Ramps at the back. :?

I take it you haven't got a three seater bench at the back. [-(

You say the ramps are at the back, so I assumed WAV punters got in via the rear. My point is I can't see how the wheel-chair will fit in at the back behind the bench seat. :?

i see! well it the long wheelbase version of the shuttle which gives loads of space for wheelchair and luggage!
the bench seat also folds down for more space!

ok, done just over 30,000 mls no problems to report, still drives like a new vehicle, if yours is as good as mine you will be very happy, theres still no rattles etc, last service cost me £180 but that was a full service and inspection, the 130hp has more than enough power especially on hills (will put an Octavia to shame) the torque is impressive. Im still on my second set of tyres and break pads the Goodyear tyres are lasting better and are quieter than the Michelins, will let you know if I get any probs.
