Default Advice on buying a new Ford

I've had a Ford eco sport but am changing it soon. Thing is I need a car that the seating isn't too low. My wife has mobility problems and
finds it difficult If the seats are low down.
I love Fords and wouldn't have any other make. Does anyone have any suggestions please. I'm thinking of either a Fiesta hatchback or Focus hatchback but not sure about the seating. It might be a few weeks before we can get to the nearest Ford dealership.

I dont know but I would think the Fiesta and Focus are lower than the Eco Sport. What about the new Puma or a Kuga for higher up seating?

So, this morning I tried out the Puma, Kuga, Fiesta and Eco sport. In the end decided on a new Fiesta Active X.

Here is the problem. I am informed that the Ford production line are having problems getting parts from Japan since their factory burned down.
The Fords dealership told me it could take between 12 and 16 weeks before I can have my new car.
