What small yet comfortable car would you recommend?
I have driven a Mercedes S-Class for years, but now that I am in my late 80s I want a smaller car, but with comfort as near the S as possible. Of course it cannot be the same, but what small car, ideally about Polo sized, would you recommend, please?

Probably a Citroen C4 Picasso 1.2 Puretech 130 EAT6 with 'Advanced Comfort Suspension' and 205/55 R16 tyres. Soft suspension and an excellent new type of seat. But bigger wheels with lower profile tyres spoil the effect. A DS5 or a DS7 take this two stages further but are of course progressively bigger.
