Car for a Retired Couple

[d'flash]

okay ang sentra 1.6 MT,

pero dahil senior na yung driver, mas safe pag maliit ang car diba? so Getz na lang.

Feeling ko mas safe pag mas malaki. If ever in the future bibilhan ko parents ko, pipilitin ko bigyan sila ng Volvo. Para safe talaga.

Sentra na lang....

Si lolo 76 years old na. He still drives to work every day from South Triangle QC to Ugong Valenzuela. Yung 2005 Accord 2.4 ang gamit niya, minsan nga kahit yung Revo dinadala. We have, at many times, offered to hire him a driver or even drive him ourselves, but the elderly can get pretty stubborn. He is still very much capable when driving, although not as good as before.

The Sentra N16 chassis has a good solid body with good safety features. It is geared towards comfort so seniors will be able to appreciate the ride better.

oo nga Sir, manual pa gusto nila. medyo risky lang.

risky? why? because lolo refuses to drive "fast", or because the young 'uns weave in and out of his lane with impunity?
need we be reminded, that lolo was retired, not because is he is feeble, but because the young 'uns needed his job and his salary..

VOLVO

V - Very
O - Old
L - Looking
V - Vehicle for
O - Old People

Excellent choice!

pinagda-drive naman ng pinsan ni misis sila Lolo at Lola.. pero may times na kapag naisip ni Lolo umalis, gusto nya agad-agad eh di naman always na pwede si pinsan kaya gusto ni lolo bumili ng sariling car. yung dating car na gamit nya ay 95 corolla gli m/t hanggang 2011. nabangga kasi yun while parked sa gilid ng highway at medyo malaki ang naging damage kaya ng naayos ay pinabenta na lang ng mga anak yung car. since then ay pinagda-drive na lang sila..

gusto sana ni lola yung getz para matipid daw sa gas at maintenance, pero matigas ulo ni lolo, gusto daw nya eh yung mas malaki na car.

malaki ba ang difference sa FC at maintenace.. 90% naman ay (cabanatuan) city driving lang sila. once a month lang ay nagpupunta ng manaoag..

2006 Sentra GSX M/T - 225k
mileage - 75k
all original, all stock

2008 Getz 1.1L M/T - 235k
Mileage - 35k
all original, 15" mags

The Getz 1.1 should constantly get above 10km/L city driving, and perhaps hit 20km/L and above in the highway if driven gently. But if he's used to AE101 fuel consumption, hindi naman siya maninibago sa Sentra since pareho rin namang 1.6 EFI. Perhaps around 8-9km/L.

Unless one has financial concerns, no way is a man gonna downgrade from a 1.6L compact to a weedy 1.1L subcompact hatch.
