I'm looking to buy a car?

I've been 16 for a few months now and
I recently just got my licenses and suggestions on good first cars? My mom keeps pushing towards hondas and toyotas and although I want a reliable car, I want something stylish, and not too old and beat up any suggestions? Also is $5000 realistic for a good car?

Depends on what part of the country you're in.
Look at Toyota S, they are sport class. Do you like Scion? They are Toyota with a bit of style. Mazda's are pretty reliable too, and they can be fun.

$5000 is realistic, but you still have to consider the mechanical aspects. You like sporty, your mom likes Honda and Toyota - so compromise and get an Accord, Civic, or Celica.

Hi so why do you think your mother is suggesting these japanese trucks simple they give less problems than som of what you might call stylish. In fact they might be stylish till they leave you stranded one dark night with wolves at the door waiting for you to exit to make a meal out of you.
