I have one a Honda Odyssey with ramp, kneeling system and a 6 way power seat. I can swing the seat so I can transfer into the drivers seat. I also have hand controls.

Yes and no, I transfer to a seat and drive with hand controls. We have a lift installed that raises the wheelchair up ( without me in it, without needing it to be folded) to store it

This is me, too. I don't "need" one yet, but I'm losing the people who could load my power chair into the car. I'm lucky in that our county has a disability transportation system, but the usage is limited, and there are times when you may have to wait outside for an hour or two. I rarely go anywhere these days.

No, I don't. But I live in the city of Atlanta; GA and I have access to public transportation with free rides on the train and bus all day.
