If you were 16 again and got to choose your first car, what car would you choose?

Probably a prelude, entry level, looks good and pretty cheap.

Twingo

Or this (checked)

the same car im driving right now, just so i feel at home

I'm a bong, ergo I couldn't have bought anything but a cuckbox until I hit 25 because of insurance.

Unironically an old Civic though.

just get snow tires

A 2017 Honda Civic Type-R with a mechanical hand break instead of that electronic bullshit.

Probably a Ford Sierra Cosworth, they sell for fortunes now, still fast as well.

...

what if I didn't get my first car until I was 26

>If you were 16 again
i wouldnt have my license. so none except my bicycle then

>what if I didn't get my first car until I was 26
How old are you now?

any wagon

Literally anything JDM. I didn't get into cars until I bought my first one (like most kids) and I sure as hell did not know how to work on Audi's back then either.

26

>tfw parents were retards with money and I couldnt even get a license until 19
>tfw I didnt even get to choose my shitbox and it was from my mom ripping off her ex and getting it for free because the guy is a cuck
I would want an MR2 for a first car though. Its my dream car.

>Its my dream car.
>dreams about snap-oversteering into a tree

Yup. Daily.

Good taste user.

This

you stupid faggot rwd seriously isnt that bad in the winter it's about grip and throttle control

fuck you

The same car I had when I was 16, a 1998 Lexus ES300

>stupid cheap to run
>very comfy with top tier leather seats
>super rare adaptive dampers option that could be controlled with a switch in the car
>Nakamichi audio system with a disk changer for amazing sounding music

God I miss that thing

But the new miatas don't have flippy lights. Cars without flippy lights are trash.

Easy, it would have been a 88-90 LSC

a corolla

Floppy lights are trash

The car I had.

1986 Volvo 760 turbo, white with red interior.
My dad and I would tinker with it on weekends.
We managed to make it quicker.

1992 Toyota Supra Turbo in Teal

I know because I tried buying one when I was 16.

a manual civic instead of an autotragic ;_;
other that that i wouldnt change a fuckin thing

if you must have an mr2, zzw30. don't be fooled by the sw20. it's worse in every way.

Mazda3 or base civic.

Tfw is300 as first car

The Miata that my stepmom had but sold before I was 16. The Accord I got was nice, though.

brz or s2k

Jesus H Fuck, they don't even have real handbrakes anymore?

When I was 16 I wanted a huge lifted faggot truck but my dad laughed at me and gave me a manual Civic with 250,000 miles on it. I can't thank him enough.

If I could do it again I'd probably go for something RWD though, I didn't get a RWD car until I was 23.

Probably a spec'd Miata. But if money was no object I would have gotten an R32. They would have been old enough back then to be okay for a16 year old

Don't fuck it up, rich kid.

Evil post is evil. My car when I was 16 was a 95 civic hatch cx

Maybe the same that i choose when i was 16, Porsche Cayman S 987

I'm 16 now and wish I had one of these

mooooods

old lexus is best lexus

I don't know how this situation fits in, but here goes
>NE coast USA
>in 10th grade, always loved cars
>just moved from another state where I'd lived my whole life
>driving with mom to Aunt's house across town
>suddenly car catches my eye, parked in front of some house on the lawn
>I autistically yell out name of the car
>mom turns around and we pull into driveway
>never seen one before, only in pics and mags
>absolutely perfect
>owner comes out, old guy, stoked a young guy knew what it was
>put the top down, started it up, I sat in it, purred beautifully
>mom asks what the price is
>he said never been for sale
>then says he'd want $8.5k if it came to it
>I'm just excited
>she says "well maybe if you'd want to work on it and make it your first car I can talk to dad about it

Parents madd a bunch of money on the house we moved from, so that wasnt the issue. She talked to him, he said no fuckin way. British, low production, convertible, rare as fuck, V8, nope. Probably good he did.

But thats how a shitty American kid in MA almost got a BRG 1985 Marcos Mantula Spyder. Pic related but not exact

(Honning Stops)

The Mantula was the pinnacle of Marcos' design, before it got spoiled with the Mantara and the horrible Mantis

Monica.

Felt the same way, I know looks are subjective but preferred the Tula shape as well. More muscular perhaps. Like what Corvette always should have been

Tacoma or ‘19 Ranger

When I was looking for my first car, I stumbled upon this model, with this very same color.
>it was a 2.0L petrol with LPG installed
>it had 250k km something
>it was an 1988 model
>it was pretty equipped.

Sometimes I regret not purchasing this luxobarge. But sometimes I also realise that a car this big is just too ridiculous for the crowded European cities, especially university centers.
I was right. If I had to live with such a luxobarge, I wouldn't have had anywhere to park it.

88mm turbo only

the same car I have now

>16
>first car

What if you have to carry more than an envelope

mods come on

>choose your first car,

Ill take a nice Ferrari so I can sell it for $40 million and never worry about anything ever again

then Id buy a cheap house with a garage and a Trabant P60 Kombi

KA9 Acura RL or anything that can be made into ViP. Performance cars just aren't worth it in NY.
