The right car to suit your needs will depend on how your mobility is affected by your condition, and also your budget. We would suggest looking at a medium sized SUV as the raised ride height and seating position should make entry and exit easier, and look for a car with a comfortable ride and supportive seats. You may wish to consider cars such as the Volvo XC40 and XC60, the Skoda Karoq, and the Lexus NX or RX.
