New powerchair and car

I'm coming into a little money soon, and am biting the bullet and buying myself a powerchair (and a new car, if the chair I choose doesn't fit into my Peugeot 206SW, plus hoist or other easy way I can load the chair myself into the car)
Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd be looking about 3k for a chair and about 10k if it's a chair/car combo.
I'm not a FT wheelchair user but my mobility is becoming more limited (I *can* walk but it causes pain and random dislocations) and I'd like to use the cash I'm getting in a way that could mean I'm able to do more.

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all :beer:

I've got a Foldawheel compact powerchair. http://wheelchair88.com/product/pw-999ul/
It was shipped from Malaysia but arrived in about a week. It cost me around £1900 with 2 batteries. I'm very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone. If it has one problem, it's that it has virtually no lumbar support, so you'll need some sort of cushion.
It's so compact, it fits in the boot of my Saloon car, though I'm going to switch to an SUV so I can get a hoist installed.0 -
