    My grandpa is lookin for a new car

    My grandpa is looking for a new car to replace his Saturn

    the specs he is looking for are

    Car has to be 16 or less feet long
    The back seats have to fold down so he can get ladders and stuff in it
    Has to have Easy access so not to low to the ground
    really good gas milage
    automatic transmition
    doesnt have to have all the luxuries

    price range under 15 thousand

    he wants the car to be fairly new so about 2005-2007

    Please specify the car and year
    please keep the cars within the lines of what wants
    thank you

    well, consumer freedom would prescribe that what you want you can buy, even in the USA.

    Chrysler PT Cruiser - All the seats fold down, allowing it to carry ladders etc., compact, and a lightly used one can probably be had for $15,000 or less.

    EDIT: Or a new one for less than 20K (according to the Chrysler website, new ones start at just over $15,000)

    I'm not sure about the price range, but the Dodge Cailbre could work also.

    Toyota Yaris. Don't know if it will fit a ladder, but worth a shot
