New Car......HELP!!!!!As some of you know, I have a motability car, and it's now due for renewal. I've had it 3 years and it goes back on 26th May, but I have to pick my new one now  . I'm stumped as what to get! I have a Citroen Xsarra Picasso just now, which I do like, but there are just so many of them on the road now . I've been looking at the Fiat Doblo and the Renault Kangoo. Granted they aren't the best looking cars on the road, but I need something high up so I dont have to bend to get into it,and also with room for my walking stick! I did want a diesel engine, but would have to pay an advance payment of £295 for that, so we won't be going down that road , and I'm also trying to get a car with a good MPG rate. Anyone know much about these cars??

I have had 2 kamgoos, changed it recently for a 4 wheel drive, they are brilliant cars, quite high and really fuel efficient, very comfortable too...you can get a diesel 19 engine too.Mine had air con, cd player, sun roof everything a car would have, and they have just brought out a new design Kangoo...I loved mine, but needed a 4 wheel drive for the weather up here... |

How exciting getting a new car Alex! Hubby has a Fiat Doblo van for work and he loves it. Hubby says it's not bad on MPG but his is a deisel engine, I have to admit that at the side of my Freelander it is very smooth and easy to drive although I struggle with the clutch, it's so different from the Freelander. Hubby would certainly recommend the Doblo to you. |

I am looking forward to it Fran! I love that new car smell, lol! I have been leaning towards the Doblo, but Mags you've now put me towards the Kangoo, lol, so I'll just have to go and have a proper look at both of them! |

Could you test drive them both Alex? |

They are very similar, the kangoo is higher, but the Doblo is wider, so i really depends what you need.... |

I'll get to test drive them both, but as my local Fiat dealership doesn't do motability, I would have to go to Shrewsbury to do that one. I'm thinking of going to my local branch and asking if I can do the test drive there but go to Shrewsbury if I decide on that one! Thanks Moli. A wider one would be better for me. |
