Which for a 16 year old thats only going to drive 4-10 miles a day, A Porsche Cayman, or a Lotus Elise?
Either a
PORSCHE CAYMAN
Manual trans, Teracotta(red) interior, black exterior, no extras just basics
or a
Lotus Elise
Manual trans, orange exterior, black interior, all basics
PS. also take into consideration – speed, handles, peformace, styling, eye catch looks or head turning effect, comfort, least theft, realibility(Will start in 5:00 am or not), insurance, gas consumption, which is best for moderate road trips, trunk space, and the one I can bring to college with me, and best to last the longest, SAFETY, & bRaNd NaMe
PS I live in California this might help to make the decision and i need to park it infront of an elementary school and then need to take an hour bus ride to HS and then 7 hours later come back to take the car home.

I REFUSE TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION BCUS U ARE A RICH MO-FO (GET THE LOTUS IT LOOKS BETTER)
How about a ’79 El Dorado…so you won’t risk it getting stolen…
This question makes me sick. Who is buying this car for a 16 year old kid? The question should sound like:
“1989 Chevy Celebrity or a 1993 Ford Escort”
A 16 year old doesn’t have the driving experience to be driving either of those cars!!! Let him drive a nice 4 cylinder until he masters the art of turning corners, taking curves, and other important driving skills before you go getting him a sports car! What’s wrong with a Toyota, a Lexus or an Infinity? Even a V6 is better. Do you know the statistics of young drivers and speed and the crashes that result from inexperienced drivers in cars that are too much for them to handle? Let him drive something less powerful for 2-3 years, and then when he’s proven that he can drive responsibly, then you offer the Lotus of course.
something easy on gas… unless you have a job…
You should probably go with the porsche, because if youre worried about theft the porsche is not as striking / headturning and that makes it a little better, but it is also better quality than a lotus.
How about a car that they buy with money they earn themselves?
They’ll respect it more, get in less accident’s (either caused by themselves or their boyfriend who promised to be really carefull)
And your insurance will be lower, it’s a win win situation
a 16 year old shouldn’t have anything TOO flashy, but it should be reliable. I wouldn’t buy anything too pricy especially if its being drivin to school.. you never know what other kids could do to it. Besides, your first car should be nothing special anyway..
Neither. A 16 year old is going to crash the car or damage it. Get something less valuable. And insurance costs alone of putting a 16 year old in a high end sports car is ridiculous. If you are concerned about gas prices, go with a hybrid. There are several affordable ones on the market, and will definitely be better suited for a teenager than a porsche or a lotus. Those cars are probably worth more than my parent’s yearly income! Go with something more affordable.
go German. I like the old Lotus better. I’d think the Elise would be more difficult to drive. And insurance is through the roof.
Lotus Elise. I drove one in Newport Beach, CA and they are fun. Not near the power I have with my Viper though.
Enjoy and have fun!!!
god i hate you……. dont buy either buy a corolla and be done with it. a Porsche anything is too much car for a 16 year old. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT AN ELISE their is no way a 16 year old could apreciate that cars performance or let alone use it. The elise is a track car you can drive on the street period
I think Cayman better meets your requirements.
Chevy Cobalt.less chance of it getting stolen.
/\ haters get the porsche u can bang chicks in the back seat
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

i didnt know that, is there another article like that? because i really wanna know more about it
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
