Hi

A friend of mine who is a senior citizen and want to buy a new car to
replace her standard old car. She is very good driver with very clean
driving history. Her current car is Volkswagen golf. She is thinking
of buying a new Volkswagen golf but automatic of course (easier to
drive). Do you have any other recommendation on which car (brand name)
she should consider. Too many options and technologies are not really
required, just basic stuff but most be automatic.

Thank you in advance.


I'm a Subaru Forester fan.

Live on a hill and all Subaru's come with standard AWD.

Height is almost perfect for us seniors as it is easy to get in and out of.

As others point out, VW is in a heap of trouble and probably best avoided.


I've been wanting to buy a VB Beetle, but not a new one. Are the older
models (by a few years) a bad idea, too?
