Mike<p>Cor! What a day.<br>We went for a drive in the Hyundai Ioniq5 this morning.<br>Had a nice lunch in the sun at the cafe next to the Great Central Railway in Quorn<br>Then we went for a drive in the Ford Capri<br>This is for Sacha's next <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Motability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Motability</span></a> car as she gets <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/PIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PIP</span></a> (for now!)</p><p>TL:DR - The Ford gets it by a short head.</p><p>There was a bit too much tech on the <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Hyundai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hyundai</span></a> - made worse by them letting us loose with the version with no mirrors - only cameras. I couldn't focus on the rear view screen with my glasses, and there were odd reflections. The spec' we are interested in doesn't have these, but we'd loose the very nifty parking cameras &amp; the Heads Up Display.<br>The '<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Ford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ford</span></a> Capri (badly named - it's really a Mondeo) was much easier to adapt to, but maybe slightly less comfortable. The ride was nicer and maybe quieter but the touch buttons on the centre consol will take some getting used to. Ford is an American company which is a big minus.</p><p>So - it's the <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/FordCapri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FordCapri</span></a> for us - ordering next month.</p>
Mike<p>Tomorrow is March.<br>Sacha has a <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/motability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>motability</span></a> car lease which means that we have to change our car every three years - which is a mixed blessing.<br>There's a window between when she *can* order a new car and when she *must* have ordered one. That window opens at the end of March.</p><p>Advice we're seeing from other Motability customers is that we need to have made our choice as soon as possible before the window opens - partly because of some extremely long delivery times.<br>Of course, the complication is that the list of available cars changes at the start of April!</p><p>We've started looking at EVs and are currently smitten with the Hyundai Ioniq5, but we are going to look at the Skoda Enyaq and the badly named Ford Capri in the next couple of weeks.<br>Test drives upcoming!</p><p><a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/pip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pip</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/fordCapri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fordCapri</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Hyundai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hyundai</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/skoda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>skoda</span></a></p>
