I am a 16 year old girl looking for my first car. I’m going absolutely insane as time and time again I find a car, but my dad doesn’t approve, or I find a car and the reviews are terrible. I just want a cute, used car, for under ,000 (closer to ,000 would be preferred), with great safety ratings and good gas mileage. I’m buying used, so the car needs to hold it’s value. I’m basically looking for the perfect car I guess.. but I’m beginning to doubt that I’ll be able to find the car for what I want. I just need to be pointed in the right direction; I’m hoping there’s a car that fits all my criteria that I just haven’t seen yet. I will probably be carting kids around, I love bright exterior colors, and it has to be ’07 or older. I just need some ideas, any advice would be great. Thanks!
P.S. I love VW bugs, the cutesy style and cars like that. (My dad said no to the bug). I’m also looking into Honda Civics, because I like them a lot, but Hondas seem to be more expensive.
It should be 4-door, 4-cyls, not sporty. I would prefer Honda or Toyota… First time drivers usually have much more expensive car insurance, and it depends from car. You should compare insurance rates while choosing the car – for example here – carquotes.fateback.com
A Pinto, those cars are great and protect you in crashes.
A Honda Civic is a great car choice, it has good ratings and a new Honda civic can be fairly cheap, and a used one can be less than $2,000. If you want a good retro car for a cheap price, a nice Datsun would be a good idea.
