Mazda...uh, something
Alright, my sister got her license last year and my rents told her she's getting a car for her 17th Bday. The only car that she has actually pointed out that she likes is the Scion xA.
What are some good ideas for a very reliable good looking car for a teenage girl?
I know y'all are gonna say MZ3, but I dont like it that much and netiher does she, so...
 
...and Im not so sure I want her to have the same car as me, so i dunno about a used P5 ;)
 
have them get her a mini cooper S.... faster than your car, and it handles like its on rails
 
damn, the more I think about it, maybe we should get her an 03 P5.

I cant think of one damn new car that I would like to see her driving...

Civic, Corolla, Matrix, Sentra, MZ3, Accent, Spectra, Cavalier, Sunfire, ION, Neon, Focus...All get the big thumbs down (yupnope)
 
I would a get a Mazda 3 sedan or a 2002/2003 Spec V(the front end of the new one looks gay).My best friend has one and he let me drive it and it's fast.6pd 0-60 in 7.2 sec.Damn.

Dude, seriously, let her get the Scion xA. My sister-in-law just got one, and it's perfect for her. Compact, Roomy, reliable, really good mileage, etc, etc. etc.
 
yeah, that's the only thing I really like. Im trying to convince her to get a stick though...Gonna spend the weekend trying to teach her. That should be lotsa fun(lol2)
 
SpecVs are fine, but too expensive...I dont want her to get a regular 1.8...they are teh suck ;)

haha, I'll tell her...NOT(lol2)
 
Mazda 3. I think it is really the best car out there for that money. Fit and finish is really good on them too.
