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.
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.

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.
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.
Carnival or Previa. More space than the Fortuner, but lower ride height and better ride.
I remember that older Pregio's were known for being prone to overheating. I've seen my share of these with smoke coming out of the cabin by the side of the highway.There was once when we took the '96 Pregio to Baguio. Medyo mabago-bago pa siya noon. Tatay ko ang nagmaneho nuon, and it was fully loaded including luggage. Wala namang problema. Akyat lang ng akyat. Kennon Road yun ah. Although I remember my dad commenting that it wasn't very stable...
Pero during the mid 2000s may lumabas na Pregio CRDi sa Korea diba? Wala pa bang ganon sa mga Korean surplus? That should be an interesting choice.
yung pregio namin ang parati lang nasisira is yung aircon then last year mahina na handbrake
and it cant get past 120kph.. sa 115kph nga hirap na eh ..
pero cant complain, sarap nya maging passenger car
MRT comfortable ride rin.Kidding aside, Sta. Fe, Lexus RX or LX, Ford Explorer, Grand Cherokee (my uncle who test drove said it rode through humps like nothing), Grand Livina (mababa lang nga), Land Cruiser or Patrol Royale. European cars tend to have stiffer suspension because of the sporty design so Japanese are the safer choices. Grand Starex is the safest bet for vans, but the new Odyssey looks ok as it sells very well in the US.
