Up in the air

I am nearly 78 years old and have owned a number of SAAB convertibles over the years and think they are super cars. However, I have now developed a slightly arthritic knee and hip joint and find it difficult to get in and out of my 9-3 model. Can you recommend a convertible that has higher and easier access?

The most upright convertible I can think of is the Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible. Not a current model, but there are used examples around. It came as standard with a 2.4 litre engine and 4-speed automatic transmission.
