seating

Looking for a car suitable for elderly person with back trouble i.e. easy to get into, with high seating, but not too high so as have to climb into?

Trevor, Kilkenny

I'm tall and have a bad back - can you suggest car types that have seat adjustment and plenty of head room to give some degree of elevation as well as support? I don't want to go over a 1,400cc engine.

I'm looking to upgrade my car. I need something to hold six people comfortably and to be fuel efficient, as I do 25,000km a year. I also need it to have boot space with all seats up as I need to fit hoist and collapsible wheelchair... I won't be carrying six all the time but need it to suit and be safe... All suggestions welcome.

Mt wife suffers with back problems. She is driving a SEAT Ibiza 1.2 (2007 60,000 on the clock) and complains that the driver's seat is too low and does not support her back sufficiently. I have looked at a 2012 Mazda2, price €13,750 for which the garage would want €10,000 as a trade-in deal. What is your opinion on the Mazda? On the offer? Can you suggest a better alternative vehicle?

Many thanks

Peter.

Is the new Mercedes-Benz CLA back seating smaller than in the C-Class?

Hi, with number three on the way I am looking for a family car with three isofix points. With our first child being five I am wondering if an isofix booster seat without sides is sufficent for her. Our other child is almost three and will be in a Maxi Cosi Ferofix seat, with the one on the way destined to be in a Brittax seat once out of his baby seat.

Where can I get top quality car seat covers for my people carrier (Ford S-Max)?

Is it possible to add an Alcantara sports seat into my new Volkswagen Golf Edition-R? If so, how much would VW charge?

Reason I'm asking is that I'm finding the "Comfort" seats quite uncomfortable and after two months on the road I still cannot find a comfortable driving position. The main issue is the side supports on the seat are too far apart. As I'm fairly thin, my back tends to move side to side a lot when turning etc. no matter what position the seat is in. It's driving me mad. My old BMW had sports seats and I never had this problem. It's detracting from what is an otherwise excellent car. I cannot find any seat cushions for my back that will help me fit more snugly. It's gotten to the point where I'm willing to shell out a few hundred if necessary to get a sports seat put in.

Any help appreciated!

I want to get orthopaedic seats for my 2005 Yaris, like Recaro. Is this possible in Ireland?
