Can you recommend a car with easy access?
I am getting on in years and am not as flexible as I was. As a result I need to get a newer car with a higher riding position for access and egress. Will the SEAT Altea XL fulfil these requirements?

The SEAT Altea XL is a stretched Altea. Still a five-seater but with increased luggage space. I'd also look at a Mazda 5 and a Ford C-Max. They are all 'walk-in' cars, best with flat unbolstered front seats.

Longer than standard Altea. Very roomy inside and a huge boot. Decent amount of kit. Excellent crash test rating.

Neat styling. More practical than a Ford Focus. Fine blend of ride comfort, handling and driver enjoyment. High-quality interior.
