    I had been driving a 2020 Honda Passport for the last 5 years. I have gMG and the fatigue and ability to get up into it has gotten worse over the last couple years. I also have RA which is causing the joints and cramps in my arms and legs. When I took my car in for service I almost fell when trying to get out. I decided to look at cars and found out being too low is much more issues. My friend that works at the dealership suggested looking at the next size down and he showed me a Honda CR v. What a difference! When I got out my feet was on the ground and no sliding out and down to exit. The actual unit I bought was a CR v Hybrid Sport Touring which get around 40 sMPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway. The safety package on it has the upgraded adaptive cruise control, Collision Mitigation, Blind Spot warning as well as lane keeping system that gives warnings and correction adjustments automatically. It also has the driver attention system in it that will warn you if you aren’t holding onto the wheel or if it senses you not paying attention to your driving. It is extremely comfortable to drive and quiet. I am extremely happy with it.
