Also if just looking to get a lower and lighter car without necessarily wanting a shorter car, full-size sedans can fit people much taller than you or I. I could sleep in my Chrysler 300M when I had it because the seat could recline all the way back.
Currently I have an A6 Allroad (C6 generation, I like 'em well depreciated) and it fits me just fine. If we're doing imperial units here, I'm 5'10 and 280 lbs. I could still move the seat much further back and lower the backrest further if I was taller or heavier. I have no trouble climbing from the driver's seat to the passenger seat and back when I park myself into my small garage with the driver's door blocked in due to doing some work on the other side of the car.
I guess what I was trying to say was: as much as I hate cars (and I hate cars a lot because I needed CPR and to be airlifted because of one), I more dislike getting into sedans because its painful to get in and out of one on a daily basis, especially as I'm getting older.
I will try out your point about full sized sedans.
