I turned 16 today! WOOO!!! I would like some mopars, please!

Kinja'd!!!

Also, my car search, which I know y'all really care about (sarcasm to the max :D) just got a bit more interesting, since my insane Serbian portion of my family has given me a completely batshit amount (IMO) for me to use for a first car!

Today is a good day

The answer is Miata or first-gen Neon R/T (or ACR). Both are great learner cars.

The answer is ZX3, because it's really a cheap (to buy and maintain) focus but when you say you drive a ZX3 they'll be confused.

What are you looking at? I'm always happy to give buying advice, even when none is wanted!

07/09/2014 at 10:55

Kinja'd!!!1

well now, that's the thing...
this bump in the budget has allowed me to look at the car I originally wanted, but couldn't afford; The Ford Mustang V6 Premium! but i'm also looking at the MK7 GTI, Juke (you know about that one...) FiST FoST...
basically anything new, sub $27K and quick

You might also look at a Mini Cooper S, 500 Abarth, or FR-S. Would your/your family be willing to do low mileage off lease/CPO vehicles? They tend to be much better value.

the cooper S is out, still too much, and I don't like the FR-S power to dollar ratio...
the 500 Abarth is a choice, actually!
CPO wise, Volvos!

Ze cooper S Stars at $24,000.

CPO Volvo- I'm guessing you're probably tempted by the C30, but why not take a look at an S60 T5 ? I know you like 5-cyl engines.

I am actually seriously considering a CPO S60 that's a lease-return at a local dealer

thing is AUTOMATIQUE IS NO FUN FOR ME!


Kinja'd!!! sm70- why not Duesenberg? > PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power
07/09/2014 at 13:54

So go for a C30. I still like them, but I guess those who have driven them are less impressed.

I would personally say that you would love the paddle-shift S60, manual or not.


Kinja'd!!! PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
07/09/2014 at 13:56

I also considered a C30, but can't find a stique equipped one within a reasonable (read: 4hour) range from me.

And I will go and drive a paddle-shifter equipped S-60 when i'm back in the US, but i'm really leaning towards that stang...

Mustang will be cooler and more fun, and it is a good car.

Volvo is not as cool, but it is probably the better car.

Still, you're 16. You can have a Volvo when you're 40. Get the 'Stang.

07/10/2014 at 02:09

Kinja'd!!!1

exactly my logic! But I will go drive the FoST, GTI, WRX, Turbo Bug, 500 Abarth...
before settling on any of them
