We are looking for a good & reliable used car for our daughter. Of course she is 16, so she would like for it to be "cute" also. If anyone has or knows of someone with a good car to sell, please let me know. Thanks for your help.

I bet she'd love a black 05' Hyundai Tiburon :biggrin:

What ever you get her, make sure it's manual and can only seat 2 people. My kids will learn how to drive stick, you never know when you'll need it.

Nothing black. We live on a VERY long dirt road.

You're suggesting she get a 2 seater car for a 16 year old? Wouldn't that be...well, small? If you think they won't pile people in a 2 seater, you're wrong...we did :lol:

Shaa! Who needs a backseat for that? A teenager can get lucky in the front seat of a Chevette just as easily as the backseat of a minivan. Just not as comfortably.

A high quality backseat can be quite enticing :lol:

best kind of car would probably be like a Honda Civic. they can be cute, cheap, good gas mileage...a kid can't ask for much more. could get a 4 seater with only 2 doors. they have good track records and last awhile, so you could get a late 90s or early 00s model and probably be ok for a few years of crazy teenage driving. don't know where you can find one, but that's an idea.

Keep a blanket or 2 in the trunk, and the world becomes your backseat.

whatever! no backseat means the girl will climb on the guy while he is driving! and thats sooooo much more unsafe!

Im confused about what Im confused about :lol:

Chevy's HHR is annoying to drive as well. Horrible blind spots.

I have a co-worker that desperately wanted a PT Cruiser. Finally got one and traded it in less than 1 yr of owning it.

This is exceptional advice. But I think my 17 yr old son can text with his nose, too.

Oh, I dont know, they could be had with the 2.4 turbo, and that makes it sprightly, anyway. Not a bad choice ofr a first ride. Visbilty? Eh, good to learn how to look around, and packs more beef than an accord.

Does feel much more enclosed than a Neon (you know they share the underlying platform? thanks to the high sills) I agree, though.
