2. Open magazine, go straight to the last pages into the pricelist
3. List down all cars within you budget
4. Eliminate undesirable cars
4. Show choices to mom

August 17th, 2014 08:23 PM #5reviews on automotive sites like Top Gear Philippines and Autoindustiya will add some ideas. Not to mention the fun of reading peoples bickering comments just below those reviews.

August 18th, 2014 01:25 AM #8Best to ask your mother herself first. What are her preferences? Does she particularly like a certain car? Does it have to be supremely comfortable? Exceptionally fuel efficient?
I'd suggest you consider the Kia Soul or Carens CRDi. Excellent engines, car-like ride, lots of space, not overly tall...

August 21st, 2014 05:26 PM #17+ 1 on the Forester, though another consideration will be the Mazda CX-5.
An coworker tells me their Forester 2.0L NA averages around 9 km/L on mixed driving conditions. They are happy with its FC as they get about the same FC with their old Civic FD 1.8L.

August 22nd, 2014 08:16 PM #19Forester NA or the XV premium. CX-5 would also be a good 'for her' car.

August 22nd, 2014 08:29 PM #20I suggest the Forester it's a nice suv and have higher ground clearance than the XV
if she wants a diesel-fed the or gas-fed the Fortuner will be a nice alternative
