    Grandpa needs new car...suggestions

    He is 94, so nothing sports, he's willing to spend about 30 grand, less is better though, my guess is he only wants new. Suggestions?

    Isn't he kind of old to be driving anymore? 94? I suggest he sticks to walking or a cab.

    I've seen a lot of old people here in Auckland driving Ford Ka... it's a small car, hardly a sport car , and safe... and i guess becoz a lot of old people drive them... it's easy to drive

    it looks strange from the outside.... but the interior is quite nice. I'm not sure wether this car is availabale in the US though.

    How about that then. Its reliable, fairly economical, not too sporty and doesnt look crap. It would suit well i'd say.

    Well, he is in great shape, plays 18 holes of golf 3 times a week... He said he has nothing wrong with a sporty car, when I say that, stick to sedans, but if they are somewhat sporty, thats fine. And cut with the old people jokes, lol.
