Help with First car !!!! All Read

ive really got a problem with inexperienced drivers getting their hands on high performance cars. already 2 of my friends have crashed within weeks of being able to go on the roads by themselves in all things an EB Falcon with its mighty 150kw of power in 1600kg.

i would definately recommend a volvo 850 t5, my dad had one and they are pretty quick cars. get the t5-R if you can coz they are definately the best and were tuned for volvo by Tom Walkinshaw Racing. they make 250 hp standard and sit on pretty hard suspension and 17 inch mags. The ordinary t5 makes 230-240 horsepower and still have the solid suspension but smaller 16 inch mags and they don't have the body kit.
One problem though...if you were to break anything on them, they can take a pretty big chunk out of your wallet. If you want cheap servicing and parts go in the japanese direction.
Good luck!

You're 16. You probably aren't even able to drive properly since you refuse a manual AND you are going to waste 20.000 $ on a high HP car ? You're sick of your life ? Seriously get a max. 5000 $ car and waste the rest of the money on girls and enjoy your life. Get a car that weighs 1200kg and makes 120-130 bhp. That'll do ya. Ever thought about insurance and gas ?

wrong forum btw

I personially suggest a Ford escort. It is Zippy, fun to drive, easy to drive, The Ford Escort is THE PERFECT FIRST CAR.

Id like to get the firebird, but i mite have to go with the volvo, but ive had experience with a few cars but not any sporty ones, mainly trucks and suvs.

I recommend you go get a IS300 that car is automatic and it has the tiptronic shifting if you ever want that manual car feel. A BMW would be nice too.
