I dont see how? I got a 280zx when I was 16 and before I was 18 we had swapped out a small block chevy that will wax most 350s on the forum. I dont know why people mock someone who is making a serious post and hasnt been like "yo dawgs Imma get me a Z and go 150mph"
Just because the majority of you guys cant drive worth a **** and are scared ****less of anything turboed doesnt mean other people cant handle it fine.

don't buy new. it's not worth it you can get one a year or 2 old for way cheaper , new cars lose their value to fast. you can pick up a couple year old car for a fraction of the price of a new one. thats my
other than that find one of each to test drive and see which one works best for you I was dead set on an STI till I drove one, ****in hated it.

Less driving experience = better driver.
Just look at the insurance premiums based on age, they will back this statistic 110%.
Some states are considering lowering the driving age to 14 to help reduce accidents.
And "Sides", lmao.
UnF'inbelievable.

I could care less what the masses think. Because when I turned 16 I idnt want to go out and buy a girly civic either. I have been a car enthusiest since I could remember and my first car was respected and well taken care of. Not every teenager drives like an a$$hole. Lets give the kid an answer to his question, not generalize. I think that a civic is a waste of money, especially if you want to mod your car. I would say your best option is an EVO, Z or RSX type S. The EVO would provide you with a 4 door economical car with some *****. The braking is amazing as well. The Z is a bit more sophisticated but remember its 2 seater, maybe wait till your second car to pick up a Z. The RSX is well rounded and pretty nice inside, although is a front wheel drive car. The Z is the most expensive to MOD. Whatever you choose, please prove these guys wrong, respect the limits and capabilities of you driving skills and your car. Do your researcg before you start to MOD, you will save alot of time and money this way. Some of us had to figure that out the hard way. Goodluck

hey dude go with what you like the best when you test drive all these cars.
I'm 17 have a Z and I don't do to much stupid ****... You just have to control yourself and just think about what your doing and make a choice if this is worth getting arrested wrecking or losing your car..

+1 if you have 10 grand then goto a bank and get a loan for 10,000 and have your parents cosign that way you have 1/2 the car paid off from the bat rather than 1/3 if you buy new.
But yeah if your coming from a civic then get a WRX its AWD and it will be easier (not better at all but easier) to handle than the Z the Z is alot better looking and still has alot of power. But its more expensive to mod and it may be a bit too much for a new driver considering its RWD.
