tC9o9

i drove around in a 1996 nissan sentra gxe..

it was a pos, but i loved it.

the car actually had some potential so i fixed it up, i turbo'd the 1.6 it had, then the motor blew, then i swapped it for a 2.0, then turbo'd that and then the tranny blew.. so i fixed it and did some cosmetic mods, and when it was finally reaching its peak, my dad spontaneously gave it away...

but then i got my tC

first car was a 82 Toyota Cressida had over 200k miles on it, drove it till had enough money saved up to get a new car.
So if you have enough saved for a new car get an econo car like xb, yaris, fit, civic. They last and are cheap on insurance too.
Otherwise used from 90-98 model camry's or accords.

Look for safety,reliability,and economy. It's hard to beat a good used Camry for these virtues.

91-94 Nissan sentra, it will run forever and shouldent give any problems. or you can go to mexico and get a 2006 nissan tsuru for about 5k, and the best thing is it looks just like a 91-94 sntra

considering im a 17 yr old and did get my car when i was 16. thank you to my parents. id suggest to get a brand new cheap car reliable japanese car. so you wont have to worry about it breaking down any time soon. like the honda fit or the toyota .. that super small toyota.. i forgot what its called...

my first car was a 98 ford exploder(explorer) i got that when i was 16, and i drove the hell out of it. maxed out the speed, drove everywhere around texas, now im 18 and i got the tC. just start somewhere crappy and move up.

The Versa is built in Mexico. So doesn't tht mean bad build quality? But a Yaris sounds like a good car. Not trying to thread jack but do you guys think I shouldn't get an xB as my first car?

i say xB as first car, i mean, its only got 108 or so horse so i ain't gonna be flying around at 100 often, and it has room for friends(mainly for transportation to give rides home and such cause lots of kids live by me) and it also has some cargo room so when i go to college i can take stuff in my car, depending on how far away i go.

and i just love the car

I'm thinkin the same thing!!

I thought w/all the new restrictions you wouldn't be having passengers anyway?

YourNameHere

the key word is "SLOW" your 16, your gonna beat the crap out of it. dont get a new car. get something old for 500 bucks and go have fun.

NOBnol23

no restrictions on passengers has been made.........YET, but my mom will most likely say only like, 2 kids in the car for like 6 months or something

bBlover

I wouldn't beat the crap out of it, I drive the tC and I don't beat the crap out of that. Who's gonna tell if I have passengers? ;)

2001-2002 Saturn SL. Very cheap. Very good on fuel and there are not fast. The perfect learning car. Did I mention they are dent resistent.

jonathan110987

in texas there are restrictions, onle one passenger that is not immediate family for the first 6 months. who knows bow the cops tell the difference.
