What relatively small, wheelchair accessible vehicle could I get for £10,000?
My father-in-law recently returned home after nine months in hospital following a spinal cord injury. He's now wheelchair bound and needs a wheelchair accessible vehicle. The vehicle needs to be as small as possible (my 68 year old mother-in-law would be frightened of driving anything much bigger than a super-mini). Budget will be around £10,000 for a good used vehicle. Any recommendations please?

If you mean something into which a wheelchair can be driven, they don't come smaller than Citroen Berlingo size. I haven't seen anything as small as a Nemo with a wheelchair ramp. Alternatively, if you mean a car where he will sit in the passenger seat with the wheelchair loaded separately, then the best choice is a Honda Jazz that has fold up rear seats so the wheelchair can be stores in the centre of the car.

Unrivalled practicality and versatility. Plenty of room for four adults to travel in comfort. Surprisingly fun to drive, especially 1.5 i-VTEC Sport.
