Toyota RAV4 - side swinging rear boot door - first thing that came to mind.
Nice looking vehicle, reliable.
Land Rover Freelander - same swinging rear door, similar to Rav4 but not such a great reliability record.
If you could buy new, if you could wait until late summer this year and if you could manage a split rear tailgate (not a swing door) the Skoda Yeti looks tempting:

Too many if's may be.
The Suzuki Jimny isn't up to much according to What Car, too many compromises in the way the car drives, only 1 out of 5 stars .
If only Honda put the powered tailgate of the Honda Accord in the Honda CRV 4x4 that would solve the problem a different way

Thanks Adrian - that looks really interesting. Knowing what a procrastinator I am it might well be late summer before I get round to serious searching anyway :rolleyes:C'est le ton qui fait la chanson0

I've been looking at the Terios' since this thread started. There may be an option here.... How about a new Terios....
BUT - then take off the externally mounted rear wheel and add a can of tyre weld. If you are finding boots difficult you would find a wheel change equally hard - if not impossible anyway, and would always have the option of the RAC/AA etc to get you out of a problem. The can of tyre weld would act as a complete emergency and also to make the car legal to run without the spare wheel. Without the spare wheel the new Terios is almost 6" shorter.Praying at the church of MSE should be compulsory!

Just wanted to point out that the new style Honda CR-V's have an up and over style boot door which is very light. The previous model had a regular door style opening but was very heavy as the spare wheel was stuck on the back. I don't think either models would be suitable for the OP. HTH
