Good car for a teen?

Question

I'm quite a good driver and I turn sixteen in two months. My mother was wondering what kind of car I wanted and I have no idea! My sister received a BMW when she turned sixteen and that set my price limit to 35,000. I'm thinking an Audi or a BMW but do you know of any other cars that are nice? I think I'd like a Jeep SUV or a small SUV of some sorts.

Answer 1

sounds like you and your family are rich enough that it doesn't really matter

Answer 2

well for one I think your the luckiest teen in the world because 35k would buy my dream 500hp camaro ss. And if your going for foreign get a M series BMW convertible.

Answer 3

saturn sky (redline) or the pontiac solstice, saabs are very reliable. how about an audi tt, a bimmer 330 convertible seems to fit though

Answer 4

honda accord, camry, corolla

Answer 5

get a small suv like a s10 blazer  

Answer 6

Dude get either a Lanver Evo or an Impreza WRX. they both blow any beamer short of an M3 out of the water.

Answer 7

With a $35K Budget, you might as well get cars way better than the Jeep. You don't need to be bogged down with repairs on your first car. Since you are looking for small SUV, here are few decent choices in no particular order.

Toyota RAV4

Hyundai Santa Fe

Honda CR-V

Chevrolet Equinox

You could also look for Crossovers as well.

Mazda CX-7

Pontiac Vibe

Toyota Vibe

Subaru Forrester

You can use the difference to Deck out the car with Custom Carpets, Seats, Tint, BOSE Sound, etc. Something that makes the car stand out. Of course you can will need a decent alarm and Insurance.

Answer 8

The 2008 Saturn Vue is really nice. The base model comes with tons of standard options, and is less than 23,000. The Vue has a real smooth ride and it is real quiet on the inside. I think the Vue is a lot better than a Jeep. Do not go with a Jeep Liberty. I have heard that the reliability of the Jeep Liberty is not real good.

Good luck :)

Answer 9

Wow $35,000? I mean maybe you have that type of money to spend upon a vehicle, but at your age I think you need to focus on reliable and affordable. You are only 15 and when you do turn 16 you are still going to be a teenager therefore the insurance rates will be high, and with a European car such as a BMW? Wow, talk about expensive. I mean seriously if you get a first car focus on something that can get banged and dented up because it is going to be your first car. But hey it's certainly up to you and your parents.

Try looking into a Toyota Highlander, they are pretty roomy and comfortable, and the fuel economy is decent.

Answer 10

-used BMW 3 Series (might make you look snotty?)

-used Audi A4 (thats what I am looking at)

-new VW Jetta

-I'm kinda bias towards german cars... : )
