The 5008 is a great car and the accolades levied on it by the motoring press the world over are telling you no lies about how good the car is. The Allure model we tested with the 1200cc 130bhp engine piloted me around in comfort and with great economy. The trick the 5008 has is its extra two seats in the boot. Admittedly they are not well suited for adults but they are comfortable to sit in and strangely they are given map reading lights as a goodwill gesture over the missing leg room. They also have a 12v socket and a cubby hole storage unit.
Motoring nurse or medical motorist? It's a difficult one. By day l nurse and by night l drive.
Fingers have always been grease deep in attending the motoring of an ageing fleet. And now l write about new and old.
