What Makes For A Good First Car?
I’m pretty sure almost all of us here hate it when someone at your high school who has a brand new sports car and is probably a douche. It makes you jealous and you say how spoiled that person is. Is a brand new Ford Mustang GT a good first car? I don’t think so; here are some great qualities for a first car.
-Fuel efficient
-Practical
-Reliable
-Slow and easy to control
-Cheap
Some cars that fit this description are a Honda Civic, VW Jetta TDI or a Subaru Impreza Wagon.
I think that a first car should be something that’s rusty, not in the best condition and something that needs work. A first car shouldn’t take a lot of skill and restraint to control, so a new Dodge Hellcat for me is a no go. A Foxboy Mustang that’s seen better days might be a good first car. It can teach a kid to fix cars and how they work, and they learn to appreciate it. A car that needs fixing up can be a good time to bond with your kids.
Let’s face it, the risk of teens wrecking within the first 2 years of driving is pretty high, so why give them something nice and easy to crash? Give them something that if they wreck it, it’s not THAT big of a deal if they do crash it.
In conclusion, for my petrolhead kids, possible first rides are a non M BMW E36 coupe, Mazda Miata and an old Mustang. Feel free to comment below as to what you’ll give YOUR future children for their first car.

Ill buy him a robin reliant shell and say. If you want something better get a job
Erm. It’s a big deal if I crash my AE86, which is my first car XD. I should get a cheap ass Subie wagon for college just in case.
For ny future kids I’ll probably get them Subaru WRXs. Don’t worry, I’ll train them well enough to handle it by the time they get their licenses ;)
Your beard makes it even better
That’s not my picture lol
A good first car is the Dacia sandero

A Toyota
I think my project car would be a good first car :) (before I started building it). A Lada Samara 1.5 1997 :) Fuel efficuent, easy to work on, small, cheap and slow :) may not be easy to drive but you learn fast :) it is my 6th car but it’s the best car ever :D now it’s tottaly rebuilt and low as f… :)
How can you give a car to someone who will never exist?
How could parents tell you not to buy a certain car?
If you’re not a little 12yo kid and it’s your money and you are going to pay insurance etc. Then it’s your choice.
