Top 10 Cars for Senior Drivers in 2010

Seniors make up one of the largest segments of the auto market. In addition, this segment continues to grow at an astonishing pace. While the stereotypical image of seniors driving "boats" on the road might have once been accurate, today's seniors demand much more in their vehicles.

In fact, today's senior drivers are some of the most demanding customers in the world. They have a wide range of requirements that must be met and are not afraid to shop around until they find an option that fits them perfectly. Seniors, of course, demand comfort and ease of entrance/exit from a vehicle, but you will also find that they are just as demanding in other areas, as well. For instance, senior drivers demand reliability in their vehicles, as well as child friendliness and cargo space.
