                        You could look at a crossover SUV like a Honda HR-V or Suzuki Vitara. They have slightly higher driving seats with easy access. If you'd prefer something smaller, consider a Honda Jazz.

                Highly practical and versatile thanks to ‘magic’ seats. Strong i-DTEC diesel engine.
            
            
        
            
                Unrivalled practicality and versatility. Plenty of room for four adults to travel in comfort. Surprisingly fun to drive, especially 1.5 i-VTEC Sport.
            
            
        
            
                Spacious interior. Feels like it's built to last. Economical engines including hybrid power from 2022.
