Yes that would be the way we could use the drive space. Only other option being a sliding door but wouldnt be a car then i guess

As mentioned, possibly a sliding door. Doesnt need to be doblo (hopefully not)

Not sure why you bring up the Doblo, you certainly can’t ’walk in’ from the rear. You’d have to duck down and clamber over the rear seats before squeezing between the front seats then finally try and post your feet and legs down between the steering wheel and the driver’s seat. That may be easier to do in a Doblo than in a Golf, but still very awkward!. How wide exactly is the space?.

If the Doblo is like the Berlingo and its stablemates then, at least in some trim levels, it might be possible to make access easier by removing the centre seat. A wheelchair converted version may be easier too.

A few 'van derived cars' have sliding rear doors but aside from a short-lived Peugeot city car a decade or so ago I cannot think of anything with a sliding driver's door.

Without knowing what the OP needs from the car it’s difficult to make suggestions, even if we do find out the width of the drive. But, making a couple of assumptions, first being that the Doblo in question is the current shape (which has been around since 2009), second is that the Doblo will fit in this drive without the mirrors being folded in. Excluding the mirrors, the Doblo is indeed 1832mm wide, but including them, it is 2119mm.

So if my second assumption is correct, that means the OP could put a Kia Picanto in there, mirrors folded, parked tight against the wall, and have at least 500mm clearance to get out.

If the OP only uses the car in town, doesn’t need more space than it offers, and if he could find one, a Mitsubishi i, is 120mm narrower than the Picanto. There was an electric version of the i, also available badged as either a Citroen or Peugoet.
