Is raising the seat a couple of inches really going to help ?
perhaps it's time to consider a change of Vehicle ?
I'm currently driver for my Mother - I'd rather we be driving in my 75 - however the Car is too low for my Mother to comfortably enter/exit - so, despite my dislike for the Vauxhall Grandland X (I should add it has a few Good points... the 3cylinder 1.2 130ps Engine
) I drive my Mother in her own Car - much better for getting in and out as the Sill/Seat/Roof are all higher and the opening is larger.
I love my Rover 75 and favour a long low saloon style - I don't do form over function tho - if I had to choose only one car of these two - at this time i'd have to choose the Grandland X
