My Gran currently has a 2005 City Rover, my Grandpa and her having had Rovers all their lives. The City Rover was brought from new to last forever. The alternator has now broken, in the process leaving Gran stranded and removing her confidence in the car. In repair it appears that new parts for City Rovers are very hard to source and also expensive in relation to the value of the car. Secondhand parts are the viable alternative but there is no reassurance they will be better than the broken part. So we now are looking to replace the City Rover and ask what would your suggestion be? The main requirement is a higher driving position than the City Rover, as Gran has had two knees and one hip replacement. We want a new or nearly new car of similar size, manual, petrol, five doors an advantage, for an annual mileage of 5000 per year on Cornish roads. Safety and the feel of a car is also important.
