Passenger side access

[manofkent]

At year end will be replacing my wife's 307SW, Motability car and need something with better access for her. Am considering either 3008 or Partner Teepee (outdoor). Does anyone have an opinion. She, (my wife that is ) will be having a full replacement of her left hip soon, so good access on front passenger side will be paramount.

The 3008 should be easiler to get in and out of because of the higher seating position. Also check out a 5008.

I'm registered disabled by virtue of a loss of function in one arm, and I'm binning my otherwise wonderful 308 in favour of a 3008 so there'll be less need for me to lever myself upwards to get in or out. A chap I know has a disabled child and he's just discarded his Honda CRV for a 3008 and he's been raving about it.

The 5008 is similar and worth considering if you have the need to carry 7 occasionally, though with 7 on board I think all the currently available engine options will have their work cut out for them.

I did have a look at 4008 & 5008 but they are much larger vehicles than we need. If we can get the wife's mobility scooter in the back (even with seats folded), It breaks down readily and used to fit in the boot of a 406, then a hatchback may be worth a look at also.

To put stuff in the back of the Partner is probably better but for passenger access it has to be a 3008.
