Can you recommend a hybrid car with easy access?
I have a 2016 plate Fiesta Titanium automatic. For health reasons it has become too low to get in and out of the car easily and without pain. I have been driving cars with an automatic gear box for many years and this suits me well.
Are you able to give me suggestions of any cars that you think I should be looking at? I am open to hybrid engines but could not manage the charging problems of a fully electric car. I would prefer 4/5 doors because I need passengers to have easy access to the back seats.
The second question is about the possible value I could get on my present car so that I can work out how much capital I would need to use to buy a more comfortable car within the next year. My present Fiesta has mileage of about 20,000 and is fully dealer serviced since I bought it when it was less that a year old.

First of all, we'd recommend looking at the latest Honda Jazz. It's a hybrid car with easy access, a higher-than-normal seating position and lots of interior space. Alternatively, take a look at small SUVs like the Volkswagen T-Roc. This guide might be useful: www.honestjohn.co.uk/guides/best-small-suv/
