What are some top-rated cars for seniors?

Some top-rated cars for seniors include the 2011-2014 Chrysler 300, 2008-2014 Honda Accord, 2004-2015 Lexus RX, 2009-2015 Subaru Forester and 2004-2014 Toyota Highlander. These vehicles scored highly in Consumer Reports tests for features most important to senior vehicle owners including access, controls, driving position, front-seat comfort and visibility.

When choosing a vehicle for seniors, stay away from 4x4s, sports cars and minivans. Minivans and 4x4s are too tall for easy access, while sports cars are too fast and may be too cramped. Sedans and station wagons make the best vehicles for senior citizens. The latter is especially helpful for elderly people who use a walker or a wheelchair.
