basic requirements:
- sits upright (best position for my dad's back and knee)
- a/t
- economical fuel consumption (don't we all want this?)
- prefer new but preowned no more than 3 yrs old is ok
- budget under: 1M sana

nice to have:
- dual airbags, abs, etc
- relatively high ground clearance (he drives through flood prone areas)

we've shortlisted the ff:

1. ford focus - practical. good sitting position for my dad. not sure about consumption of 1.8l engines. 1.6l should be a better bet but basic trimmings only. not good for flooded areas.

2. hyundai tucson 4x2 crdi - manufacturer claims 12km/l. meets most of the above requirements except budget. he ain't sold on korean cars yet.

3. toyota rav4 1.8 4x2 - preowned only. we were told that the fuel consumption is ok. looks a little young for a 70 year old don't you think?

4. suzuki jimny - way too young... i don't know why he likes it. i'm pretty sure my mom will refuse to get in it. ...but it meets all his requirements daw.

anything else we should consider?
