My Toyota Yaris has done me proud for 12 years, though it's now a bit long in the tooth. The driver's position is high enough and adjustable enough for me. It's easy to get into and out of but if I was getting another Yaris, I'd get a 5-door model as mine is a bit awkward for back seat passengers. Moreover, it hasn't cost me much for maintenance. I endorse what someone said about the Nissan Note. My sister and BiL have one and it's wonderfully comfortable in front and back seats and very easy to get into and out of.
Lack of public toilets in towns.
Passports not in the drawer I always keep them in. Turning the place upside down.
