Which would be a better car for a 17 year old as a graduation present?

Question

a 2004 - 2005 Honda Civic EX coupe, or a Scion tC?

I'm looking for a car with the most reliability, and least amount of problems. Including mechanical, electrical, etc. And one that would sound the best with a racing muffler or exhaust on it.

I know Honda makes a good car, and I know Scion is made by Toyota and they make good cars, I think I'm leaning more towards the Civic, but not entirely sure....

I just need some advice...

please help??

Answer 1

I would go with the Civic. There is more after market support due to being a more established brand, plus a wider dealer support network if the car breaks down.

Answer 2

You should also compare insurance quotes for these cars before buying one, for example here: http://autoinsurance.undonet.com

Young drivers usually have much higher rates because they have much higher risk of accident. And it depends from car model.

Answer 3

Honda

the Scion does not handle like a sports car.

it's more looks than go.

Answer 4

I say a 2005 Honda Civic  i mean there okay but it's better than a Scion tc....wat do u think?

Answer 5

That's a tough one.  Honda and Toyota are two of the best brands out there, and the cars you mentioned are both good cars.  Take whichever fits your style better.

Answer 6

Both cars will be reliable, no doubt there. It just depends on your style/preference, as another user wrote.

I like the TC better, I'm a 25 yr old but that's my opinion. (they have a model with a great big sunroof).
