 Quiet, Doggie!  Group: Member Posts: 394 Joined: Aug 2006 Member No: 452,267  |
So I've just started driving and my parents want to find me a car and they're asking me what car I want (like, realistic ideal). I started out and I think I really like the Toyota Yaris and the Scion tC. And if price wasn't an issue I'd TOTALLY get a Mini Coop.
Suggestions? They don't really have to be similar to the Yaris or tC. I just want to look at cars and see if I like them. I'm 4'11'' and would prefer a smaller car, just fyi. That's the only real criteria I have. Oh and my mom objects to a manual transmission for my first car. Okay....GO! =) Thanks in advance! |

a honda fit!
 (i have one!) it's pretty good on gas, not pricey and it's small but roomy. i wanted a mini cooper too, but those little suckers are gas guzzlers. |

I agree with Kryo. Get a Metro. They're good on gas, and you can't go so fast you kill yourself.

They go 80. Thats faster than most streets. But its not fast enough to cause any worry.

First i would think about weather.
Think about if it snows especially and how icy/slippery it can get. For me i would absolutly LOVE a minicooper but with the winters being complete hell to drive, i know that car is not logical for where i live unless its summer. |
