Suitable car post hip replacement

I am in hospital recovering from twice-done hip replacement.
When I am discharged I will be taken from hospital by a friend and need to use a car with enough distance from the the front door hinge to however far I can get the seat back. I am 6"6" tall, with long legs. So that the hip doesn't dislocate I must not bend the hip joint beyond 90 degrees.
The choice of cars is limited: Jazz, Focus, Golf, Astra, maybe Rover 75 and possibly an old Discovery.
Any thoughts please?

A Ford C-Max or Mazda 5 would be best.
