Need a big and comfortable car for scoliosis sufferer - what do you suggest?
I need to buy a new car that will be suitable to carry my wife who suffers from scoliosis. I currently own a BMW 728, but find the car to be very expensive to run. Can you recommend something to replace it?

An MPV or tall hatch is easiest to get in and out of. I'd be looking at a KIA Venga or Hyundai ix20 1.6 auto with 15-inch wheels and 195/65 tyres. I had a bigger Mazda 5 1.6d TS2 on 205/65 R16 Toyo J48 tyres and the ride of that was excellent, but it might be too big for your needs.
