Small tall cars
Discussion
Hi there
My dad is struggling to get in and out of his 2014 VW Up and is looking to replace it with something which is easier.
It has to be small (ish) as parked on tight driveway and high ground clearance.
I'm thinking Suzuki Ignis, Dacia Stepway and Fiat Panda cross thingy.
Jimny would be obvious choice but they need 5 doors.
I think the Stepway is too big tbh.
Their budget is about 15k max.
Does anyone know anything else which is small and tall?
I know on modern cars you can raise the seat height but I wondered which small cars sit the highest. He has knee problems.
Thanks

I was wondering about a Skoda Roomster as back seats higher up at least, and a quick search brought up this website:

Is a database of loads of different measurements you can tinker with, so will list models that fit with whatever parameters you’re after. Seems useful.

Probably too old, but the earlier Vauxhall Agila (Suzuki WagonR shape) is small, tall and narrow.
I had one for several years and it served me very well - did nearly 100,000 miles in it and it was brilliant for carting dogs and furniture around.
We've just found and bought one for my mum (very low mileage, 2007) which is immaculate.

Same with my dad.
He's 80 now and suffers back problems and dodgy hip. For the past 6 years he's been driving a Citroën C3 Picasso which does the job. It lives in a narrow garage at dad's flat and residents must use their allocated garage rather than park in visitor spaces. It really does rule out most modern cars.
He would quite fancy changing the Citroën but there's literally nothing that's made now which suits him quite so well so I think he'll just keep it. Cars he has considered are the Ignis and the Picanto x line but neither offer the same kind of boot space as he has now.
Obviously the C3 Picasso is also discontinued.
