What should my first car be?

Ok first off, I'm getting my license in a few months and need to start looking for a car. I definetly do not want to get a honda or toyota for my first or anything else that falls into the standard first car category. If I have to get something that that's old but not too old, maybe something from the late 90's early 2000's, as for a bit of a new car maybe early 2010, s I definetly want a muscle car or luxury, I do not want a "sporty" car, if it's a sports car it has to be real muscle like a challenger. American only or German only. As for luxury cars somethiny fairly safe and inexpensive and not too expensive to maintain. Any ideas?

A honda civic is a solid car.

How much are YOU paying for this car? Have Mommy and Daddy said they were just going to open up their wallet and let you get what ever you want, or is that a little "surprise" that you are going to let them know once you pick the car out?

FYI any "Luxury" car by definition is going to have significantly higher maintenance costs, and any "Muscle" car for a new driver is going to have insurance rates comparable to the national debt.

So perhaps before you DREAM about what car you are going to get, you should look at REALITY and figure out how much car you can afford. Both in purchase price and additionally how much a month you can put towards maintenance and insurance. Update this question with those details and you will get a lot better answers.

You obviously don't know too much about cars. The Honda Civic is one of the most popular cars for over a dozen good reasons -- reasons that old cars, muscle cars, and luxury cars can't match. Reliability, repair expenses, and insurance cost are going to be your biggest challenges with the other cars you mentioned.

Sorry, that's not what you wanted to hear, but you haven't faced reality yet, and sometimes reality is different from your dreams.
