What small car with a low boot threshold?
Discussion
My sister has an ex-racing greyhound.
This dog knows nothing about the concepts of voice commands, stairs, or jumping into cars.
It tries to run full pelt at her Corsa boot with the expected results. We have tried over the years to get it to jump in but to no avail.
It has to be lifted in and out like a princess. Crazy, I know.
My sis has health issues with join pain so lifting the dog is a pain.
What small, cool cars are there with low boot thresholds - her current 07 corsa is high.
She has looked at Vx Mokka, Ford Ecoboost, Nissan Note.
These are all a little "OAP" - my sis is 37.
Are there any funkier small cars with low boots? Oh has to be 5 door, as the shopping can't go in the boot. Oh and low tax banding.

We have just bought a new car for Mrs Oversteery and moving our ageing retired racing greyhound was a key requirement. Whilst less funkier than desired a 16 plate Honda Jazz Si isn't too bad. the back seat bottoms lift up and the dog goes in the back rather than boot. Very low sill/entry and it means Mrs O can keep all here work stuff in the boot out of sight.This dog knows nothing about the concepts of voice commands, stairs, or jumping into cars.

Buy a folding ramp and lay a trail of treats up it the first time - hey presto, self loading dog.
Our one is like this - good quality, very durable and with decent non-slip:
