She is now almost 5 years old. In addition, my 76yo mother in law and 70yo mother get in and out of these cars just fine.

Not saying it is bad for you to go and buy a 4 door, but don't think it is a must just because you have a kid. Many folks, including me, have only had 2 door cars and get along just fine.

On this side of the pond, I see so many people say "oh no, I had a kid, need to sell my Honda Accord and go by a massive 3 row Chevy Suburban because I need the room". What the fuck.

This is so true

I don't have kids, but back in Europe I have my first car (330Ci 5MT) being driven by one of my sisters. 2 kids, daily driver since they were born.
It can work just fine.

One does not need a stupid ass van or SUV to carry two kids. Learn to limit the kind of crap they are allowed to take on outings and that's it. The discipline may also avoid them from becoming spoiled little brats.
