Im buying a new car for my grandma

Her 1996 toyota tercel cannot pass smog

And it leaks oil, shocks are blown ,interior is crap etc

So any suggestions on what is a good replacement

Car will never be driven on freeways . And see extremely little use in general

This golf seemed great , small like a tercel but i know nothing
About water pumping modern volks wagens

So thought id check here 1st

Well, I guess I’m the one with the opposite luck of everybody else. We had two 2002 Golfs and a 2003 GTI 1.8T and had good luck with all three. We gave the GTI to my oldest son. We never had to do much to any of them except normal oil and belt changes. Also, the 2000 and later VWs hold up well in our saline environment in Vermont, much better than any of the Asian cars.

I worked on anything and everything when I had the garage. I totally agree with the Buick observations. Great, dependable, reliable cars where everything still works at 300,000 miles. Toyota’s and the like are good, reliable cars. They make good appliances and have the personality of one. They are cars for people who hate cars and driving.
