I've got an 06 GTI. I'd only recommend it to a mechanic and if you loved it. Everything is a PITA and parts are rarely cheap. Neighbor has an 02 Jetta TDI, a bunch of little things have broken or quit or act weird like the sunroof opening itself.
For Grandma I'd go with a Corolla as the Tercel has been dropped. Or if she doesn't mind quirky one of the Scions, like the xB that sits a little higher. My mom actually likes the Highlander as she can easily slide in and out. The Honda Fit is a nice little car too. Just stay away from a CVT... most self destruct by 100k. |
