    yeah the really low ones are hard to get into, and probably even harder to get out of. but cars like the Jazz have an upright seating position

    Kung mababa hanap nila, either mag avanza, veloz o stargazer na. Hindi sintaas ng innova then at the same time, roomy pa.

    My 80s Uncle bought a Kia Seltos recently pala. Ok pala ang height for seniors, my Auntie has a cane and she's okay with it.

    agreed. yung byenan ko, hirap sa City namin dati. pero sa HR-V eh mas madali going in and out of the car. pag sedan kasi masyadong mababa, pag uupo sya eh parang babagsak sya and pag lalabas naman sya eh, she needs to pull herself up pa eh masakit sa tuhod nya because of her rayuma and her weight.

    i guess, it's how tall they are, and how fit they are.
    if they're vertically challenged talaga, as in, 5 ft or less, and with rayuma, even vanzy might be too difficult for them. they'll probably like the sedan.
    but if they are tall, naman, 5.5 ft or more, even the innova is fine by them.

    The Toyota Sienna is a decent option as its low entry height and flexible interior space make it a good choice.

    It may also be height-dependent.

    My folks are in their 70s and they both hated the sedan (Civic) and prefer the Innova. They get in, butt first, and pull their legs in. Getting out is even easier... just swing their legs out and slide out.

    I bought my wife a 2024 Mazda CX-30. She's 5'1" (I think). She says it's just right for her.....and our youngest daughter.

    This one. I bought a new car a few months ago, so I planned on selling my Sorento. My parents had a Mazda 2 which initially we had planned to keep as it was small and good for tight spaces. On the day I was picking up the new car, my father suddenly decided to take my Sorento and told me to dispose of the Mazda 2 instead. Now they are happier as its a lot easier to get in and out than a sedan.
