Well, until you realize that most full size trucks and SUVs can decapitate you (and take off some of your chest too).

You'd probably want something like a Honda Del-Sol.
It's a two seater, so insurance will kill your parents, but other than that, it's pretty inexpensive and it's cute.

Civic & Civic Si = Same damn thing. People make such a huge deal out of Si and Type R but it's what a 10 hp difference?

i feel safer in a small, maneuverable vehicle. you can avoid accidents in a small car, as opposed to a collision in an suv.

If your parents will actually spend 25 thousand dollars on your first car, forget all this Honda stuff and go get a damn BMW 3-Series. You can probably find a 2000 BMW 325 for way under 25k and that thing will smoke a corolla or crx. Shit I've beaten CRXs in my Explorer.

Actually now that I think about it, you might want to take a look at the Volkswagen Corrado. These cars are BAD ASS and they look great.

Driving a stick is easy. I taught my GF in a week to just about perfect it. As long as someone explains things to you well prior to you actually driving, you should be fine in less than a week on your own. You will never want to drive an auto more than likely.
