Good point about the mobility impaired and vehicles. We ran in to that with my mother.

I rented a "full size" car in Tucson and when I arrived they had a Sonata waiting for me. Avis has apparently taken it upon itself to eschew industry standards and call mid-size sedans "full size." They also call a Bonneville, which is what I ended up with, a "luxury car." LOL.) You need to get out more. Hertz, Avis etc. have been doing this for at least 10 years.

It's easy to get in and out of my minivan, a Toyota Sienna. Also, although they are extremely ugly, you might look at a Scion, the boxy one. Cheap, good mileage, lots of room, low to the ground. The Sienna has one electronic sliding door, which can be operated with the remote or a button on the dash, which is nice because the sliding doors can be tricky to close. I thought it would be stupid but it's handy for my mother. I can open and close the door for her without coming around and doing it for her.
