I was curious about the how high the Interior was because I sit so tall in my chair. It is much more difficult for me to lean back to get into a vehicle. It makes my chair that much longer and adds to the problem I already have with loading. I currently have a full-size van in which I can see practically nothing. I have not seen the greater Tampa Bay area since I have been injured and would really like to get a van where I can have a view of the outside world. Psychologically, this would do wonders for me.
Thanks for the input.

I would like to know how tall you are in your chair Eric. I sit in my current chair 57 inches high and have to lean into my present van in order to gain access. I have looked at a few of the minivans, but the majority of people seem to think I am too big to be in a minivan.

I know you're asking Eric but abt height ... I am a passenger. After 3 full-size vans I was ready for a change. So when I tried out the Braun Entervan (a quad from a company 3+ hours from my home ... drove down his for me to try out) I liked it.
However, I THEN was in my old Fortress Scientific and I scooted in easily (no ducking) and could see out well w/ the 10 inch drop floor. Then I got my Permobil wheelchair and I sit up MUCH higher (no numbers for you now). I have to duck a little getting in/out and my eyebrows are even with the visor! Hence I don't see out too well but just got used to it.
Unsure (if I had a choice) whether I'd go back to a full size or not. My biggest woe with them is WAITING for the lift. In the Entervan I just zoom up the short ramp.
