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

Im planning on buying an Acura MDX 07-14 in the near future. I've had 2 Audi's and loved loved loved them as cars however the maintenance was insane. I dont mind it for a toy (read my 1.8T engine in the 914) but man oh man are they expensive to keep going.

I think all acura's of newer years have leather. 90's maybe not so much.


IMHO one of my favorite cars of all time was the 2000's Audi allroad. I had one for a couple of years and it was such a great car, super comfy, great power, adjustable air bags to lower the car or raise it if your going offroad. But man oh man was it maintenance heavy. I went through 3 air compressors with the car and 2 sets of bags before converting it to coil springs. The fan went out and I converted it to an electric fan (BIG MISTAKE). Killed a fan controller and some wiring doing that. The 2.7 motor was bulletproof but all the things attached to it were just maintenance killers. I sold it when I determined that I didnt want to deal with a transmission going out (It was shifting great, but a ticking time bomb).
Bought my Fiesta ST and have done nothing but tires and oil in 80k miles. Now my back is killing me because of the rough ride and I already have 2 toys.
