Looking for something for dad most important is ease of entry and egress along with comfort. Was thinking X1 but then saw the 335 GT that looks like a beast. Need to drive it but seems super versatile, sits up higher but not too high which is good. Anyone with some health issues as described that has logged some serious seat time in the car? Will do a test drive obvs but only so much you can learn in a single day in the car. Have read some grumbling about seat comfort or lack thereof in the X1.

I'm 66 with a bad back, have no trouble getting in and out of the car. The higher position without going to an SUV was one reason why I bought it.

Plus it has a TON of rear seat legroom.

Thanks for the tip, brand new to this section of the forum esp for the 3 GT as I had never considered one for him before seeing one yesterday. Drove the 5 GT a year ago and HATED it. Liked the X1 but afraid it may be a bit too high (if memory serves its higher than the old one) and think it's a tad underpowered, especially if he wants something new again in 12 mos like this time and I end up driving whatever I get him now.
