I think a used nice Honda Civic would a great first car. The Civic is safe, inexpensive to mantain and easy to find used in good condition.

Yea i was thinking about a civic, reliable, inexpensive etc. Cool cars. I was thinkign of getitng a brand new car for my first car if my mom does put in teh rest liek she said she would. If i do get a brand new car i was thinking of a gti. Just searchigna round and brainstorming. Only thing about having my mom pay for like half is she is going to be like, i payed for half so its part mine. And take the car alot. I rather just use my 6-7 grand and buy my own car.

it's been my experience Hondas barely break a sweat @ 100k, as long as they haven't been beat too bad.. not sure about other imports..

my 87 vw golf was at 182k when i sold it, and the engine was great.. just needed a lil front end work

You'll totally FUCK UP your first car in no time. Get something used and drive it for a couple years and if it's still in piece trade up for a new car.

I totally destroyed my first car in a couple years without even being in a single accident. The car was mint when it was given to me and looked like a feature car in the Mad Movie when I was done.
