generally, anything toyota is a safe bet, they run well and don't fall apart, and all that. the new scion things seem to be getting pretty popular, and they run amazingly well.
~*Annie*~ answered Friday December 10 2004, 7:53 pm: 2004 model Camry LE, Mercedez Benz (really expensive), BMW, Volkswagon Beetle, Pontiac, and a lot of Honda models are good too! Just pick one, and as long as you're comfortable with it (and the interior has a good 'new car' smell, haha) then that's the perfect car for you! Good luck :) [ ~*Annie*~'s advice column | Ask ~*Annie*~ A Question ]

chaos answered Friday December 10 2004, 9:35 am: Lucky you. I had a Trans Am. My parents were out of their mind. The last thing you want is people who like you because of your car.
I am currently in a '94 Jeep Cherokee, and I have put it together (geez it had like 180,000 miles on it before the new engine). It is not the safest thing in the world, but I like the power and you can put stuff in it.
If your parents could get you a good used Volvo, that would be great because of all the safety features. Hondas can be really cool, and they get good gas mileage. I had one in college. I miss it. Chances are you are probably going to scratch it up, so a solid used car is probably your best bet.
Think about some of the things you would like to do in your car and find the one to match it. Don't necessarily turn up your nose at a manual shift because it is actually kind of fun. It takes a little learning, but it helped me get my friends safely back from a party when I knew how to drive it.
DON'T EVER LEND YOUR CAR TO YOUR BOYFRIEND. I don't care how much he begs. You will be paying for it for at least 3 years after he wrecks it in astronomical insurance premiums. This applys also to your best friend.
Learn how to change a tire before you go out in one. Ok. So you didn't ask all of this, but this is experience talking her. Best wishes. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

Karen answered Friday December 10 2004, 7:19 am: Some good cars are an Eclipse, Honda Civic, Acura, Nissan Altima or Maxima, and so many others! It all depends in what kind of cars you like! Just look in a car magazine and choose a kind of car you like! Hope I helped :)
