Hey fags (A fag is a cigar, usually a Havana Cuban cigar)
I've been wondering what the perfect first car would be, not for me, but for anyone. Pick one and post some reasons why.
Mine:
Golf 4
-Not very expensive
-Has a lot of tuning potential
-Good eco-s**t, they don't use as much fuel as jred's camaro
Now your turn, PCA!
Ford Sierra
-Cheap insurance for a 2.0 car
-Cosworth replica possibilities :3
-Great for Drifting
-loads of parts available
-cheap to maintain.
-can achieve 30+ MPG
I'm thinkin aboot one
nissan silvia 240sx kouki
- s13 version
- rwd
- very cool
- cheap (like 3,000dlls)
- parts avaliable everywhere
Little Tykes Cozy Coupe
Honda Civic or Accord
Pros:
Later 80s to mid 90s models can be found very easily and cheap.
Reliable. As long as you keep the usual maintenance up, it won't break down.
Easy and affordable to maintain.
Great on gas. (Even with the mods on mine I get 26-28mpg city and 38 mpg highway)
Easy to find oem spec replacement parts for reasonable prices.
Abundance of aftermarket parts and tuning potential.
Lots of engine swap possibilities.
Huge fan following and expert experience to go to for help.
Simple construction makes it easy to work on without hassle.
available in many different models (Civic: hatch, coupe, sedan. Accord: Wagon, Coupe, Sedan)
Cons:
People will almost guaranteed call you a ricer no matter what you have or haven't done to it.
Mazda RX7 Savanna (FC3S)
Pros:
Dat Brap
Rotary Powered
Sports Coupe
Major Chick points cause your car wins
Most people favor the FD, leaving FCs cheap to purchase
Cons:
Rotary Engines are a bitch to fix, when broken, in comparison to piston engines
Civic EF
-Cheap(I can get a rolling shell for $400 )
-Great on gas, even with a newbie build
-as jred said parts are easy to find and replace.
Golph 3 1.6
pretty cheap
cheap parts
not too strong for first car
still good going
lots of tooning parts
Škoda Felicia 1.6 1996 ---> 1999
pretty much the same as golf
It also has ABS, ESP, ETC.
well it is mostly for europian guys
Yugo!
-Very cheap 100$-1000$
-Average speed
-Great for town cruising
-That is it
Average speed? more like none the RHD conversions were so dangerous
If we are talking about the perfect first car for anyone then I would have to say
Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.
-Affordable
-Low fuel consumption
-Reliable if taken care of
R31 skyline
na lol
2003 Honda Accord Euro.
Sister has one, great car... interior is a bitch to clean because its black and it shows everything, other then that i cant really fault this car.
Mitsubishi 380 GT. Underrated severely.
2010 Ford Festiva.
Small and very economical... Cant be seen in on unless you have a vagina... or are a giant punce.
Mazda 3... the turbo one
Its turbo... nuff said
R34 GTR
nuff said
oil pump may fail... but this is actually a very easy problem to fix
Series 8 RX7
find a good example.. nuff said
downside is that rotary's are unreliable
KE70 corolla.
Find one with the larger engine, get new shocks and bushes. have a ball!
... has no aircon.. east fix tho
Various other cars that arent new toyotas...
civic or corolla for the reliablity.
some memebers already said why they are good.
or a small truck like the ford ranger or etc.
lol ford ranger. howaboutno.jpg
i want a euro accord they looks nicer than the ones we got here imo
1974-1984 Volkswagen Rabbit/Golf
Pro's:
~ Vary reliable and safe (like most cars if taking care of will be your best friend)
~ Great on fuel if anything go with a diesel yeah they stink but the flue savings are crazy but im not saying not to go with a petrol ether the pretty good on fuel only when stock
~ There is many little tricks though out the model lines (for exampled you can swap parts with a newer VW/Audi) like motors and suspension parts also some exterior bits plus interior stuff
~ Many after-market parts are available and in most cases are bolt ons and easy to install
~ Insurance is resalable ( As in most case's it depend on you age and driving history)
~ Very spacious and comfortable
~ Easy to park and maneuver
Con's
~ Sunroof can tend to leak and cause the A pillars to rot out
~ The trim can cause some of the body to rot (like rain tray and fender flares)
~ Not common as they use to be(so parts can be hard to find)
~ No power steering so it can feel heavy in some case's
~ Some interior bits tend to brake over the years
Insurance for a golf mk1 here is rediculous because they were stolen alot when they were new, it means they're all gonna be stolen now :S
Very cool,
vw buggy
+
it looks cool
they are old cars
it has round headlights
i can give it some pretty cool modifications
-
it uses gasoline
they cost $$$$$$$$$$
i don't have a drivers license
also, yeah , a yugo would be pretty cool
HONDA CITY TURBO
nuff said
R32 GTR
- Cheap sports car
- They are f**king sick
- All those d**ks in their small ricers will be like Wanna race?
