The new zenix is also easy to get in and has a lot of room

my spouse struggles to get herself up into the innova.
a stepboard helps, but it is still a struggle.
maganda sedans. just sit on the seat, then pull one's legs in.

very observant

that's how they do it

that's why i like the city hatchback for this application. an arinola as 12vdc suggested, could be placed somewhere in there. then there's an 80k discount for this model, plus 1yr free PMS, 5k accessories voucher, 5k discount for existing honda owners

Bring a pack of adult diaper, they can piss or poop anytime they want.

not really recommended for those that are prone to UTI

Or bring grams/gramps Arenola.

No offense to the TS but this was my first thought too. I know several perfectly mobile active seniors (not in a wheel chair or a cane) that use diapers because their bladder control isn't good anymore.

I can't visualize it, you mean just install an arinola like seat in the vehicle? So the senior has to pull her pants/skirt and underwear down in the vehicle? That's hard from a sitting position.

prone kasi to UTI so diapers not recommended for this particular octogenarian

just slide into the toilet, pull up skirt, pull down underwear, then go na. seems easy

most seniors i know off hates riding in sedans.

For OP, why not get a Van instead and have it modified to fit a small CR at the rear.
Vans like the Toyota hi ace LXV, Nissan NV350, Hyundai Staria/ Hyndai H350 are big enough to put a small restroom inside. You can also opt for its base model and have the like of Atoy's customize the van to put in a CR.

that's a great idea!
and when word gets around, he might be inundated with similar orders from the geriatric age group.

Maybe a tall roof van with a ramp and CR added in ? Standing and walking to the loo may be easier to them than partially lifting themselves to slide between seats.

EDIT: or a maxus G10 with the easy access seat
