Ok, I'll be turning 16 in March. I know it's a while away, but I already have my permit and I'm planning on getting a hardship. So, I've been kindof thinking about getting a car lately. The thing is, I hardly know anything about cars haha. I know it'll most likely be a used car because 1) It won't be as much of a big deal if I get a dink in it as it would be if it was brand new and 2) I want to help pay for it, but I don't want it to be extremely expensive, for the sake of myself and my parents. So, my question is, what kind of car would you suggest? I'm mostly interested in it's safety features, but I don't want it to be like a minivan or something that's too big for what I'll be using it for. I was thinking about a VMW Beetle, just because I've always loved their unique bodies, but I haven't checked the safety features on it yet. I really don't care about anything like heated seats or sunroofs or whatever. So yeah, suggestions please? Thanks SO much :) (link)

A used safe car is a great idea. Beetles are like the bugs, easy to crush if you know what I mean.
I have a used 02 honda accord and its pretty nice, and very easy to drive. My dad owns three car shops and wanted me to get a honda because of their durability, they last forever. Toyotas are their competitor and are around the same quality. If your going for an older used model, make sure it has ABS breaking system and air bags. I'd chose a mid sized sedan. If you get one thats a clunker and a lot of metal, the safer you'll be.
Gas mileage is important too!
Go to a lot and be ready to ask questions. Don't buy on the spot. Do your research before buying and you'll be fine.
Good luck,
Abby
