What would be a good first car.....im 17 and definitely want a used car with a manual transmission

Question

my parents will be purchasing my car and they will probably spend around 10k-15k for a used car ive thought about getting a used rx8 but insurance and gas for the car would be expensive ive also considered 06 scion xb, honda fit, and mitsubishi lance any advice?

Answer 1

well i just got my first car about two months ago. i bought an 05 civic  for 13K and its a really great car. the insurance isnt as expensive because it isnt considered a "sports car" (but it still looks sporty) and it gets really great mpg (35+ combined.) the trims dx, lx, and ex have 140 hp and the si has 200 hp so if you want a faster car go with the si.

i personally dont like the look of the newer civics so thats why i went with the 2001-2005 generation and because it was more affordable!

also keep in mind that hondas last forever and are cheap to maintain and repair!!! (there are also TONS of parts available for modification!!)

best of luck

=)

Answer 2

dodge neon srt4.

Answer 3

For 10-15k, you can probably get a previous generation BMW 3-series with 75,000-100,000 miles on it.  Hook up with a good German car specialist for maintenance, and you'll have classy ride with balls until you're able to afford a new car for yourself.

Answer 4

the Honda Fit is a great car. Its compact, good on gas, stylish, affordable, and has a nice drive to it.

The lancer is unreliable, overpriced, and lacks in power.

the xB is the same.

Try looking into:

Honda Civic

Acura Integra

VW Golf/GTi/Jetta

Answer 6

civic

accord

camry

something cheap and sturdy that you can bounce off curbs, bushs, and trash cans, for 2-3 years until you actually learn to drive...

then trade the wreck in on something nice....

Answer 7

If you are looking for sporty and speed for first car, you can try looking for  second hand Nissan 300ZXs or 240SXs.

If you want reliability and fuel efficiency, I'd say you should go for toyotas! Camry or Corolla are my personal favorite  

Answer 8

2005 Honda Civic.  

1. In your price range

2. Low insurance

3. Sporty looks

4. Dependable

Answer 9

Civic coupe.

Altima
