I had to sell my old RAV4 3 door due to left knee problems. Been looking for an auto with the traditional gearbox because the reviews on cvt etc boxes show many problems. Being used to a RAV 4 and Honda CRV I will find it hard to adjust to a car where I am unable to see the bonnet. I guess a fat cushion is the way forward.

Got one here who has an MX5. Bumpy ride, starts and stops as if we are in an off road rally, extremely hard to get out of the car with seats almost at ground level.

My last Citroen was an auto, and my first was a C-matic, low bonnets but always comfortable.

Of course you could buy an old motorbike and balance out the knee issue by use of the kickstart facility.
 
My wife is only just over 5 ft tall, and it freaks her out when she get's into the driver's seat of a car where she can't see the front of it - making it very difficult to find a replacement for her yr 2000 Golf IV.

Possible solution is the sort of tall "marker pylons" that you can buy (ebay etc.) to fit to the front bumper to indicate the "end" of a car - maybe???

Horse meat is actually very lean. Not that I've eaten any, though you can still buy it at one of our local markets. BTW, I've just found a cushion with turkey stuffing if that's any good to TJ.

Modern cars beep when you get close to anything. Many come with allround cameras.

Yes there are, but I doubt we'll want to spend "that sort of money" on a car - especially as, even "put together" we don't drive more than a few thousand miles a year nowadays, and I do the driving for the vast majority of those.

Happy Christmas to everyone. :D
 
Most cars make a set of very loud noises when you get a bit too close.

Unfortunately walls, trees and other "inanimate objects" don't - and "animate objects" often don't either until it's "too late"!
