Thanks Bionic Rusty. Yes, my wife has to transfer from her wheelchair to the side of the seat and she then leans back and lifts her legs in one at a time before pivoting around. We have leather seats at present but they were a crazy price option on our Tiguan. We swallowed the cost as we were both driving at the time and the electric seats with driver memory that came with them was useful, but as I am now the only driver it would be difficult to justify. We will be checking ease of access in every car, so may well be forced to go with a car with leather as standard which both BMW’s in our shortlist have as well as the Volvo, I believe. I am 6ft 2 and dislike seats that are too short under my legs, so that’s another factor. The ones in the 3 Series Touring Sport look the best but the low nature of the car may be a show stopper.
