Winch Car?

A friend of mine is looking to replace her P-reg Micra sometime over the next 10 months or so. Her garage and drive are very narrow and so she needs a similarly compact car. It will be used primarily for local journeys. Ease of access is a priority and an automatic transmission would be helpful. However, the main consideration is the need to mount a hoist in the back so that she can lift in and out an electric wheelchair. Any guidance you can offer would be much appreciated.
