Mid-size SUV comfort

I was planning to purchase a 2000 Mustang GT in the future to experiment with but recently changed my mind. While on vacation last week I drove two different rental cars, a 2010 Toyota Corolla and a Cadillac CTS. The first thing my wife and I both noticed about both vehicles is the difficulty of getting out of them because of the seat height. My Explorer Sport and our Toyota Highlander Sport have spoiled us in that regard. Their seats are at the right height to reduce knee strain when exiting. That's something I never thought about when contemplating the Mustang puchase. It looks like all of my future vehicles will remain mid-sized SUVs.
