I'd recommend a nice little astra twin top... looks superb, and I think its about the same size as the old rover.
They are on the motability scheme this summer, and although the roof does fold up into the boot, theres still enough room for the chair, so I believe anyway.
I'd cehck it out for yourself though. It looks fking cool.

The BMW 1 series in the best small car in the world, it is the only one with rear wheel drive in its class for that perfect 50/50 weight distribution. IMHO. Unbiased of course. regards M |

BMW 1 series are good if you don't want anyone sitting in the back.

Second that. Smooth, efficient, reliable and well priced. Couldn't be more pleased with mine. |

He will even deliver it to your door, right up there in whereveritis-shire. I had a motor off him recently, & he was as good as gold, blew smoke up my butt for days, but he did me well proud. |

I wouldn't get a Beemer, Iron. Not if you ever want to get out of busy junctions again.
Polo's are nice little cars but you don't get many in automatic. You'd probably get a decent Astra in auto though, the Focus is a nice auto too. If you want something like the old R25 - Get an MG ZR, they are great value, you'll still get a warranty from a decent dealer and they are nippy... You'll be let out of junctions too & nobody will mouth "Barclays Banker", or words to that effect, as you cruise by.