- You win
- It is fast
- $20K
- I like it
Cons
- Insurance
- Defection
- RWC
- Fuel
- Crashing
Naah, Corolla is a great first car. Or a Golf. Or a Magna, or a Lancer (Mirage in the US) Or a Civic, those can become beasts, or a Starlet GT, I have seen one so fast it be like: WOAH! and also a very sexy one.
Fully agree with Jared, he knows what he is talking about
I have another one:
Mazda MX-5/Miata NA (1989-1998)
Pros
-Great value.
-Maintenance is cheap.
-Insurance and taxes are cheap.
-Can't catch up with a Skyline, RX7, Silvia or whatever.
-If you have a hardtop version, you will not be called a girl or a homo.
-Great on fuel.
Cons
-They tend to rust.
-If you get a soft top, you'll be called a girl or a homo.
-The interiors are pretty s**t in most cases.
Can't think of more arguments
good first car: small engine, mostly hatchback, and pretty basic.
Honda civic EG 1.6, Opel Corsa 1.4 8V/16V or 1.6 8V/16V, VW Golf 3 or 4/Polo/Lupo, Ford Escort of 1999, Ford fiesta.
also something that is cheap, like 2000 euro MAX.
and never buy at a dealer.
......
wow, sounds nothing like my first car i bought.
Opel Astra G 1.8 16V with almost every option, 5000+, very good shape, and insurance f**ks me good....
oh, and bought by a garage.
20,000 dlls is a f**king lot
lol
I've had a bunch of odd cars, so my views of perfect first car are probably pretty bad
Ferrari F40
zonda f
Good state R32 is 5k here
Suck it faggots
FML
brining a r32 will cost like 40K
They're not legal here
driving here is left-hand
but some guys want to create a company with legal remaking of cras from right hand to left hand here
If you guys seriously get a GT-R for 5K...
ok, 13k

Skylines are cheap as chips here, you can get an R32 GTS-T for about 2.5k
No one wants em anymore, road tax is ridiculous, insurance is ridiculous, everything's ridiculous...
Honda City Turbo
1982-1986
Same story as with the vw, finding the parts and being able to maintain a 24-28 year old car as a first car isn't something for most new drivers.
golf mk2-3-4
vento/jetta
-cheap (insurance to)
-if you need parts you'll find m fast
-almost all garages know VW so they can fix it
-if you don't have to cash to get it fixed by a garage you can do it, VW is easy (click 'n' play)
-the engines are awesome and if you take good care they will last forever
-ok ok, they have rust, buts its not that its hard to fix if you have the know how
-brand new parts are always available, just find the dealers
-there are nuf golfs, so if you need something you can steal it probably in a radius of 0.5km around your driveway
this was the car iwas planning on buying :drool:
Why don't you just steal one?
62-73 Beetle or Golf 3-4 <1.6
Nowadays, it's pretty normal to drive a 1.8 as a first car, just a tip to them buyerzz
Beetle's dont go up to that
i know, but golfs do
Also Beetles are cool, but it's a bitch to find one in a good state here I'd love to own one
Its not hard to find them in a good state here, but the price goes up
here the price goes up after you bought one, with all the work you have to do.
or you have to buy it of a lover, but then you need to reach deap in the pockets.
golfs go up to 2.8 Daniel
also depends on what kind of fuel, diesel or petrol
for 5k you can get one in Germany
But its the insurance
I'm thinking of getting a VR6 and making it a trailerslut for meetings only
Golf Mk2 vr6 you kud get it for 50 euro here in Sweden (in bad nik do'h)
my first car well be
Volvo 740
Good start car easy to find parts(just go into the woods so you can find one or the junkyard) for easy mechanism for self-judgment and cheap both to own and run
(Works perfekt in the winter too Especially in Sweden)
or
Bmw E30 (318i, 320i)
A good start car too
or I take my brodres Peg 205 Gti (1.9 F-yeah)
You're better off with the volvo Won't let you down
the good thing about vw buggies is they are rear engined
5l vn ss
yeah, if your a bogan
my dad has a VS, he is no bogam
i am a bogon
keep the skids to legal events or you are a bogan gayboy. and HK, you aren't
yeah, but who other then a bogan actually buys a VN?
A commonwhore
Edit:
something that is cool and yellow
Alex if you can afford that as a first car...
woops i thought this was the pefect car thread... meh whatever. im sure theres some rich bastard that can
what was it?
VE commo
VZ or VY have the looks.
Or this, sorry about 10mp picture
http://img823.imageshack.us/i/img2811x.jpg/
I'm with the MX-5.
Best stock handling car, and thats very inportant when youre a new driver...aslo it comes cheap...has decent power and looks good...its pretty tuneable...gets my vote for that
Honda City
IT HAS VTEC
^^^Here in brazil this car is like 65k. isnt real good for first car
honda city. the one that I said is way better than that one
LX MT U$S20.100
EXL MT U$S 23.900
EXL AT U$S 25.500.
