What car would you recommend I buy for my mother who is 70 years old. She wants a car raised , and has a budget of around 20k, is it best getting a 2 or 3 year old car?
Hi Dave,
Yes, for your mum’s budget, you can get some nice crossovers for €20,000. These will give her the high driving position and you might want to look for automatic models, simply for ease of use. All of the Renault Kadjar, Opel Mokka X, Suzuki Vitara, Fiat 500X, Nissan Juke, Renault Captur and Suzuki Ignis are in your price and age range, and there’s a variety of different-sized vehicles in this list, so if your mum wants something a bit smaller to park, she ought to look at the Ignis, Mokka X, Juke and Captur. If she wants something stylish, give the 500X a whirl and if she wants a lot of space or good value-for-money on equipment, check out the Kadjar and Vitara.
