Need an automatic car, with easy assess for elderly driver
My father is 80 and completely fit and able. However, he does find getting in and out of his current car increasingly tricky. I have suggested that we swap it for something smaller, bit higher and with wide doors.
It would have to be automatic, economical, reliable and comfortable. I have suggested we look at Ford B-Max, small Hyundais or Kias. Have you got any suggestions?

Good thinking. I'd also include the Suzuki Splash 1.2 auto and Vauxhall Agila 1.2 auto, now out of production but there may still be a few unregistered and nearly news around.
