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

Yeh its a 2.0 boring ass motor

But like you said boring is good . And a buick would never work
Its too huge , grandma wants something small that " turns on a dime"


And im curious about Montreal914s bad experience with the 2002
1.8 turbo,let me get this straight you got a jetta brand new ??? And it was a pos . That speaks volumes too me
im steering clear of turbos because dont need em and assume they are more trouble .

Its hard for me to ignore toyotas as she has had 3 toyotas in a row .

But it has come to my attention they redesigned the golf in 2007

So the 2006 might be the last of the simple basic transportation
Cars before ever thing is all about performance



Edit add


What is the best basic small car ?

I personally love mazda proteges
But the damn a-c is super unreliable so id never get another
