12. At this point in my "geezerhood" I want something that I can get in and out of easily

I had a 2005 Forester XT TURBO. Great car but had problems with the rear end. Thank god for the warranty. I was a Honda guy for years. Had about 10 or 15 of them over the years.
Had a Prius that was easy to get in and out of (2017 "V&quot . Did not get such great mileage and had "problems". Lucky I sold it for a good penny after 3 years.
To me compact two wheel drive SUV'S are just jacked up station wagons or 5 door hatch backs. Never gonna go off road. Saying that I have a Mazda cx30 which I can get in and out of pretty easy, gets good fuel miles and is quick.. It's comfortable. I'm happy with it and I'll see how well it lasts. It's got all the bells and whistle that keep me safe. YMMV..
