I need a car with a high driver's seat but not an SUV - what would you suggest?
Can you please tell me some cars (not SUV's) that have a high drivers seat as I struggle to lower myself into a car seat?

If you are not keen on an SUV you could look at MPVs that have a high seating position, such as the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, Ford C-MAX or Volkswagen Touran.
