My parents who are in their 70s had their previous car (an Accord) flooded/totaled in the storm last week. They are looking for a replacement and said they want a "luxury small SUV". They like my car (an X5) but obviously that's too big for them but they wanted to check out the X1 and X3. My mother is also quite short at 5' so something low to the ground and OK for a short driver is pretty important. The only problem is that my mother got a knee replaced last week and can't go to dealerships to go and try these cars out, nor can she really manage to sit in them right now. Dealerships around them won't let my father take the car home to her. But they need a car ASAP. Any thoughts on a CPO 2018 X1 vs X3 for seniors with at least one short driver? Which makes more sense? Things to be aware of? Thanks.
