What smaller cars have electric seats?
We currently drive a ford kuga with electrically adjustable seats. My wife has a spinal condition and so with the seat low and a huge door she can get in without bending her neck and then raise the seat to drive. The only other options four years ago were massive cars. Can you suggest an alternative to the Kuga?

If your wife has difficulty gaining access to a car then there is no substitute for experiencing them first hand to make sure they are suitable for her requirement, but a family-sized hatchback should provide enough space. Higher specification versions of these cars are available with electric seats, such as the Ford Focus Titanium X or the Honda Civic Advance, although it is worth bearing in mind that electric seats will not offer an increased range of adjustment, just the convenience of changing the seat position at the touch of a button.
