Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by Blueschew at 7:50 am on Oct. 25, 2008 Ok so I'm 15 and I have to choose a car soon. My dad is a freak about safety so it has to be safe, but the plus side is he'll go semi-expensive. My brother got his car a few years ago it was a Volvo s40 about 28,000 when he bought it used. I'm looking for a car not a  jeep, SUV, or truck. (Good gas mileage is quite important too since I'm paying for my own gas.) -- Posted by switchfoot52 at 7:51 am on Oct. 25, 2008 well then dont get a pontiac grand am-good on gas but when u crash into a school bus ur dead. get a honda or vw if u want safety -- Posted by hide and seek at 7:52 am on Oct. 25, 2008 vw beetle. -- Posted by Blueschew at 7:54 am on Oct. 25, 2008 I am a male by the way. -- Posted by GongShow at 8:02 am on Oct. 25, 2008 Quote: from switchfoot52 at 7:51 am on Oct. 25, 2008 well then dont get a pontiac grand am-good on gas but when u crash into a school bus ur dead. get a honda or vw if u want safety Your a girl.

Don't tell people what car to get. You're hilarious.  Truly. -- Posted by soldierofjustice3 at 8:19 am on Oct. 25, 2008 Fuck safety. At 15, I have to say, you need something slow and very far from boy racer land. Go for an 08 civic Ex. Its got everything you could want, plus good gas miliage. Or, you can be a dick, and buy something stupidly fast. Evo, STi, 350z, MS3, Si, GTi. Now's a great time to go fast for cheap. -- Posted by espresso8097 at 8:24 am on Oct. 25, 2008 At the very most for a new driver I would say don't go much more than 200bhp. -- Posted by Lala ninja at 8:31 am on Oct. 25, 2008 i wanna car! -- Posted by ss454 at 8:33 am on Oct. 25, 2008 Quote: from espresso8097 at 11:24 am on Oct. 25, 2008 At the very most for a new driver I would say don't go much more than 200bhp. I'm in luck then.  I'm sporting a good 115 or so. -- Posted by drifting at 9:43 am on Oct. 25, 2008 If gas millage is an issue, and daddy is paying for it, get a fucking Prius. It may not be the most manly car, but seriously, if you are getting a free car, you really should be getting some sort of hybrid. -- Posted by GongShow at 10:32 am on Oct. 25, 2008 Quote: from soldierofjustice3 at 8:19 am on Oct. 25, 2008 Fuck safety.   At 15, I have to say, you need something slow and very far from boy racer land.

Its not worth the money. -- Posted by soldierofjustice3 at 10:36 am on Oct. 25, 2008 Quote: from GongShow at 7:33 pm on Oct. 25, 2008 And don't buy a new civic, or even a recent one. Its not worth the money. The current gen civs, are sweet. Mazda 3 would also be a good buy. -- Posted by ss454 at 10:59 am on Oct. 25, 2008 Inb4 Ford Tempo. -- Posted by IMPALA at 12:06 pm on Oct. 25, 2008 ford tempo -- Posted by ss454 at 12:13 pm on Oct. 25, 2008 Quote: from IMPALA at 3:06 pm on Oct. 25, 2008 ford tempo Called it. -- Posted by FTF at 2:09 pm on Oct. 25, 2008 Quote: from ss454 at 8:33 am on Oct. 25, 2008 Quote: from espresso8097 at 11:24 am on Oct. 25, 2008 At the very most for a new driver I would say don't go much more than 200bhp.

I REALLY, REALLLY, hope you're fucking kidding. A Prius? LOL. Don't kid yourself guy. I'd rather by 20,000 dollars worth of hookers, end up in jail, and be shit out of money at the same time then be caught dead in a Prius. Garbage vehicles. You think you're oh so green until you realize that cobalts, civics, cavaliers, are getting 5mpg less than a Prius (man they came a long way..) and if kept maintained, hardly pollutes anymore than a prius does. OMFG EVERYONE GO GREEN, DRIVE A PRIUS. lol, shut the fuck up. -- Posted by drifting at 5:03 pm on Oct. 26, 2008 Quote: from GongShow at 7:53 pm on Oct. 26, 2008 Quote: from drifting at 9:43 am on Oct. 25, 2008 If gas millage is an issue, and daddy is paying for it, get a fucking Prius.  It may not be the most manly car, but seriously, if you are getting a free car, you really should be getting some sort of hybrid.

OMFG EVERYONE GO GREEN, DRIVE A PRIUS. lol, shut the fuck up. You have to drive good, and work to get anywhere near the same millage that a Prius gets. Ok, yes, the Prius is a little sissy. Get a different car. Hybrid. OP said he has to pay for his own gas, so he might as well get something that will help him out in that area. (and since I didnt get it in my first post, OP is a spoiled assfuck for getting daddy to buy him a car) -- Posted by FTF at 5:41 pm on Oct. 26, 2008 Please. Prius is fucking pointless. If you give a flying fuck about miles-per-gallon get diesel or a super light subcompact. The new '08 Jetta TDI diesel is safer, better built, more luxurious, and gets almost 15MPG on average better then Prius. Not to mention it will be more reliable. Prius becomes useless and worthless the second the batteries die. -- Posted by drifting at 5:50 pm on Oct. 26, 2008 Quote: from Punkrocker 1992 at 8:41 pm on Oct. 26, 2008 Please.

Kinda defeats the purpose. -- Posted by GongShow at 6:55 pm on Oct. 26, 2008 Well I'm pretty sure everyone knows that the Prius is a piece of fucking garbage. The only way it even gets 40mpg is because toyota took all the weight out of it. shitty interior, etc etc etc Pretty sure Top Gear blew it up for a reason, and they even accepted the new mustang gt.
