Driving experience AND maturity level play a major role in accidents.
If the driving age were to be raised to 30-32, it is a given that auto accidents would decrease.

Get a house - get a car - then worry about a girlfriend. Do not share a mortgage/rent with her unless youre positive youll end up marrying her. Moving in with someone without the guarentee or marriage is one of the stupidest and most troublesome mistakes you can make. I should know. I made it twice
Worry about number one and when the time comes number two will be easier to maintain.

In reality, it would be from both. In my analysis, I am just focusing on the age/maturity level aspect.
If it were possible for the same # of drivers to be on the road and the driving age be set at 30 yrs+, yes there would still be far less accidents IMO.

I'm sure you will deny this up and down. It's okay, I expect that.
The thing is, you're not getting the answer you want. When that happens, you instantly recoil and lash out at the source of the unpleasantness, without first deciding if the unpleasant thought might be a correct one. If you can look at the question beyond just getting the answer you want and expect, and view it objectively, you will see that this is about the dumbest thing you can do at this point in your life. A brand-new sports car should be so far down your priority list right now that to even discuss it is laughable.
Don't forget all of us old fogies (I'm 26, I guess I don't fit into either of the two convenient categories here) once were teenagers, and maybe we actually know what we're talking about. Your job is great until you lose it. Your roommates are awesome until they steal half your **** and move to another state, leaving two months of unpaid rent. There are so many things that can happen during the years and years that you will be making payment after payment to both your insurance company, the bank, AND the gas stations that it will eat you alive unless you can afford it.
Buy a slightly used Civic SI. It's plenty enough car for you.
Better yet, get a last-generation Accord with 100k+ on the odo. on the cheap, and keep saving your money. I did hear correctly that you are putting your entire life savings into just the down payment?
You will regret that decision. It's not a hypothesis, it's a guarantee.

And you really shouldn't get pissed off because some members are offering you good advice before making a bad decision.
And +1 on getting a used car.

Thats a good idea. Lets me choose better, becuz one car can cost me like $400 a month just to insure. Thx.

Man, you should never have mentioned how old you are. If you had just said I'm thinking about buying one of the following cars and have some money to put down, most of the posts would be about the cars instead of your age.

Driving is a necessity to make a living for most people, myself included.

Yes, true that, Insurance and young age dont go along too well... Ive had my share. LOL... I was guilty of that "SAVE MONEY, FINANCIAL SHlT" advice, glad to know ur doin well in life, more power to you on that... A wrx would be fine for you then, it fits 4 people which is very useful when ur in highschool, has enough power, even more than you need, and mods are affordable. Good Luck on ur Car purchase. If money is not an option, get the car u truly like, you'll be driving it for quiet awhile so make the most out of it.
