I have an Aunty who is single at 37 due to the fact that she's a cripple. She walks around with crouches. She literally can not move her toes but the legs are there. Just there.

Yesterday, a kind-hearted man promised to buy her a car and she asked me the kinda car that will suit her. Honestly, I don't know. I don't know much able cripples and/or physically challenged people.

So, I decided to come here to seek your opinion.

Which car can a cripple in Nigeria drive?

@nlfpmod

None.... Make she no go cripple or even kill other people

She can get the car and get someone to drive her around..

If she can't use any of her legs, how does she intend to use just two hands to operate the accelerator, brake, steering, gear selector, turn signals, etc?...

If one of her legs was functional, preferably the right one, she won't have much of a problem driving conventional auto-gear vehicles..

But in this instance, kindly tell your aunty it's a matter of urgent national security that she never drives a vehicle....

Try MODIFIED

HONDA CRV OR TOYOTA RAV4

If well modified, she'll enjoy any of those two. They're reliable and doesn't consume much fuel...

Anyone

Any man who buys a car for a cripple should also prepare to get the ripple a driver or get him a customized car

You dey lie

To drive around her street roads maybe around her residence and not in this Lagos...

I dont think there is any that wont require the use of the legs!

The best for her would be a van like a sienna or Odyssey because the van or which ever car she chose to drive will need modifications..

You want to give the mechanics some space to install/modify what they need to be modified.

There's somepeople that drives with their scooter in the driver seat (that is using their scooter as a drivers seat).

There's a company in the U.S that does that wheel chair accessible van/ cars, I think it's called BraunAbility.

You can check out the company and see what they do, that might give you some ideas also.

I will post the link to the company if I find it.

Modified ** link is below

Does she want to drive herself?

I will advise you to get her a driver.
Not advisable for her to drive on Nigeria roads

People that have two legs amputated do drive

A wheelchair.

07 Sienna

Limousine or Formula 1 go make sense

Lol I'm physically abled and I drive perfectly normal on roads, highways and inter state

Don't mind all these nay sayers. There are ways automatic car can be customized to suit her needs. Go to YouTube and check it out. I'm also a physically disabled guy and I didn't even need to customize my car

they normally convert vehicles so she can control everything by hand

Customized Minivan

Anything like siena

Using the word crippled to describe someone that is physically challenge is an offensive word.

Are we to choose from the list of the uploaded picture …. I’d say Formula1.
But on a more serious note.
I think the answer might be a hatchback, simply because I’ve seen one before converted to hand pedals for physically challenged person.

I have seen a friend of mine a cripple.drive a Honda. The car was modified so he can use it. He accelerates and brakes with his hands.

Those auto wheel chair is better of or customized car

Does she work or run any profitable business?

The man can do something else for her instead of risking her life

My stepmom used to say, "if your mouth is itching you, scrub your lips against the wall."
