As above, i'm booking for suggestions for a medium estate with no/little lip into the load space. I'm a drummer with lower back issues so also looking for something with heated and supportive seats. I also need a manual gearbox for my son to practice with.

I know the C-Class has no boot lip but looking for more suggestions

Cheers all.

We're looking at Berlingos and the like, poss mobility as a few around cheap but without preferred. There is also a similar Fiat model. Ours is for a dog with mobility issues so easy to step into. Ugly cars but looks like they do the job.

The ever useful RIDC website is good for this sort of thing: https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-a...

...you can filter for estates with zero boot lip (which I find super useful too), as well as all sorts of other dimensions.

Most VAG estates will have no lip with the floor in the right place (some lower spec models may not have the adjustable floor so no good).

Golf/Leon/Octavia all sensible options.

What's the budget?
