Good evening all,
I am a retired ex Mechanic MOT Tester , unfortunately due to a couple of Strokes and now being registered sight impaired I no longer drive but my wife does. She currently drives an 05 diesel Xsara Picasso which, despite what you hear about Fence cars, has been very reliable and she loves it.
I have recently become eligible to apply for a Motability car and given the Picasso is getting a bit long in the tooth and I have problems working on the car (due to my eyesight) I am wondering whether to lease an Arona under the Motability scheme which covers maintenance etc.
My wife likes the higher driving position of an Suv/MPV and I think the Arona may fit the bill?
Not quite sure what model / engine to go for so any advice would be welcome. Do any of them come with a jack/spare wheel? I am always wary of not having a spare after ripping a sidewall open on a Cornish country lane some years ago. A spray can would be useless in such a situation.
Thanks for any advice.
