Motability cars: three standouts from the latest 2014 price list

T he new Motability cars price list for October 2014 is out and there are some snazzy additions to the line up. The Citreon C4 Cactus – it’s zany and doesn’t care who knows it. Built in bumper bags on the side are the car equivalent of brown leather elbow patches on a checked shirt, but, somewhat remarkably on a vehicle, it’s a look that works. Citreon have also played fair with the price. Get your hands on a Cactus for £199 Advance Payment, or £499 for the 1.6 diesel Automatic. Another reliable runabout causing a tremor of low-level excitement is the Ford Focus. With a range of new features this latest model is available for order now with delivery in November, and you’d be wise to sign up quick. There are a number of things right with it - too long to list. But rest assured that the best is an 8 inch touchscreen allowing you to sync your phone with music and navigation. Meanwhile The Alfa Romeo Giulietta is smouldering where it usually does: on the sexier end of the scale. Forget practicality, fuel emissions, cost or any of the standard considerations you might take into account when signing up for Motability cars – aesthetics are the main pull here. This is mid life crisis in a car.
