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

Put gas, oil change per mileage, tires and brake pads. Done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Current family car, 07 Sienna with 195k mi, still on the original spark plugs. We have replaces an oil hose, the brake fluid, and the serpentine belt, tires, brakes and battery. Done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Don't want it to break down because it's a heavy pig to put on jack stands... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Good luck with your search/purchase. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Even the high end Iridium plugs wear past spec around 100k. I know the back 3 are a bitch but it would be worth it. Flex joints required.

I've got a mitsubishi owned by my MIL and previously my mom from new. Changed out the front plugs a few times but on the original rears. Seems to be running OK after 130k miles

Im waiting for the car to die before shoving a buick Lesabre in her hands.
