Comfortable ride for lola

[mntry26]

kailangan ni lola ng malambot na ride for long rides.... mga sir sana matulungan niyo ako

[basti08]

ask lola :-)
Anyway, sama mo sa test ride. Keep in mind, ingress and egress ease. Para di rinmahirapan sa lola.

I think yung mga may sliding doors would be best. At some point napansin ko nahihirapan talaga lumabas from normal car doors. Of course I'm basing it on my experiences with our compact car, siguro kung full size sedan mas madali.

I prefer mid size sedan for oldies, my grandfather prefers camry. Roomy, comfy ride and easy in and out.

Magkano ba budget? That would help us a lot in helping you get the best car for lola. Brand new ba o 2nd hand? The best, I believe, would be a minivan like a Carnival or a Previa. The height is high enough that lola would not have to stoop to enter, and the ground clearance would be low enough that she wouldn't have a hard time getting in. It would be even better if it comes with a stepboard though. Ride quality of these minivans are similar to the cushy ride of midsize sedans. There's lots of space too, for family outings.

My grandparents putter around in a Camry. Quite a high mileage as well since they go out to make "pasyal" almost every day. Sometimes they use an Exped or Tucson but the height has been restrictive to them already.

When they were relatively younger, the Pajero was their vehicle of choice over their Crown and MB W140.

My mom loves riding (rear seats) in my ASX. Just the right height for her to get in and out, and good comfy suspension.

Experienced that same dilemma 2 years ago for my grandparents. we opt for a 2005 Toyota Camry 3.0V because of its riding comfort and large trunk (for wheel chair) for their usual trip to St. Luke's and UST Hospital. we sold it 1 year after due to its FC but we replaced it with a 10th gen Corolla Altis.

[basti08]

Yup, the level of isolation and ride comfort of Camry is a steal for its price. I mean, what car could possibly topple that? A Lexus, BMW or Mercedes? And how much is the price difference?

[GTi]

Not to mention that those 3 liter V6 engines are freakishly fast. Smoking those Euro sedans would be a trifle. But then that is if you can live with the horrid 5km/L thereabouts fuel consumption. The 2.4L would give you 6km/L thereabouts fuel consumption. Only slight difference in fuel consumption, big drop in performance (though it is still fast). Kung si lola lang naman ang sasakay, OK na ang 2.0L Camry.

Another 2nd hand option would be the Mitsubishi Grandis. Its basically a Galant on stilts. Same chassis, same transmission, same engine. They can be had for very good deals in the 2nd hand market. Resale is similar to a midsize sedan of the same year.

Montero Sport rides better than Fortuner.

Fortuner suspension can be modified using aftermarket mods but that just means you'll be spending more money on a brand new vehicle.

Why does "lola" want a seven seater? Does she always travel with her whole entourage?

the honda odyssey of old would have been perfect. my mominlo loved it. unfortunately, 'twas wrong timing back in the late 90s. but i hear it's coming back (?), to do battle with the previa, alphard, grandis, etc..
also, a stretch MB would be nice...
ang gusto nila, yung i-kekembot na lang yung balakang, at ibababa na lang sa upuan. ayaw nila ng aakyat pa ang paa o binti..
i notice, some cars require some amount of back-bending so as to avoid hitting the head on the sill. a few cars were designed well enough as to minimize this bending. mebbe that's what senior citizens need..

the Odyssey's already here
Grand Starex Limousine na lang. Very comfy.

[motoring guy]

you have two choices.....hyundai starex or chevrolet venture

[renzo_d10]

No, not the Venture.

--

Either a GS Limo, a Mitsubishi Grandis or a Camry.. kahit 2.4V pwede na. Or if they're tired of Camrys, there's the Galant & Teana waiting.

[boybi]

Ayaw daw ng sedans and requirement is 7 seater.

Starex, Previa or Grandis.

[ghosthunter]

Kia SOUL 1.6 might be the perfect car for old people.

[jut703]

I'd suggest a Kia Carnival since it fits your lola's finicky demands at the lowest price.
