Which new cars are easy to get into?

Filed under: choosing new car

The question

I have a bad back and I find it very difficult getting into small cars like the Volkswagen Polo/Golf etc. I am looking to buy a new car/SUV that will be doing mostly urban/extra urban driving. I know it's a tough ask, but I am looking for something that is easy to get into and that will return decent mpg.

Hi Vincent,

 

Not that tough, these days actually. Would you consider an Opel Mokka? Not the greatest car ever made or anything but it has a higher seating position, which may help and, better still, its front seats are approved of by the Aktion Gesunder Rucken, which is the German Bad Back Association. If you don’t fancy the Mokka, I too am a bad back sufferer and I always found that the seats in the Citroen C3 Picasso were always very comfy. Worth a try at any rate.

Here are the reviews:
