smart
When I tell people I want a smart car, they can't believe I could use it with my disabilities. Then I tell them about my joy at a recent test drive when I found the seats actually sit higher than your typical sedan, making it very easy to get in and out of. The seats are comfy and supportive, too. The 5-speed "automated manual" transmission has the option to shift or not, both without a tiring clutch pedal, and with the addition of paddle shifters on the steering wheel. It's a bit noisy, but not much more than my 13-year-old Honda Accord. And at $13,500, it's affordable. The main drawback is waiting 18 months for delivery. Not so easy to open (as in, "get") but easy to use.
