my first car

[pzz]

hi everybody!
I turned 16 a couple months ago and I need to start looking for my first car. I was wondering what everyones oppoinion is.... I need a car that is AWD or a car that is known for performing pretty well in the snow since I live in Westchester NY. The highest price should be around 30k-35k. I am also looking for a car that performs well, and has a sleek look. I have some experience with fast cars from my brother who used to have a Turbo Lexus IS300. After my first ride in his car I was bitten by the car bug.:D
Thanks and look forward to learning more about cars!:thumbsup:

Go Subaru!...or if you are mechanicly inclined and have a good paying job..get a DSM

[pzz]

Hi, thanks for such a quick response but the only draw back I have on the subaru is the interior. But you gotta love that STI!!:burnout:

[A2VR6]

hmm 30 - 35k US? I would look into an EVO as well... and if your a dash stroker and care alot about interiors then a Golf R32 might fit your bill, but it's not as fast as an evo or an sti.

or the m35

Make sure you don't help the young unresponsible driver stereotype by racing on the steets.

Everything I see a 16 yr old kid who is full of himself and no fear getting anything over 200HP I cringe.

If you dont like the interior of the subaru , then you wont like the EVO eather LOL ... Hrm good sleek car for a new driver , how about a G35? WRX?

Yeah, I really like the R32 and the G35....the only draw back to the G35 is that its back seat is so small. One other car I really like is the Merc c32 AMG but I dont know how people would react to a mercedes as my first car.....

I am not really looking into a race car....more like a car that can go while still having luxury
Is the R32 easy to modify?

you should never get that fast of a car as your first car. you shouldn't even be considering it to be honest. a base wrx or R32 would still be a little too fast for a beginner driver but at least the AWD will help with control. the best advice i can give you would be to be patient with gettin your own car (i'm 19 now and still planning on waiting 2 more years or so) or if you can't drive your parents car, get something used that you can really hone your driving skills with. it would be a damned shame to make an inexperienced mistake with an expensive car and muck it all up. hope you'll consider this, good luck. :thumbsup:

Just make sure that you are or know a transmission rebuilder if you buy a 5-speed WRX.:D

When I was 16 I made $4.50/hour and drove a 84 Olds Omega.
:( :banghead:

[sputnik]

When I was 16 I made $5.50/hr and drove an 81 Chevy Malibu.

I saved my money and bought a house when I turned 23 instead of having nothing in the bank and a 7 year old car behind the apartment.

[Mr. Burns]

Get an A4 2.0t w/ Quattro.

When I was 16 I made $7.00/hour and drove a 73 Chev Nova. I had to wait two years to get a decent looking car, and its still slow.

There are a few mods for em but they're insanely expensive (ex. HPA twin turbo converisions are around 20k) but with the 3.2 VR6 your basically stuck with just doing suspension mods and stuff like that unless you want to turbo it or something. Also I believe all the new R32's are sold out in the states and the only chance you'll be able to get one is to get a used one. I would also look into the A3 once it comes out with the 2.0T those engines are easy as hell to modify.

I wish I had 35K US to spend when I was 16 :(

you and me both

[ex1z7]

I'm 17 and I make 9/hr and drive an 87 Accord.

35K us.. One can hope :|

[pzz]

I think I have ruled out WRX because I see too many kids my age driving them trying to show off....and they just look ridiculous and I dont wanna turn out like that.
To the person who said A3 I have to say that thing is pretty ugly
I could also get a b5 S4 my older brother just got one, but I want to try and be different.

probably one of the coolest carss to evr drive! I wish i had tha tas my first car :'(

[euro_racer]

when i was 16 i drove a jetta :poosie:

id sugest since you just started out driving get something below 10k for the safety of yourself and others until you have a bit more experience and become more mature on the road :thumbsup:

[90Tegra]

I have a friend he is aproximately my age 17 for his first car he bought a 95 sr and droped a srv engine, he put all the shit into his Na car. in 2 month he put around $9000 into his car and guess wut all that went down the toilet cuz he crashed it last week and the car was written off.

So Just Buy A Corolla se

[telemans]

Get a 300c or a magnum they come in all wheel drive and look beautiful, oh yea and a hemi.

[Proyecto2000]

lucky kid

im 19 been working for like a year and i still take the bus :rofl:

[pzz]

My parents are buying the car for me, and in all honesty they do not know that much about cars. So they think anything sub 20k is too crappy and unsafe for me to drive :drama: (I know that sounds weird). So that basically rules out all those old cars. Anyways thanks for all your help everyone.:thumbsup:

[iceburns288]

Don't put any money into your car, it will be wasteful. Invest it, spend it doing something useful or saving it up. I know it sounds stupid, but I'm probably the richest-ass teen on Beyond:rofl: and I know where you're coming from...

[jasonybu]

[pzz]

I did not come to this forum to brag about how much money my parents have....I came to ask for advice on what car to buy! And yes I know how fortunate I am to have parents that are able to afford a nice car for me

Actually I was looking into getting one, but there not very useful in the snow. And Id probably crash it :nut:

[A2VR6]

Well i bet if you get anything and put on a set of snow tires you would be fine in the snow if you dont drive like a dumbass.

[comb]

when I was 16 I made $7.45/hour, and didn't drive anything....that was 2 years ago, lol

now im drivin a '05 corolla le, reason for it is that it is very low on gas, and im on a student budget

[DonJuan]

I;m a full time student as well (3rd year Geology). I pay for school and also for my car. I work 30+ hours a week (during school) to support my car habit. Oh and it is an addiction! So all you guys crying about being a student keep whining. Wha wha... My vote is for the EVO :thumbsup:

[Troy]

this is probably the 30th kid to come on beyond and say he has all this cash to spend on a car when in reality he most likely isnt even getting a car

You don't even no me, why would I waste my time asking for advice if I wasn't even getting a car? :banghead: And as I mentioned before I am not paying for the car, so next time read more carefully. :thumbsup:

One word interior :barf: lol
I dont only care about speed

[JAYMEZ]

^^ Whats wrong with the interior? Have you even been in one? LOL

[pzz]

Actually I have my friends brother has one.....
And since the car costs 30 grand id expect something better than a dash that looks like a dodge caravan:D lol

[Bones21]

16, $14 p/h, '91 chev 3/4 ton black with almost 350 horse.

[DannyO]

Gotta say for a 16 year old who is gonna be getting a ton of cash thanks to his parents, hes got a good attitude, :thumbsup:

I dunno what to suggest for a car, how about a Volvo like the S60, good power, nice looking car, AWD, and Volvo are known to be one of the safest cars around, only down side is unless you get the S60R, you will have to have an Auto tranny, other than that how about an SUV?
