New car...hopefully!

Well, as you know, I turned 16 a little while back, and have been driving a 200$ P.o.C. for the past few months, and now, with the help of my parents...its time to move up! wo0t wo0t!

so, I wanted your opinion on which I should look into! Also, take into consideration the insurance rates as well!

Cheap four banger with low miles. Until you (and I for that matter) turn 23-25, insurance is rape.

slickcam · 19-September-05, 05:20 PM

yeh, the insurance is rapeage..and the gas...but I think that all the cars I have up in the poll have decent mileage...supra is a straight 6 gti is 4 banger and the rotary is, well a rotary...

Spectrum · 19-September-05, 05:22 PM

A Supra will get you in trouble man, plus any Supra that would reasonable priced would have high miles and been driven hard. Rotary motors require constant maintenance and probably aren't the best for a first car. I'd go with the GTI myself, but it's your call.

slickcam · 19-September-05, 05:26 PM

hehe, yeh the supra would be fast...but then...the GTI that im looking at has the turbo, racing seats, suspension kit...that could get me in trouble too...

and as for the maintenence, my father used to work on rotarys, so that woudn't be an issue...

LMAO............all those cars you picked..............the first time it needs something, it's going to cost you big bucks in parts and service.

hondatuner · 19-September-05, 06:45 PM

i was kinda stuck between the otia and the VW. But when you mentioned insurence the VW has it all the way, plus you have a back seat.

slickcam · 19-September-05, 07:39 PM

Also, because my dad's backgroung in the automotive world, we could get parts wholesale...

hondatuner: whos honda is that in your avvy?

I have a 2004 chevy aveo ls with pretty much only rims, but I am only at the start tuning it, more will come this summer....its a safe reliable car, good priced, I drive it to campus and back every weekend, over 300 miles round trip, and it holds up awesome. But it looks like your into fast cars, which can be fun, but like everyone said, insurance sucks..plus gas is getting insane, most of those cars you need at least medium if not supreme...but just a thought.

IronSerif · 19-September-05, 07:53 PM

My vote goes for the VW man. I have a jetta myself and I love it so the GTI should serve you good.

But just watch the insurance...the prices never play nice when you're young

slickcam · 19-September-05, 08:58 PM

yeh...as for the GTI...i'm also leaning towards that heavily...My dad, the one who found it, is going to check it out tommorow...so if he gives it the ok...then I'm going to be getting that...hopefully

The main reason why i woudn't be getting it is because of size. My Mom is worried about its size and she wants something bigger and safer i.e. supra or rx-7
