While this is not my first new car since getting my wheelchair, it is my first new car since I no longer drive. Since I cannot drive myself, I do not need to get my wheelchair in and out of the car on my own most of the time. my lovely wife will be handling getting my chair and out of the car.
I want my chair to go in the trunk of the car. So far I've had SUVs and the PT cruiser, so I have not had to take the wheels off etc., all we've done is fold down the back. my wife would prefer to continue leaving my chair as together as possible, so as to make it easy and quick to get the chair in and out.
In order to keep the chair together in the PT cruiser, we needed to fold one of the back seats down. I have a Q7 manual chair, 16 x 16. in our next car, we want to be able to put the chair and without folding down a seat, because we hope to have children soon and we will need that backseat.
we also want to spend as little money as possible, and not have to drive a monster truck (or minivan -- at my wife's request).
So basically we are looking at hatchback type cars and smaller SUVs.
what kind of cars do people here drive? Any suggestions as to the easiest car/SUV to get a chair and out of (for an AB)?
A lot will depend on price, but I always like to hear the experiences of others first! Thanks all!

Good kid car I'd think, was very reliable for me. GREAT gas mileage, I bought it primarily for the gas mileage and the cargo was initially for the dogs. I still had my truck and horses at the time and wanted something with great gas mileage.
