As an aging or elderly driver on the hunt for a new vehicle, you have lots of options. Unfortunately, having a lot of options might leave you feeling overburdened by the prospect of choosing the right car.

Do you pick a big SUV with enough space for all the grandkids? Do you stick with a sedan that’s easy to get in and out of? Do you make the upgrade and get every piece of safety equipment possible?
