van for two disabled women

treecreeper

Alas my renault kangoo has gone to the crash haven in the sky (and good riddance, i never liked it) but that leaves identical twins with wibbly wobbly legs sort of flat in the armchairs.
I need a new van post haste and was thinking of a peurgot Vista, have i spelt that right? Not new but circa 10 or 09. not a clocked or crashed one either!
i am on a disab pension and in dublin, so wondering where i can start to look.
i drived the kangoo with automatic gears and this now is what i am used to.
would also like to switch to diesel for i believe it is cheaper anyway.
all the best in anticipation.

Hey A.

Sorry to hear about the van but at least you are still around to tell the story and smile a little about it judging by your attitude towards the whole affair

I think you will get a better answer to your question in motors section proper,this section is more the 'vroom vroom' modified type than the modified for wheel chairs,disability type. Although a wheel chair would be faster than most of the cars in here

Hope that helps.

I'd probably look at Motability Ireland for ideas. They usually stock these cars, they get them from the UK.
Caddys with a DSG box can be had too. but may be over budget.

What do you need in the back? also are you using hand controls etc as well?

It doesn't sound like you need it wheelchair accessible, just easy to step in and out of?

I assume you need something with a high instep so it's easy to get out of the car.
Maybe a Suzuki Swift or maybe better a Suzuki Vitara.
