It is really tricky as she wants something spacious with a big trunk, but portable. Don’t you just love Africa mothers? How does that work.

Preferably Japanese and TOYOTA.

Something not so sophisticated as she doesn’t want to deal with a clustered dashboard. However, it should be beautiful as we don’t want it to be ugly either.

It would be fine if she can handle petty repairs without saying the car that was bought for her is spoiled.

I’ll appreciate your inputs as all my suggestions have been dismissed as too big, too high or too sophisticated... I want a balance, where she likes the car and is happy.

Toyota Highlander

Someone that said Rav4 is big, Toyota highlander would be mighty for her na.

JenniferAkpamu:
Toyota Matrix. It is neither a sedan or an SUV. It is balanced on the ground, easy to use and will be just right for Grandma

pocohantas:
Straight to the point, a grandma needs a car. Grandma is a pensioner and drives herself with some drama of course.



My suggestions were ES 300/330, RX 300/330 and Rav4, all 04-08. There was also a suggestion of Big Daddy, which I dismissed as big for nothing.

Thanks

nurey:
Honda Element.

Spacious for drivers

Spacious for passengers

Spacious for cargo

Reliable, dependable and a sight to behold

kingreign:


She can get an RX330 or ES 330. They're decent and comfortable. Avoid that rav4.

And also avoid that man up there screaming Honda element pls.

Twoclans:
I suggest an end of discussion.The trunk is big plus if it is not big enough for her she can drop down the back seat and put as many items as she wants .

Hauptmann:


Just asking, when was the last time you saw a honda Element for sale anywhere?

As a matter of fact, when was the last time you saw any Honda Element anywhere? Abi you want mama to go spare part hunting in Ladipo?

@OP, Kingreign is right about the ES 330. It's essentially a gussied up Camry, checks all the boxes you mentioned.

There's also the matrix of course, if you decide against a V6.

If you don't know the way, always ask

Honda element shares part with Honda Accord, Honda CR-V, Acura TL both North American and Europe even body parts boku for oyingbo so what are you on about.

dicksonadams:


Boss kingreign why did you say they should avoid element? I dey use style eye that car cause it looks like a military vehicle... Kindly enlighten

kingreign:

Back leg sabi sag, that it's tuck in trouser sabi fade colour and if anything hits it, e go lose alignment first body panel. Then is the fact that everything inside reeks of cheap plastic

pocohantas:


Lol. When I was younger, I LOVED that car. Used to dream of owning one. How time flies...

Kondomatic:
Suggesting a car for some people is sometimes more difficult than producing the car sef. Big trunk, portable car. It's alright

Why you go ask person to drive one kind weird looking vehicle?

Nurey, why do you like weird looking things?
E be like this Honda Element pays tribute to your great Nissan Micra that's why you wish others to buy it abi? E no go work

nurey:

Some of us are just wired differently. if you hate the element, you did probably hate the Toyota FJ cruiser.

But in all the element is a reliable vehicle if you can look pass the boxy shape

kingreign:

FJ cruiser is a very cool masculine truck. It also has heritage and pedigree. It made to pay homage to Toyota land cruiser's humble beginnings especially the BJ 40 truck.
Now, what pedigree and heritage does that piece of śhytè called the Element abi na atom has? What does it pay tribute to?
