ok, i'm turning 16 soon, and my parents said that i could get whatever car i wanted as long as it was under $40,000 and met the following criteria: it had to be Japanese/European(they don't like American cars), it had to be reliable, and it had to be safe. i was wondering if i could get some suggestions on what to ask for

get a nissan 300z with the twin turbo. youll fly down the road in style. plus its not an unsafe car by any means.

You can't go wrong with a Volvo or a Saab- they are excellent cars with excellent safety ratings and they are mighty cool as well.

My first car cost me $700.
My second cost me $1,800 ~ and that was all taken out of insurance money.
You're damn lucky I tell you what.
Personally, i'd get a Honda Civic. My father works with cars quite a bit and most mechanics around here say that for having such a large number of them around, relatively few of them ever need repairs. A teacher I had has owned three of them so far and managed to pull around 300,000 miles off of each before it could no longer run.
Warning: Foreign cars generally cost a lot more to fix.

I would honestly go for a Honda - Accords and Civics run between like $22,000 and $24,000, I think, so they're within your budget.
My mom has had her '91 Honda Acccord since around then, and it still runs beautifully. I say any car that can handle MY driving is a good car.

they don't like american cars. well they can go to hell. american cars are some of the best cars out there and most affordable and longest running. people like this are the reason that bad companies like BMW and honda are touted as such great things when in truth they're shit. and i would never own either. and the thing is guess what? GM owns saab, subaru, and part of mercedes. ford owns mazda, volvo, jaguar, aston martin, and land rover. chrysler owns the rest of mercedes. that means out of the major companies you have leftover there's honda, toyota, mitsubishi, BMW, volkswagen, and nissan. now then toyota, nissan, and honda all produce a majority of their cars in none other than america. not in japan right here in the USA. toyota has a plant in san antonio texas. now knowing this that leaves us with mitsubishi, BMW, and volkswagen.
mitsubishi is the absolute worst company you could ever buy from. a car company that trades parts with the koreans, a car company that uses 30 year old engine design like it's something new. mitsubishi lacks something called quality control and fails to produce anything exciting or new.
BMW is a company that sells expensive cars that break down often and are in the garage and require costly expensive repairs it's not worth the trouble.
volkswagen. a company that makes quality cars and they're plenty affordable. plus they tend to have some look and feel to them and some passion in their design unlike nissan and hinda and toyota which all look plain, bland and watered down. go for an audi A4 1.8T quattro. it's the best of all the cars you could go for. if your parents weren't douchebags and liked american cars (i really don't see why you wouldn't unless you're an uneducated tool) i just say go for the audi A4 1.8T quattro. good car, mighty reliable, sturdy, and easy to maintain. i really don't like your parents though
