Phil the adventurer asked:

Car drove head-on into my car at night but admitted his fault – only I suffered any serious injuries plus trauma. Now walk with sticks but have less movement in right ankle. I’ve only just returned to office work after 4 months physio. I now need to face driving again soon to regain confidence. My employer provides a car (or cash) what should I get? I’m aged 50, driving for 30+ years. Only drive 15 miles a day but loved longer UK trips at week-ends and holidays. Wife will need to share driving, but she hates BIG cars. No kids to consider but like large boot for wife’s luggage! Would a small MPV be more suitable than hatchback? One suggestion has been Ford C-Max small MPV with its higher seat position and its award for solving back posture problems which I also have plus better road visibility and cruise control; automatic may suit? Any evidence I can show employer will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your help – big hurdle to face, was very fit but now limited mobility.
