Answers:
Stay away from the Jap cars, Buy American
sell you a ferrari
get a first hand Mini.
BMW 320 ci Head turner

or a Nissan Micra maybe.good first car!
Dodge Neon Sports are nice, but the older modles have lots of trouble. andything 2000 and better might be good. The engines are highly modifiable.

And there ARE no American made cars..Heh.at least not completely. except Honda, which is owned by Japan but operated in USA completely..wierd huh.
Toyota corolla

How about a SMART ROADSTER COUPE? I've just got one for around £7500 on an 04 plate. 698cc Turbo, 80 bhp but you'd think it was 180bhp! Good fuel economy and you can take the roof off and stick it in the boot.
Ive got a seat leon cupra

180 bhp turbo charged road burner, doesnt look like a max power christmas tree, cheap parts and servicing all vw engine and running gear, fully loaded with leather,

real hot hatch with practicallity

mines a o2, paid 8995 from a seat dealer, best car ive ever bought.
Hubby bought a 2nd hand Renault Laguna and that has been fantastic, v good safety rating too.
A Mini (get Mini One because the insurance for an 18 year old would be too high on a cooper) - i just sold mine, but loved it.
Or Toyota Aygo - could get a brand new one in black for less than £10k and they look really good. Like a slightly smaller 207 but much more reliable.
If you want more of a boys' car then, a new Honda Civic or Clio Sport?
nice profile ->

''so how do you know about it?''

sounds familiar?
