Seats of this content

I love my 6-year-old Yaris automatic. But I need a small auto to carry my husband to hospital and a little higher seat. It must be a more comfortable ride as he has cancer is in his bones and he feels every bump in mine please can you help

I think that the Citroen C3 has the softest suspension in its class, but MUST be on no more than 15" wheels with a decent amount of rubber between the rims and the road.
