What is the coolest, best car for a teen?

Question

I'm a teenage guy looking for my first car. New would be nice but it's not a requirement.

I wan't my car to be cool, somewhat fast, safe (for my parents to feel good), and under $20,000 when it's all said and done.

You have any suggestions?? I am considering a scion tc.

Answer 1

Scion TC is the way to go...

Affordable, pretty good on gas and SO CUTE!

I had one.. sadly, needed to sell it and upgrade to a bigger car for my dogs (seriously, sad i know)  but I miss my scion!

Answer 2

A Tc doesn't even count as "somewhat fast"

$20,000 is alot of money when you are buying used. Buying used is in my opinion more worthwhile since the car isn't going to devalue (not to mention OBD-II was federally mandated in 1996 and from what I've heard OBD-II cars are harder to tune but I wouldn't know cause my car is a 94).

Meet the Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo. 300hp, Variable Valve Timing, safest car in its class of its time, etc.

Answer 3

Mk4 a.k.a 2000-2005 GTI 1.8t....very fast, sporty looking, its a great car

Answer 4

the TC or the Honda Civic

Answer 5

Keep in mind that you will not find a "fast" car for 20k....however you might want to look for a used VW GTI or Honda Civic Si.....

VW Jetta is safe, not very fast thought...

I am guessing you want a 2 door coupe....

you could also check out a hyundai tiburon or honda civic coupe....the tC is good though because it has lots of standard features.

i would say go with the tC or a used GTI......

good luck!

Answer 6

A teen's first car should ALWAYS be a $1000 junker.

They WILL get into at least one accident, and insurance is REALLY high.

This way, when they total it, they learn a LESSON at the same time.

Answer 7

Chevy malibu, is one of the all time safest car for a teenager to drive and you should be able to find one for the price range that you are looking for.
