Whats a good 1st car?

[Eman]

Im thinking about getting a hummer.. but not sure if its the right car to begin with.

[The Dude]

Buy it, if you dont I will hate you FOREVER, FOREVER, FOREVER

[Oddyssey]

subaru, But then you need to know what price range you are looking for because a oringal 1965 AC Cobra will set you back 3 million

[speed stick]

I'd say late 80's or early 90's would be alright. Not too greatly old but should be in good enough shape.

[Gilly]

my first car is an '84 Z28 Camaro. We're replacing the carpet and getting a new seat...it's gonna be so sweet when we finish it.

[Silent Warrior]

geo tracker or a mercury bobcat.

[Eaglflyrs]

Any Mazda would do just fine, seriously. I have a 1990 Mazda MX6, I have had no problems with it, it runs great, and I don't have to do a lot to it, just the basics like oil change, etc. Newer Mazdas are hot too, the 3, 6, are all lovely cars for a good price.

[Rabunis]

A Honda is a good car to learn how to drive with because they are very reliable and sexy on gas

Hell to the yeah.

Subaru's are great cars, and they'll run FOREVER, even as long as teh dude will hate you.

I currently have a subaro with 150k miles on it, and it runs like a dream still.

[Silent Warrior]

A Honda is a good car to learn how to drive with because they are very reliable and sexy on gas

true, but its still a honda.

[The Dude]

Something you wont kill yourself in, like a Chevy Celeberty or a Dodge Dynasty

[Sendok]

my first car is a '94 Lincoln Mark VIII

but w/dat said it was a hand-me down...so i didn't pay for it. *shrug*

[Gopherchux]

go for a honda, or if you want something sportier, go for an acura.

[Wraith554]

hondas are nice cars, so are mazdas they will work great for a first car

[goku2057]

Don't get a homosexual honda, they aren't safe. If you get hit by pretty much anything at a decent rate of speed, you will die.

[Sendok]

^that why i say go for a lincoln. nothing like a v8 tank :)

[goku2057]

nah, Subaru's get mostly 4-5 star ratings.

[Sendok]

^maybe so...but i still feel better in my lincoln than any other car i've driven or been in.

[Rabunis]

Hondas are small yes, but that makes parking easier to learn. :P And they are very manuverable through tight situations. True it's a slow grocery getter car but a good car to learn how to drive for sure.

[Glenn2K4]

Cool First Cars:
Honda Civic/Accord
Mazda 3
Nissan SE-R
Mitsubishi Eclipse
Pontiac Vibe
Scion xB, tC
Toyota Celica

[dncardman]

Yeah right I doubt i'll ever get a Eclipse or Celica.

[goku2057]

don't get a "Cool" car for your first, one, as you WILL wreck it.


Another up point for subaru is AWD.

[Eman]

Im a great driver dont worry.. i play plenty of nascar games ;)q

[Silent Warrior]

get a moped. chicks dig mopeds.

[X2_revolution]

Mazda makes a pretty good little stylish car. Thier cars r reliable and ussually have some "zoom-zoom" to them.

[goku2057]

I have three words for you: All Wheel Drive.

Nothing is near as cool as AWD. Trust me, or just ask the Dude.

[X2_revolution]

AWD isnt really anything important I find. My car can take me work, school, home, or just a night out with some friends just as well as any AWD car can and mine is a rear wheel drive.

[goku2057]

if you want to drive fast, and grip the road, AWD OWNS RWD. Trust me, I drive a Subaru. Both my parent's cars are RWD, and they handle like shit compared to mine.

[Eman]

Bryan talked me into getting a bmw...thoughts?

[goku2057]

Sure, get a BMW, if you can afford 5000$ in insurance per year.

[The Dude]

Actually most BMW's have a very low resale value, so you can get a lower model (like a 3 series) for pretty cheap. It would be pretty pimp to say you owned a beemer when your only 16.

AWD has its advantages and disadvatages. AWD kills your miles per gallon even on a little car. But if you live in a shitty climate (like me) They are worth it. Pluse they are tons of fun in open parking lots :1337:

[Fisheggs]

Get a old mustang with a V8 not a V6 or i will have to make fun of you.

[goku2057]

the 5.0's?

[Eman]

Sure, get a BMW, if you can afford 5000$ in insurance per year.


5000 DOLLARS?!??!

I WIPE MY ASS WITH 5000 DOLLARS OK?!


lol jk

but holy shit 5000 damn!.. thats a lot... wait but i dont plan on getting a new one.. i plan on getting like a mid 90s.. will it still be 5k?

[Fisheggs]

the 5.0's?
well doesnt mader, i have a 4.2 V8 and it is just as fast.

[The Dude]

Technically the 5.0 mustang is not 5 liters, it is 4.9 liters. They round up becuse 5.0 sounds cooler then 4.9

[goku2057]

Technically, I really don't think it matters. It's like 4.99 liters if you want to get technical.

^my Car 4.2L Mustang (it now has differnt rims now)

[Haris]

Honda/Acura.


Geos are fugly

[goku2057]

I'd say stay away from Honda's. They aren't as reliable as Subaru's anyway, and they don't have AWD either.

[Eman]

its impossible to get a real answer..everyone is bias :(

[Crow]

for a first car get something reliable and cheap, then when you dont suck as much at driving get a better one

[Bloodman]

a cab

[Rusty]

Acura Integra. There.

[speed stick]

I never really noticed until today that there are so many suped up Honda Civics. I saw so many in Calgary today while I was cruising through. They seem like a nice vehicle.

[Glenn2K4]

im starting to hate Civics because there are so many of them.
get the Mazda3 or Mazda6 if you wanna sporty small car.

[speed stick]

^How much are those cars?

[Lammie]

Mazda 6 LMAO...such a (40yr old) ladies car...
