    Hip for the oldies

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Camry Toyota Camry Advice Toyota Camry 2007 Subaru Subaru Advice Subaru Forester Subaru Forester Advice Subaru Forester 2007

    YOU recently referred to the H (for hip) point being raised in cars for older drivers in response to the difficulty of entry and exit. What is this and which cars should I look at?

    BASICALLY, the H point is the spot where your hip is located when you are sitting in the driver's seat. It can be raised by lifting the base of the seat, the height of the floor or even the whole vehicle. So cars such as the Toyota Camry have a high seat position, but a Subaru Forester has a high H point because of gravel-road suspension settings. You really need to walk around a few showrooms to see the difference.
