The last thing she needs is something more likely to roll over because of a high center of gravity.

How many times has she run into the garage?
her driveway, which runs down the side of her house, is only 7 feet wide...so he needs something closer to 60" wide...CRV's are about 72" wide.

Mini Countryman? Not sure of the clearance on that.

Would be cheaper to widen the driveway.

What's the point in an SUV that is compact. The only ones I know that might work are those Ford escapes.

Smart car with a lift kit is the only answer.

A quick search on a bunch of compact crossovers on Wikipedia...not finding anything less than 70". She needs a car.

Not gonna happen, Chevy Trax and Subaru XV are the narrowest with similar clearance and they are both ~70" wide. Smart cars are 65" which would give her smaller width, but less than half the clearance.

how close are her neighbors? Can she get the driveway widened without encroaching on any property lines? If so, I'd go that route instead of shopping for a new, skinny car.

Honda HRV is probably her best bet.

Actually the Subaru Forrester is probably the best.
