What comfortable car would you recommend that's easy to get in and out of?

My wife and I are both suffering from ageing we are looking for a car which is easy to gain access and getting out. We have looked at a Skoda Kamiq, Honda Jazz and the Kia Niro. Would you have a suggestion? We want a comfortable and quiet drive as we do 2 hour drives twice weekly. We have a maxinum of £25,000.

If you can find the latest Kia Niro (launched in 2022) within budget, that would be a great choice. The hybrid model is a very efficient small SUV with easy access and comfortable seats. Otherwise, a Honda Jazz Hybrid would be a good option - it's very popular with older drivers for the reasons you mention. As a left-field alternative, take a look at a Citroen C4 - it's very comfortable and represents excellent value for money.
