I know my fair share about cars but im just wondering what some other car enthusiasts might say. Im sixteen i live in chilliwack BC if your from the states and dont know what our weather is like its comparable to Seattle. Its my first car i probably wont be getting it for a while but im still looking anyways. This is my list as of now.
Subaru Impreza (not wagon) i like the rally car look preferably the wrx
Honda civic SIR ( the hatchback versions that were made around 03)
Honda Element
Mini Cooper
300zx
nissan skyline (i know its a right hand drive but it shouldn’t be to hard to learn
acura RSX
Also if you have any additional info about RX7′s or Porsche 944′s that would be great i really like them but i dont think i could afford the upkeep on repairs and stuff thanks
Best Deal Ads :
It’s your first car, you’re going to destroy it. I would get something cheap. Get a nice car when you’re ready.
Well the more expensive the car the more expensive the repair and insurance will be for example I love the mini cooper and that would be my first choice but its made by BMW and the repairs will cost as well as insurance same goes for the acura (which is what I drive) Honda civic is a good car I would go with that
Honda civic SIR; beautiful car, very reliable, cheap to run. Just an all round good car
Edit**
If its your first car, i would highly recommend a toyota starlet 1.3, hatchback petrol. Great first car, fast, very cheap insurance and tax and petrol.
All the cars you mentioned are crap buy American
Go with the Impreza. It’s AWD system will help you out in the rain and snow… which you probably get alot of where you live.
Honda Element, you can haul more @$$e$ and lots of room to do your thing in it. Of all the cars you mentioned, the Element probably has the cheapest insurance. But I would go for the Impreza WRX. It has AWD, good HP, reliable, and looks ready to tackle any road surface in any weather condition.
****READ THIS AND LOOK AT THE WFSB IMAGES****
Beware of the Subaru Impreza WRX. It’s a high performance package that inspires overconfidence. In Connecticut it’s known as the “Teen Coffin”. No fewer than seven teenagers were killed in major crashes in this vehicle in 2007, including a brother and sister in one accident.
A good line up there and cars that you will enjoy.
Which one is one that suits your needs and suits your budget as maintenance on performance cars comes with a cost,and repairs often and more always are expensive also.Also the need on many performance cars to use high octane fuel no matter what any one says myself have driven many many performance car over 18 years and you def high octane fuel if the car ask for it.
Other needs are room myself take my wife’s family out and the Grandma is in her 80′s so luckily having two kids my car is a 2 door but also roomy this has been an issue and put us off cars like the supra MK4 and the prelude in the past.

The skyline wise is a great car and they are getting old now so now is the time to get one while there are ones out there,Myself was that impressed with the R32 when we changed cars i stuck with the skyline and now have the R33 spec 2 and selling soon for an R34 version.
Driving on the wrong side is easy myself drove abroad in mine where they drive on the opposite side to the UK roads and i found it no problem at all and overtaking wise you are close to the kerb and no one drives that close to the kerb so you have more room to see what’s coming on the inside then i bet you would on the outside and peeping around vehicles whilst sticking out.
You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – autoinsurance.undonet.com
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.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
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.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
