Thread: A new car for the old man.

As Series3 said above Suzuki SX4's are supposed to be a very good little car..we often service then at work with a contract matinance thing we have going with a company we work in with..and they give them a flogging and are all still going.

one of the guys at work has just downsized from a Paj to a VW Tiguan

Volkswagen Tiguan > Volkswagen Car Models > Volkswagen Australia

He is stoked with it, and it will hold golf clubs as seen them and he keeps raving about the lack of fuel it uses, 6 or 7 litre per 100kms

What about one of the new 3 door Pajeros?
Being a bit higher than a sedan they should be easier to get in & out of for the elderly.
The doors on a three door are bigger which again means they are a bit easier to get in & out of.
The new diesel is powerful & economical & can be had in auto.
They have long warrantees - which I wish Landrover would introduce.
My Father who is 76 has one (earlier model) and he loves it.

If it's not too small, i'd suggest a diesel golf. Dead reliable, VERY good on fuel, I haven't read a bad report/review on them yet.
I guess your budget is equally important.

Go the VW Golf,build quality is second to none. Pat

Yep Mk5 Golf is very good.

Also worth looking at the Ford Focus, and the other european-esque small/medium cars.

Don't believe the hype.

My sister has a brand new Passat wagon, been back to the Dealer for warranty fixes a couple of times... in the first fortnight!

Uni friend of mine has a new turbodiesel Golf. If the parking sensors are important, they once didn't pick up on a cast iron pole in Swanston St and the bumper is a little worse for wear as a result.
