I wanted and tried out a VW Transportert6.1 the celing is to low for me , so ive put in for the Sprinter now . They brought 2 vans to try
WOW what vehicle , its a Mercedes sprinter a hightop crew van type i think , the motability guy asses your needs and then you wait about 12 to 16 weeks 4 a new one or less for a nearly new one , much cheaper deposit as well , i cant wait
( he was an ex driving instructor 60 ish what a real nice guy just made everything easy ) with just 4 seats 2 + 2 folding ones in the back because of the lift for my mobility scooter or powerchair . Ive driven HGV lorries , vans cars etc , but this is thing is next level you name its got it , runflat tyres . Auto everything , it is so comfortable, MBUX? System i didnt try the MBUX he just gave me a breif run through the system etc
along with the 90 minute plus assessment to find out your needs , i have to wait 2 weeks for the paper work to go through from motability hq. Then hurry up and wait lol, i dont mind though it will be nice to get back on the road , ive been unable to drive for 6 months so i can't wait , but i will have , it will be well worth if
