Q: 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 :)
its not my first car, but the car I have currently is a Dodge Caliber.

its really cute and sporty, its a 4 cylinder so its great on gas, but its a hatchback so its got alot of space like an suv. Ive taken it on camping trips, to the beach, lots of fun in this car! the inside is really nice and dodge has a good warranty. Used ones are very resonably priced AND it gets 5 star crash test ratings so its very safe!

heres a pic of my car! i love it!
