Can you recommend a hatchback with an easy access boot?
My wife wants to change her car. she needs a 'flat' boot like the Ford B-max she currently has. Can you recommend a similar small or smaller hatchback without a 'lip' that she has to lift shopping etc over?. Plus the sliding doors are very heavy and difficult for her to open.

Take a look at the Honda Jazz. There's a very small lip for lifting items over but access is pretty low to the ground. The rear seats can be dropped flat or their bases can be flipped up to provide space for tall items. It's a very versatile little car and was voted the most practical car by car owners in the latest Honest John Satisfaction Index.
