Looking for a wheelchair-friendly small car with a hoist - any suggestions?
We need to replace our Honda Insight Motability car with something which has the capacity to transport a wheelchair 1150mm long, 710mm wide and 650mm high. We would need a hoist fitted to lift the wheelchair. It should feature automatic transmission and be as fuel efficient as possible. Do you have any ideas please?
