Access considerations
1) Height of sills from the ground
2) Width of sills
3) Distance from outer edge of sill to seat - too wide makes it tricky
4) Bolster on seat - height makes it more difficult to slip on to seat
5) Door width, how wide it opens etc
6) Door handle grab
Getting in is half the problem
Getting out easily just as important.
The Arithmetic of measurements tells you something but it's literally bums on seat in/out that is the acid test.
The additional problem is that, in he last 28 years, I have only bought 1 brand new car that was not Japanese and that was a disaster. I find myself struggling with a handful of brands as I exclude UK, French, Italian, German brands
I have had some 40+ brand new cars since the early 1960s (Some company, some for wife/children) and it is only in the last 28 years have I found what a reliable car is - Japanese!.
