:) Please help...does anyone know of a car that's very light and easy to handle? I am disabled and my car is a Nissan Note. I find the doors very heavy to close and the steering quite sluggish. It is a good car..just too heavy for me. I have children with me a lot, so safety is a big consideration with me too. Does my perfect car exist?

Have a look at a Honda Jazz. Three of my friends have bought these over the last couple of years, and are very happy with them. (I would add that one of them lost their spare keys, and Honda did quote a very high price for replacements as they have to be coded.)

Yes it does,

i am also disabled and have recently bought a peugeot 1007 for my daily commute to work ..it has electric doors (open from a button on the dash or with the key fob, very easy to enter and exit, being a 3 door no worries with children getting out on their own and comes with a semi auto gearbox and powered elecrtic steering,
a great little car cheap insurance, road tax and great on fuel,
hope this helps check it out i'm sure you will love it

Yea! we are both disabled as well, and I found our latest car the Renault Modus, really easy to steer and the driving position is so adjustable as well. This is great for my damaged back, as I cant sit in one position for long.

Its a nippy wee thing as well, easy to park. One thing I have noticed though with the Mobility scheme, the choice of smaller cars, without deposit, is getting smaller:(
