Default 1st Car

I'm a new driver and I was hope to get some feedback on what car I should get. I want good handling of course but I want a fast car also. For cheap of course. About 3 grand

Let me be the first to welcome you to Tamparacing. However I do not believe you will find anything remotely good handling and fast for around 3k. Good luck though.

buy a honda CRX with an ls, it seems like it fits in your price range and you will have some thing to work with when you have more money to play with

crx's and civics are Great starter cars easy to work on

But to be honest id look into say somthing along the lines of nissan also.

just bottom line your first car should be a manual trans.

Any car will do.
It's how you drive it.
Put a fart pipe muffler on it and rev it up at Mustangs, Camaros, actually any V-8 will do.
You must also weave in and out of traffic without using a turn signal.
