I'm going to buy my daughter a car for her 16th birthday. I want to get her something quick, sporty, newer but used, that is 15,000 or under. What are your suggestions.

volkswagen beetle (post 1998, almost quintessential girl's car these days)
mercedes C230 coupe (another car that girls love for some reason. not a bad car by my standards but a girls car nonetheless)
toyota corolla (post 2004 model. all girls love these cars. they're slow, underpowered, boring, econoboxes. but it turns girls on)
ford mustang (my god if there is any car that has more of a female following but tries to be manly i have yet to see it. this car, no matter what the model save for the 80's ones, is almost always owned or operated by a woman. they love em. now with a mustang i'll tell you get the V8. don't be the person going "i coulda had a V8" be the person with one) [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

I drive a Lexus and own sport bikes and this car got me excited. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
