reach high enough to close it!). Cant wait to start looking properly (Gonna wait til after hols at end of feb) do some test drives etc. I need something higher off the ground than most too. The agila looks good : )

I thought about automatic but we have severe hills round here that need to be taken in 1st all the way lol
