Audi fit fantastic seats to all of their cars try something like an RS4 or A4 1.8T - move the seat to the highest position and you will love it I'm sure. Its a real shame you've hurt your back - is it something you are going to recover from or are you stuck with it? I can really sympathise - my back goes periodically and I end up laid up for a few weeks at a time. Thankfully I can work from home but it really can get to you.

How about a Scooby or Mitsubishi Evo. Great performance and all saloons. Should be no problem to get in and out of. If not maybe a 4x4?

What about one of those Polo Golf things with the turbo and supercharged small capacity petrol engines.

They wring about 170bhp and are light - therefore performance, handling and stopping are exemplary.

If you were in Iceland I would probably tell you to get a Land Rower or a Nissan Patrol on 44-48 inch tires

An EVO or an Impreza would probably work for you. Those back problems are horrible. I am having some backproblems that come and go but not allways so bad I have to lie for a few days. I don't know how the seats are in those cars but it's really important to find a car with a some comfortable seats
