What car should I get for a first car? - 1

So, these are my option.s I'm 18, just getting my G2 in a few weeks and these are my options.

- BMW
- Toyota
- Volvo

I feel Toyotas are not safe based off the stories I have heard. Honda is the same thing. This guy I met at my cousin's auto repair shop, told me that he was once in a Honda, and some driver accidentally hit the car somewhere and he flew out of the window. My dad now drives Toyota Corolla, and he told me he once had a Volkswagen, and when he was parking it in a public mall parking lot or wherever, he hit the front bumper of the car really hard and he thought his bumper was garbage. He goes outside to check, and he sees a small scratch on the car. Volvo, I don't know how they are whatsoever, they seem like really safe cars though.

My cousin who is a mechanic, drives a lot of BMWs, He buys them, and sells them, and does all kinds of selling and buying with BMWs. He says BMWs are his favorite in terms of reliability and such.

Any ideas as to what I should get?

The stories you've heard are just that -- just stories. As a result of listening to those isolated stories, you are getting a lot of incorrect impressions. You need to broaden your research to get something more than stories from friends and relatives. The Internet is a great source of information about the most reliable cars, the safest cars, the best rated cars, and more.

For example, your story about how Toyota and Honda aren't safe is silly. And nothing about Volvo makes them any more safe than any other brand. And BMWs are not a very reliable brand. So, do your own research and forget those silly stories.

You really don't know much.

get a mazda 3 or 6.

Get the car that you can afford to get serviced and repaired. A BMW oil change is about $500.

I once heard of story on someone driving a bmw and it hit a small car and it rolled over and killed everyone inside it.

BTW anyone who doesn't wear a seat belt will fly out of a car.

  • Should I get this Porsche is my first car? Here's a little background: I go to a wealthy school. Most of the kids parents, including mine, are wealthy. They just Mercedes-Benz's, Audi's, Porsches, Corvettes, etc. It is a 2000 Porsche 911Carrera 4 cabriolet. It costs about $12,500. Should I get it? Before you say anything, I will not get an older Honda or any poor people cars.
