What car?

Polo is a high risk car. You don't want his mother to be watching over her shoulder all the time.
Apparently the i20 is also in demand by the hijackers since it got so popular.

Honda Jazz FTW

b/c no one wants to steal a Jazz or there are no hijackers who are 70yrs or older?

Nah, the Etios is far better than the Kia or Jazz!
Also its a Toyota is has pedigree and will hold its resale value better than the others.
Service and maintenance for the Toyota is second to none!

Really? Is this not the same Jazz that has been picked as the best small car for a few years running, and which has some of the highest customer service ratings around?

marine- get a used Jazz. The other are of a considerably lower calibre.
 
Fiat 500C, with the convertible roof - it's a huge downgrade, but she'll feel so funky & they are really economical, too.
 
marine what's wrong with the merc? Those are usually pretty decent cars.
 
I can't understand why you comparing money against your own mom.
seriously, safety and security comes always first. the extra money will be well spend

Toyota pedigree lol.
Service and maintenance yes, pedigree no chance. Are you the type would would stick 17" mags, free flow exhaust and add a TRD sticker to the back of a Etios?

Even Toyota salesmen think the Etios is kaaaak

The Etios would have won car of the year this year!!
Higher resale than the others.
Will run for years, look at the tazz and run x demand at the moment.

Have you driven an Etios? I had one from Avis a few months ago, it felt very cheap. The sticker on the rev counter even looked skew.

Which brand do you sell?

:)
 
Kopite he clearly does not have the money for a car that has a 5 star rating, i can however suggest kia cerato if you do marine.

Also the picanto is fantastic car, when my car was at the panel beaters i drove it for a week and it was awesome.
 
Why do companies insist on making their cars look so cheap by using those cheap silver plastic trimmings, yuck! I doubt it would cost that much more to make the interior look better.

Plastic is extremely cheap, easily molded and durable. For budget cars give me another option that even comes close to the price and durability of plastic. Please note ponder i am just asking not giving you a hard time :D. For me i was only able to spend 190k luckily the cerato was on special. Cheap looking interior but everything else that really matters is top quality.

I would worry about the interior if i was in the high end market. If i had the money i might have gone for this http://www.kia.co.za/vehicles/optima, that interior looks pretty good if you got 400k to spend.

Why not spend the money on sorting the merc out ?
I'm sure your mom was not hammering it from traffic light to traffic light.
I am guessing most of the work would probably be cosmetic.
How much milage has it done ?

You can make plastic look good, my complaint is not so much about the plastic but the way they implement it.

I was "upgraded" to the Etios last time I hired a car and it was awful.
 
Nothing a TRD sticker and 17" mags can't sort out... not.
