Grandpa was told the delivery was delayed for some reason, and he's the type to call it off if anything unexpected happens. Looks like I've got some more time to steer his purchasing direction.

He needs something easy to get into, so nothing low to the ground. It needs to have an "oh-shoot" handle on both the driver and passenger sides to ease entry into the vehicle.

If I had it my way, I'd only consider cars that have automatic braking as an option.
