    As a newer car enthusiast 4yrs after the original posting, I do agree with the Mustang and Camaro inclusions, HOWEVER, the V6 versions. I have an older Mustang V6 that ive done some mods on, and i couldnt be happier knowing i have both a sporty car and something that doesnt break the bank when my throw-out bearing gives out or I need some maintenance. I defininitely get some (shiz) when i mention its a V6, but at the end of the day, i have a neat car that still has nice features like the manual transmission and a large modding community.

    I got a 2014 Ford Fiesta as my first car. I'm a car guy and I especially like American muscle. A 1970 Dodge Challenger TA is my dream car. I'm a young guy with not very much money so I needed to get something that works, is good on fuel and is practical. I looked around and found the 14 Fiesta for 7k (I put a 2k down payment on it). A Fiesta isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think reliable but hey, it's got 80k miles, tires are good, oil is good, i checked everything, no problems at all. Of course I'm not gonna have it forever but it works, and that's what I need right now. My dream car can come later when I have the money for it. So yea, all I gotta say is, get something that works as a first car. You'll get a cooler car later, with time and experience.

    I bought my mazda 3 on the basis of "reliability first, sport second" and i couldnt regret it one bit. Ive never had it refuse to start on me in coldass Canadian winters, and with its 2.0L 4 Cylinder 6-speed its sportier than it looks.
    As the mantra goes; its more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.
    I have plans for her; such as a turbokit, cold air intate, tune, and select body mods, but even her still being stock.. her power sneaks up on me. Simply rowing thru the gears and by the time i reach my typical cruising gear of 4th, im exceeding the speed limit by 40KM.
    Thats not even factoring the amount of pure blooded TORTURE i put it through, (burnouts, clutch dumps, launches, And a lot of hard acceleration) it has held up beautifully. Mazda has won me over in build quality on the 3rd gen mazda 3 as any other grocery getter being put through the same level of stress, wouldve had something substantial break by now.
    I can highly reccomend it as a first car in general, wether you are an enthusiast or not. Itll get you where you need to go, and if you wanna have some fun, it will provide that too.

  • @AndorRadnai
    @AndorRadnai 8 місяців тому

    My first gen V70 for example is a brilliant starter car.
    It is reliable and frugal enough for young enthusiasts to not go bankrupt immediately, and there is a big aftermarket for replacement parts. (Tuning a bit less so, but you have options)
    But most importantly, it is challenging enough to drive so you will learn how to shift smoothly and judge its size. You will have no choice, because the steering and pedals are about as refined as a truck and the rest of it is not much smaller than one.
    But, it is also a forgiving and calm car. They are stable, conservative and surprisingly fun to drive once you get the hang of it.
    Ok, fine, I’ll mention it… they are safe. Their handling is already safe, but if you ever manage to overdo it, you will most likely be able to reel it back in. And if not… well… it’s a Volvo, you’ll be fine.

    My recommendation is to get something older with great parts availability and simple construction. You will be able to learn more doing it yourself, avoid breaking the bank.
    My heavily biased rural American opinion is to get a beat up old farm rig. Thirty year old half tons are a dime a dozen, extremely cheap (had a buddy pick up a running driving 5.0 F150 for$200), unbelievably reliable, and have a surprisingly solid aftermarket support system.

      True story...
      Raced a 3.9 V6 Monte Carlo vs an older 3.8 s/c Monte.
      Gapped em by a door, both autos, from a dig.
      Later on that same night, rolled raced a Probe GT 5speed.
      It gapped me by a little more than a car. Rolled 3 other times and even a dig at a stop light.
      I even tried to tree it or run a little sooner to try and get an edge. Never got close to that Mazda V-6.
      Popped the hood and just saw a S.R.I. didn't even tune it . eventhough my Monte was stock I was taking out a lot of Hondas, Mustangs, Miatas, and Eclipses.
      If I ever get a chance to buy a cheap one with low miles, I'll sell my car and daily that instead.

    Slightly late to the comment party. But I bought a 67 Firebird as my first car, and Bladed is completely right. I jumped in over my head, as my immediate family is not a long line of mechanics and drag racers from days of old. I have family members that were into cars when they were my age, but again not mechanics. So I jumped right in and got a classic, and immediately found myself in trouble when the engine spun a bearing 3 months after buying it. The best advice I can provide is to be prepared for the unexpected, and have a back up plan unlike I did. Luckily I was able to borrow a car to get through the months it took me to save up and get a new engine (built Pontiac 400), and I learned a whole lot on the way, but if I were to do it again I'd have definitely handled certain things differently. I love my car, and I wouldn't call it my nightmare car, but it was definitely close.

I plan to be a mechanic, so maintenance shouldn't be a big issue.

    All that for a car that's going for less than a quarter of a new Renault Kwid here in South Africa.

    My first vehicle was a 1998 Chevy c1500, It had a 350 and 230k miles when I got it and it was rust free, I got it for $500 after saving up from mowing lawns and I loved it. Unfortunately it blew up after a little under a year, because I couldn’t afford to fix the cracked radiator after a metal rod fell off the back of a scrapper truck and smacked it, it eventually overheated because the temp gauge didn’t work and I forgot to add coolant that morning. It had 232k miles when it blew up and I was actually on the 30 minute drive from my moms house to my dads house/farm where the new radiator I saved up for got delivered when it blew up, i was heartbroken at the time but it was a blessing in disguise because it motivated me to get an actual decent paying job at a factory, and is probably the only I have my 08 mustang and clean manual 95 f150. Also I still have the chevy have the truck Chevy and have swapped in a 4BT Cummins and in NV 4500 manual trans and 4x4 converted it.

      @@xscalibur actually wasn't that bad, I think if I remember correctly it was around $102 - $120 a month?

    I bought an Altima instead of a 350Z only for space, I don’t care about what people say, and I know how to have fun in a FWD.

    Just got my first car. a 4th Generation Nissan Sentra 1.6L Automatic. There was crash damage to the front passenger side door and fender so i got it for a steal. Had a guy reweld it, remove any rust we found and spray it a nice slightly sparkly silver(not sure bout the proper name). Dad insisted and got the rear fin and side skirts for it and got me some glossy rims to compliment the silver, may change it at some point but digging it rn. Though I have some issues to tackle before its 100%. The car pulls left, even though the wheels are aligned so i think there may be control arm or other steering connected item issue. The car idles in neutral at 1800RPM which is bad for gas mileage, and the passenger side doors were refitted incorrectly destroying the fron tpassenger inner panel and also making the back door scrape the front when it opens. Slowly but surely getting the service parts ready for a full service and tune and then getting the suspension and steering and contorl checked. hopefully by the end of the eyar its 100% and I can finally start looking at what I wann do to the car.

    Welp I bought an 87 escort as my first car. The thing is I’m trying to learn mechanics, and flip it. Oh well

      IsDatTomatoJuice only the gtt? Cultured, but I’d imagine I’d have quirks being an old car but other than that I think it would be a pretty good starter

    On top of the points you put out which are great. The term stupid simple is one I’d like to add. think of a first car you’re learning to work on that you can fix with simple tools! on the side of the road if necessary. my first car was a 99 ford ranger with a 5 speed trans 2wd. Can’t get much simpler than that and it taught me abt all the basics to work on any car. saved me a ton of money in the long run and now im able to afford another car and a motorcycle. still daily the ranger tho! Cant beat stupid simple
