I'd get an Audi A1 or a Golf GTi Sport.

Think they're clean and tidy.

The most ballin ride ever

Subaru BRZ / Scion FRS / Toyota GT86 but with a small turbo/supercharger
or if you wanna truly invest, classic muscle is the way to go as they are only gonna go up as long as they are looked after.

Don't listen to these people telling you to get an Audi, BMW, etc. If you do decide that yes, you want to be THAT guy, please call an auto shop or two and request a quote for new brakes. Decide, can you afford to spend that for just brakes? Now what are other things like a new intake manifold or catalytic converter going to cost? Also, make sure it has all the dip sticks. My brother bought a 2013 Mustang and it does not have a trans. dip stick. He has to rely on the computer to tell him that the fluid is still good. He can't see if it's the right color, right level, etc. Also get a quote for insurance and decide if you can afford it. My brother pays about 300/mo for his Mustang.


On a side note, take a look at the Ford Fusion. I've been talking to a girl and her mom has one, pretty cool looking car.

I agree, European and German cars all use a special tool for every part of the vehicle, and are also a complete hassle to do the slightest thing on them. I would stick to an american or Japanese car as they are alot easier maintenance wise as well as economical when it comes to new parts, and you may be able to work on them in your own garage. The sportier the car, the more insurance will be too, as well as a bigger engine, buying the car can be easy but in the long run it can run your pockets dry.

What is it with Americans and European cars? you must have no logical mechanics over there. They are very easy to work on and cheap, just get used parts from eBay if needed and for general maintenance you can also use eBay. If you get charged over the top for work on them... learn to do it yourself.

True but nowadays not many people know how to do that, also, on american cars, I can build a house with the same tools I would use to build a car. On most imports or European cars, every bit requires a special tool specifically for one job.

Because when I repair something, I want it done, I don't want to have to back next week and re-work it. I played the cheap Ebay game and I'll tell ya, you get what you pay for.

The other thing is in America we use inches. You pull out a 13mm wrench, I pull out a 1/2" wrench. You need the tools to work on foreign cars. You also need to be able to read the directions.

Look into something that may hold its value. There are cheeper sports cars that are fun to drive like maybe a S2000 cheaper car. Or something like a Evo or a Subaru Wrx or Impreza. Im 16 and just Got a Scion Frs manual and i love it it drives great and is overall a good car.
