WRONG...my 78yr old mother has real problems getting into the subby they bought a couple of years ago. she does like the seat that will adjust in hight but getting in an out really are a problem. not sure if a small suv will be better since she has a problem getting into dads ford ranger too. mom has bad knees and hips and all kinds of issue with arthritis

there is a reason many old ladies drive olds-mo/Buick's....they are easy to get into and easy to drive if they can see over the dash
