I'd try to get an old or new VW bug.

a lot of people are saying BMW. from a mechanic's perspective i'll say this much. they're nice cars, but cost a ton to fix, and spend a lot of time in the garage being fixed. combine that with the large pricetag at first and you'll see why people call them BM Trouble You. they're nice cars, very classy. but they're maintenence hogs through and through. now with every rule there's an exception and the exception is the 7 series of the BMW line, they seem to be the least problematic of all the ones i've seen.
another person suggested honda, i don't mind honda, they don't take a lot of maintenence and they don't cost a lot but they feel small, cheap, and overall don't offer the performance, power, or handling i'd want out of a car. and i only suggest them to someone who cares more about economy than about how they look or feel behind the wheel. honda's in my opinion are cars for people who are cheap, and aren't afraid to admit it. and are scared to cross their boundaries and get something more fun, more powerful, and more exhilirating.
someone suggested land rover. not a bad choice, but not a good one either. being a british car means you'll need btitish parts. and those cost an expensive british price. also the rover isn't the best at fuel economy and is also not for someone who is going to drive to school and home and maybe out on the weekends. it's not a daily driver car, it's an offroader, and it's what the car is designed for. they test them in the sahara desert for that reason. also the MG rover company recently had a massive breakdown and land rover is still around but not exactly in the besr shape quality wise. thus the reason they just launched the range rover supercharged in the hopes at getting back some of their market. the rover is not a car i'd suggest unless you live on a mountain.
the car i think you would enjoy most. one that offers good performance, low cost maintenence, an initial low cost, and decent fuel economy. rhe audi A4 i.8T quattro. the all wheel drive system allows the car to have an amazing grip on the road. while the 240 horsepower 1.8 liter turbo charged four cylinder engine provides good gas mileage and a nice amount of power. plus the A4 was noted as Car and Driver's best car of 2004 and is the car that audi has used to win the famous le mans 24 hour race the past 5 years. the initial cost being between 15-30,000 dollars while the repair costs are cheap as audi and volkswagen are the same company and parts are common. and all in all a great car for a great price. i've personally seen the audi in action and would put my word as a guy who's worked on cars his whole life on em that they're quality machines. and definately worth every penny.
another car i suggest is the volvo S40 yes it's front wheel drive and i hate front wheel drive vehicles. it's a volvo and they last forever, also it's a nice, roomy, 4 door sedan with lots of luxury features and a nice power range. i wouldn't personally want the car, but that's my preference. but i would reccomend one to someone who is looking to buy.
and finally the last car i suggest is the cadillac CTS. a rear wheel drive, 250 horsepower V6 engine that gets a lot of speed but at the same time you wont notice a thing inside the nice plush cockpit with the 15 speaker sound system and the GPS navigation telling you where you're headed. it is a cadillac, and it is a fine fine car for anyone to own. it's got a rough hard edge look and the same swooping fenders and sweet stylings cadillac is known for. but it is not an old person's car, not at all. it is a pleasure to drive, and to see. it is a wonderful ride and i'd love to own one. i wholeheartedly suggest the cadillac and with GM's red tag pricing event you wont have to pay a penny more than the sticker price for an american car with a beautiful engine that is rated as one of the most reliable engines in production by JD power. i love the CTS and i think it's a great car
so there you have it a perspective view on the opinions and the facts of what you could and should be looking at. i'd like to know what you go for in the end. and if you have any more questions just ask me. i've been under the hood of a car since i was 5, i'm going for my master automotive technician certificatian and i can give you a nice view at whatever cars you may be looking at. the good and the bad

but whatever i mean. real nice for your mom to buy you any car you want, right?
And wait you want to get a nice car now and when you graduate get another new one what the crap dude. you really should think about what your saying but ok ... im done
And yea i like civics but yea never had a car never drove one. And i'm 17 and have never had a car

My mom drives a Honda Civic and I think it's a really great car. It gets good gas mileage, it's really easy to drive, it's small, and I don't think it costs that much money. Good luck!

I am a 16 year old girl too! I have a 2006 Honda CRV and I LOVE it! It's a small SUV, so it is higher off the ground, but it's not to big to back up & you don't feel like your driving a truck! I love the Honda CRV and it has gotten really good reviews with safety & reliability too! I hope I helped!

must be nice to have a mom getting you a car, I mean, some people dont have the $$ to do so and are forced to "walk"(when your feet move in opposite directions while standing to create movement), or ride bicycles...Hell, some of us dont even have mom's! Heres your "brilliant" answer, and I apologize if I seem sacastic (Im really just bitter)---dont get one at all, until you can pay for it yourself. This way you wont "wreck" it, and it'll be earned through your own hard work, as opposed to a car that is hardly earned!! Walla! I amaze my own sence of wisdom!
