ah forgot about that... when i was 16 gas was somewhere around a buck haha

so in that case a 240 wouldn't be a bad start if you're looking for rwd

I would try to find something with airbags and something bigger than a crx also. Inexperienced drivers = accidents. Maybe a 95 four door civic so you can tote all your friends with no cars around.

I dont understand whats wrong with the price range I put up there, because ive seen planty of cars at $3k and up..Mabey not $1000 but it's a starting price. Most pple who are 16 do not have Full-Time jobs and have rich parents so whats the big deal?

Get a Honda. You know you have your mind made up already that you're getting one.

How much was gas though? I remember when I was 16, gas was still under $2. Well under $2 IIRC.
