Many cars are fairly low and take a bit of manoeuvring on my part to get in and out without causing pain to my hips. I took a taxi some time ago, and usually they are regular cars, but this particular one was higher (like a small SUV), making it so easy and comfortable for a person with disabilities, I complimented the driver on his choice of vehicle. He told me that when he picks up passengers from a nearby retirement home, the passengers there are delighted with his taxi as they find it far easier to get in and out of than a regular car. His taxi is now a bit hit with the home’s residents, and I can certainly understand why. I was taken out yesterday in a car that was considerably higher than our car, and again I found it a pleasure, so easy getting into the passenger seat and getting out of the car was a synch. If you are about to get a new car, take the height into consideration, as it really does make a difference.
