Hello, I’m looking for a car for my 71-year-old father. His requirements are: 1. high and good seating position 2. good overview 3.strong motor(he used to be a test editor at a car magazine) Driving he will be so in about 5,000-7,000km a year so the consumption does not play such a big role. Mainly solid and not so incredibly expensive in the maintenance. Also the vehicle should be reliable. His budget is about 8,000 euros Here are a few ads I have selected: 1. Re nault Scenic 2006 2.0 16V Exception( 163 PS), 56,000km, 6,950 Euro 2. VW Touran 2.0 FSI Goal, year 2006( 150 PS), 120.000km, 7,500 Euro VB 3. Opel Meriva OPC( 179 PS), year 2006, 99,000km, 7,990 Euro Are there any other alternatives or are these engines in order (my father likes rubber on the highway) and what about the durability of these vehicles or the engines? Thanks in advance luckyphil
