2nd hand car for bad back

The Nissan Juke has a higher driving position worth trying out.

Thank you everyone. I haven't yet been to actually sat in any cars as yet but I do take notice, when I pull into a car park or drive past other cars, of the height of the wing mirrors and see if the driver is sitting higher than me. I like the look of the Vauxhall Mokka as it looks like a 'normal size car on stilts', whereas the Qashqai seems a bigger, wider car. I feel I just need taller, not bigger.

My post shoul read no problem getting in or out. ☺️

We bought a Hyundai Kona for a similar reason missinglincs, I live with spinal and joint issues and Mr C was just finding he was less flexible. We’re both fairly tall and I was struggling to get in and particularly out of our previous car. The Kona is just right for us , the front seats can be heated which I find is a huge help (Mr C never uses them), there is also excellent seat adjustment and a heated steering wheel, a real bonus in cold weather. The height suits us both. We tried many before deciding. I found garage staff totally understanding of my need to try the seats before agreeing to a test ride. A lot will depend on your height, ability to get in and out and personal preference on seat height and rake. Good luck with the hunt.

My friend has back problems and other health issues and her last two cars have been Skodas, apparently they are popular with older people and there is a waiting list for new models.

I recently went from a Qashqai to a Corsa but with my seat fully raised I’ve had problem getting in or out and have hip-replacements and an arthritic spine.

I have a back problem and have driven a Honda Jazz for the past 7 years. I find it a comfortable height.

Whatever car you choose check if you can raise snd lower the drivers seat
A raised seat is much easier to get into and out
I am ignorant I don’t know how common this feature is.
