Thanks for all the reccommendations and advice .
We are looking at older 3-series BMW 2006-2009. Gonna look at a 2007 128i this weekend to see if it will be too small. |

Yesterday, I test drove the WRX and while it drives well the interior is horrible, so I might skip it totally. I'm amazed by how far the Civic hatchback has came. I might go with it, I still have three other cars to test. |

Fiesta ST is more fun to drive than it should be. If I could go back in time and replace the Honda Civic I drove in High School with a Fiesta ST, I would.

Manual 335i all the way. Speaking from experience, except I'm 16 I didn't buy my car but I did buy all my mods. I also pay for gas (and e85) lol. It's an awesome car. The only maintenance issue I've had was a few coils, but those were cheap and easy to replace. I do realize that my car is up there in terms of HP but that's exactly what makes me kind of scared of it. That HP can get me in trouble really quick and that's not something I want to do. Too many kids in my classes are already on their 3rd car and they are only 17. They just don't learn. Plus, I have way too much time and money invested in the car to just lose it over something stupid. As long as he is responsible then I see no reason to not go for it. I've had lots of fun father-son bonding time installing parts that I won't forget, (especially when things got frustrating haha). I'm glad to be in this kind of car culture now. I'm not sure I could say the same if I had an old corolla or Camry. (Not bashing them though, they are very practical cars) That's just my 2¢ though. Good luck!

I helped my niece get a 2014 Chevy Cruz LT with a touch screen certified for 7years 100k miles with 47k miles for $9,999. Although I did not drive it, she liked it and it seems like a great deal.

I would want a car that is safe, reliable, and inexpensive to maintain. Finance the new car is considerably cheap rates that we are having. If you are one to make your child "work for things" You can gradually increase their responsibility to pay for the car payment. |

I can remember when my friend got a new e90. He waited for the special order lemon leather interior. His 2007 3 series is long gone, but I still have my modified 1976 e12 3.5 liter.

Plus, the early VR6 engines found in B6 Passats (2006-2007) had oil pump issues. I sold my 2006 Passat VR6 4-motion before warranty expired because of this. Now that I have owned a N54, the oil bolt issues doesn't seem that bad lol

Some good advice here. Teenagers wreck cars. That's what they do. But if you'd like to save 15% on car insurance..:.:
Statistically teens wreck more cars than any other age class. There insurance is outrageous for a reason. That being said, my choice car for teenager would be a Toyota Camry or if you want something more practical a Prius or a volt. Anything else in your asking for trouble. |

Parents bought me a 2002 GTI 1.8T. Did I do stupid stuff...yes. But I never got a ticket or in trouble in that car. I drove it for 100k miles and treated it better than all of the girls I used to date.
The golfs with the 5 cylinder engine are absolute garbage. A clean GTI is a safe and fun car for a teenager. +1 would do again. +1 will get a GTI for my son if I have one.
