l need to know what car to get at 16...

mitsubishi eclipse convertable

Same thing my daughter wanted at your age, and eventually got.a bright red mustang convertible!
However, l would not let her have that. Instead l got her a sweet used silver Honda Accord with a sun roof.
She got the mustang after college, and still drives it.

Honda Civic Coupe.

l would say get a Mercedes SLR. it mite be expensive but if you have the money that is a hot car..especially if your into fast sport cars..

Nissan 350z

05-08 Ford Mustang sexy,slim lines and really cool, Mustangs NEVER go out of STYLE!!

well, since you are basically buying a car for looks, then you should probably also look at what cars a cheap to fix in case you forget to change the oil and have routine maintenance done and what cars are cheap on insurance since you are a new driver and will most likely get into a fender bender.

l say, a honda civic or 2 door accord.

l would get Lexus Is 250 AWD and it is nice car

it is affordable.
it has nice sound system.
really good on gas.
nice style
it is reliable
Used is always better than brand new.

l would suggest a Mitsubishi Eclipse 08 OR a Mazda Miata, For they are both considered Girls cars, But then again they are only 2 seater. But they are cool,fast and sexy cars.

For anyone who is 16:

A late 90 is Honda Civic or Toyota Camry. They last a long time, great on gas, cheap to fix and are very easy to park.

Learning to drive with one of these is your best bet.

Before l start, l do come from a wealthy family & wealthy area, so l know many of u may not agree with me.

A used luxury car, BMW or Audi, Maybe Lexus, is always a good option, since they have alot of safety features that other cars (Honda, Toyota) of that model year would not have. As said above, a Lexus IS, used, is a great idea, since they r part of Toyota, so u will have a very reliable car.

l think 2 seater cars a good for kids with parents who do not want many kids in a car. A used BMW Z3 or Z4, or Audi TT, or a Toyota Spyder. You really need to check with all dealers in ur area, since there is such a wide range of cars.

My favorite car, if u want to be cost cutting, is the Mini Cooper, Toyota Camry, or the NEW Honda Accord. They r all stylish & fuel efficient. The Mini is great since it gets amazing mileage ( l think about 30-35 mpg???) & they r quite nice cars.

Be warned though.my friend will be getting his Mom is BMW when he goes into highschool. It is an 05 530xi, very powerful. Last year a teenager crashed his Mustang GT, & one of his friends was killed. Nice cars will make some people jealous of you, so watch out for people trying to key ur car. And never get a car that is too fast to handle.

Some that you can afford and understand.

Let me put it on terms that you can understand. You take a Pig and dress it on Carolina Herrera, Prada shoes and all the expensive accessories that you can find. well, still a Pig. A car does not make a woman, a real woman make herself a woman.

So if a pig buys a Lexus, well the Pig is dumb Lexus owner.

Do catch my drift ;-)

Lexus IS 250
Cool colors: Glacier Frost, Breakwater Blue, or Matador Red

Is a hot looking car
Its reliable (made by toyota)
It will hold its value better than almost any car on the market
It has good power, but not too much
It has incredible handling
Leather, sun roof, power everything, anti-lock brakes, and like 8 air bags are standard

A hot girl can drive a beat-up '76 pinto and still be a hot girl. The girl makes the car. The car does not make the girl.

But... A white Lexus ES350 driven by a cute girl with long hair, sunglasses and high heels looks pretty dam good. Like hot and classy all at once. beep, beep

well if you want a luxury car its definatly the BMW 3 series. if you want a basic l would say the civic coupe.

Maddie,

Everyone has given u some good advice. l would ask someone who works on different makes of cars if they r willing to help u with ur car buying. l am certain that u have a few choices in mind already. Start with making a list of things

1) Write down things that r important to ur parents.
2) Things that is important to u in a car & why?
3) What u do not like in a car.
4) Make a list of cars u like. Maybe the top five. Also top five colors u like.
5) Share this information with ur helper (someone who can help u through the process). Sit down & talk about ur notes & ask for his or her advice on ur selection. Be sure u have at least three u can shop for.

Be patient & do not let any sales person talk u anything u do not need. One exception, safety. Be sure to take ur helper/advisor with u when shopping for the car.

One last word of advice: Cars will likely cost more than u expect. Make sure u add all the taxes & fees to ur budget.

Good luck.

Acura TL or G35