OH MY s**t 40K DOLLARS
I CAN GET SOME f**kING HOT SUPERCAR FOR 40K DOLLARS
f**king s**t honda city here in mex is in 18,000 dlls
LOL honda is trolling u guys
IS that much?
R$2 = 1 dollar,more or less
ohhh. still expensive
We get that accord for: 24,900.00 BRL = 15,014.18 AUD
I found a bagged accord for less. much less
SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST
Revive this for discussions
still the best first car
get teh f**k out of my face with tha s**t, /o/ sucks
moot was on /o/ today
1994-2000 Subaru Impreza 1.6
pros:
cheap to buy (around 1600 euro's)
2.0 liter body parts will fit easely(which means engine swaps will work with ease too.)
endless design
lots of aftermarket parts
drives quite well
cons:
high fuel usage
not very impressive top speed
>impreza
>cheap
also moot is a jew
Polo mk2f
Do you have hp rules guys.Here we cant drive cars who have more than 100 hp or 74 kw That rule goes to 24 and when you are 24 you can drive xxx hp cars
wtf lol that sucks
Thats because many daddy sons drive bmws porsches and ferraris and they are cool kids
Yes I can have that car but what if cops stop me?They will say ''Sorry but you drive too strong car'' and I will pay for that.And whats more stupid is that you can drive swift who have small hp and small weight so its fast pocket rocket and you cant drive passat who have 100+ but weights like a whale lol .
Faran, in the US and Canada, there aren't many that fit that class. BBut I still think that's a stupid restriction. People are going to be driving these little 70hp econoboxes around and then you'll have those guys that turn 24 and go straight to 400hp. They aren't going to know how to handle it and people will get hurt.
anyways, I still stand by my statement that civics are a great first car. 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th generations probably being the most available and easiest to maintain. The more stock the better when it's your first car. You can literally learn how to fix just about anything with a civic because they are super user friendly cars especially when it comes to repairs and maintenance.
To be fair 100bhp can be rapid in the right car, my old arosa was f*cking quick, and that was dyno'd at 75, even though it should've been 100.
buggati
cheep as fuk
has new biogeneric turbo engine which makes it go bwaa with no petrol so cheap as
vtec
yeah, birdman got one as first car
you know, power isnt everything. if you have 200hp, but your cars weight is 2 tonnes, it wont go very fast, but if your cars weight is 900 kilo's, it will go quick as f***
Quite.
On topic, good first cars imo:
Lupo/Arosa
MK4 Fiesta (mk3's are going back up in price now)
Renault Clio (4 of my friends had one at some point, must be doing something right!)
Pug 106
Fiat Panda (Look s**te, handle s**te, but good runners and cheap to insure)
And as a friend of mine has rightfully proven
1973 MGB GT
So basically, for a first car, nothing japanese (insurance) and nothing with more than a 1.4
But yeah curtis I was looking into an MGB too, but they've really shot up in price in the last few years.
My mate bought his for £1.8km good runner, body work could do with some attention but the shell is solid
I'd get a Ford Focus as my first car. They're not very expensive, they're practical and somewhat fuel-efficient.
VW is a good option, my first car is an '07 VW Jetta GLI, and insurance is only like 120 a month. Most people would probably have to go with MK4 or 3, because my car payment is 300 a month, and most people are still in school when they get their first car. I have a full time job so I have no trouble with the payments of it.
It's also really good on gas, reliable, decently quick if you get a GLI or GTI, good brakes and handling, and mine handles snow easily, no problem at all.
>VW,
>Reliable
I lold
You just have to take care of it. I realize that not everyone knows how to take care of a car like this, people trying to put the cheapest gas in, on-synthetic oil, all that bulls**t. But for someone who's not a complete idiot it'll be perfectly fine.
not that it is the perfect first car, but it was for me...
1990 Ford Thunderbird
3.8L v6
30k miles
light crystal blue color
no rust
fresh clear
2 owner car
but the perfect new first car would be a 2013 dodge dart:
ugly af
no power
discrace to the dart heritage
ew
that is my opinion though
VWs doesn't need to be cheaper, or realiable. They kick asses errday allday
The 91 came with a v8 in the lx model I think it was....one of the models had a v8
i wasnt evn jokn danyel
sily
Get yer hands on 'murican truck
ford ranger
80s tacoma
mazba b2000
TRUCK YEAH
just trolling.
I didn't even finish that.
'murican trucks:
Ford Ranger
Dodge Dakota
Chevy S10
Small truks general:
Mazda B2000
Toyota Tacoma
Nissan Hardbody
Pretty sure even in Urop you can find an equivalent of a cheap light RWD pick up.
My first is/was an '01 Wrangler.
Selling it this year, trying desperately to replace with a S13 hatch <3
Anyway the Jeep wasn't bad. Its cheap, RWD, iconic, tough as nails, handles all weather and terrain like a boss, and chicks dig it in the summer with no doors or roof.
My was the 4.0L I6 too so it had a little punch all things considered (like the fact that it is a steel box).
Downsides are it rusts like nothing else, and feels like it is going to disintegrate at highway speeds.
