If it's your first...try a slow one ...don't buy a 300 hp car ...because there's a good chance of appearing on the news...with your car in a tree ! So until u learn get a slow one !

Yep, if it's your first one, try a slow one.
My first was an old Opel Kadett with 45hp... and it took me everywhere I wanted to go. Old, slow, but I loved it.

None of them for the most part. Unless you have plenty of money, don't bother with them... they're not great on reliability.

Chev are the best, I had mine since 2005 and hadn't had to do much repairs besides brakes. It's a 98, and it already had 150,000 km's on it. Although, once when I was driving a plastic part inside the engine just fell out and I had to get a tow but it still didn't cost very much money to get it fixed. If you were to get something like a mercedes, they are expensive to fix. Even the old ones so I wouldn't recommend it, same with BMW. Although if I could afford it I would get a BMW, but still not for a first car.

Mercedes and Ford are worst, although maybe more Mercedes. The most common problem you get in Fords is electrics. It really does depend on the specific car though, some are better than others. I'd say the best of the bunch would be BMW. But they are expensive, and parts are expensive. My dad just told me today that a BMW came into the workshop where he works... either an X3 or X5... and the owner said a set of 4 tyres cost close to £1000, or around $1650.
But it really does depend on the specific car model.

I forgot the age limit is less over there... and hardly anyone drives underage here. Of those 4, go for BMW, but not a flash fast one. Not good for a first car.

Those are nice and cheap. I was gonna buy a saturn a week ago for 600 bucks, for a cheap car for work. Those civics.....ehhhh.... I dunno man. They are cheap on fuel. But if you planned on buying a used one, check the underneath out. They tend to rot to hell on the entire undercarriage. And the older ones aren't very comfortable to drive, you can feel every bump.

Mhmm^^^ I suggest a.... ..... ...... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... BIKE! Car safer Just a couple months ago I was ridding my bike in town and and a car was trying to outrun a yellow light and I hit the car cost like 800$ just to fix the damage that I caused.. Which the law is that ppl have the right away on the road not cars but I think that dude did know that and we asked him if we wanted to call the cops and he said no he didnt want to so we didnt and so we had to pay the money but if we would have called the law we wouldnt have to pay anything he would have to pay us...

ROFL. IF that's not stupidity, I don't know what is. Sorry but you're stupid for paying him money and not calling the cops. If that was me he would not only recieve a royal beatdown, he'd be buying me a new bike.
