Hi all!
I've joined the group to ask for people's advise - currently recovering from broken spine (skydiving VERY hard landing) and am ready to return to driving. I previously drove my Berlingo work van most days. We still own a BMW 1 Series, but I'm still struggling to get in and out. So, I'm tempted by a B Max as I'm looking for a car with:
a higher seating position for both driver and passenger
petrol - fed up with uncertainty over diesel values/restrictions etc, 1.0, 123bhp appears to be best option
Sliding doors look useful for getting dogs out easily
Fold flat seats and front passenger seat - want something I can use in the same way as my van for tip runs etc.
I'd appreciate your advise on:
Faults reported on earlier models
Body roll
15, 16 or 17""� wheels - any issues with firmer ride on larger alloys?
Real MPG from a 1.0 125bhp model - 40 ish?
Having spent lots it time online researching possible cars the B Max seems to tick most of the boxes, but I'm trying to get a real opinion rather than the very mixed views by magazine reviews.
Thanks everyone.
