Is this a good first car?

[mcdkid]

it has been said, but volvo is a good way to go. my first wa a 940 turbo. a pretty quick little tank. great on gas, and is cheap it self.

The xB is the fugliest car ever made. I have driven stick, and prefer automatic. I considered a Hyundai Sonate because they come with Automatic and "Manual" where you can switch between.

Right, but if the computer senses too high of RPMs it shifts for you regardless of your input. So its a "feel good 'manual'" at best.

Went for a test drive with my dad saturday, and they sold BOTH CR-Vs in our price range Friday afternoon. I think I am going to stick with like an '03 civic.

Uhhhh... yeah... most people do. That's one reason they cost more.

Hmmm, most people I know like manuals better after having driven them... there are a few though who would rather have the auto for ease.

Manuals are great except for the gridlock traffic.

My suggestion find corolla or a civic and spend about 2 grand on it. Start saving as much as you can because college ain't cheap and buying your first house is definately not cheap.

I know your going to hate me, but I am not paying for college either.

And here is the one I ran into a telephone poll:

Is that a dead animal/child under the left front tire?
