Which small MPV would suit an elderly driver?
My mother (mid 70s) needs an automatic car to replace her 2007 Volkswagen Golf. She finds it easier to get out of SUV type cars now than hatchbacks. I suppose a MPV might do.
A Nissan Qashqai is probably too big. She has always had new cars and I think she would prefer another new car if possible. I estimate her budget to be £15-18k. Any suggestions as to where to start looking?

A Ford B-Max Powershift probably makes the most sense, but look for a discount. Don't ever pay full list price for a Ford.
