What car for my Dad?
My 83 year old Dad has finally come to the conclusion he needs to trade in his very low to the ground Mercedes and get a car that is easier to get in and out of.
He is disabled and walks with a stick so needs a car with a lot of leg room and that is possibly higher off the ground than the average car.
In a few years time he may need a wheelchair so a car with a boot to accommodate this would be an advantage. He only does short trips, is happy to have diesel or petrol.
We are looking at second hand and not expensive. What do you suggest?

Neat styling. More practical than a Ford Focus. Fine blend of ride comfort, handling and driver enjoyment. High-quality interior.
