im 17 and im looking to get a new car im thinking a 02 Honda civic.


can anybody tell me if that would be a good car to start with??? And if not can anyone suggest a good car to start with?  

umm...well me being totaly against civics id have to say NO BAD KID!!!!...lol but seriously a civic is a great starter if you want to do the stuff yourself...mainly because there are four BILLION!!!!!!!...civic parts and kits and blah blah blah.  i cant say much seeing as my first tuner was a freaking 99 eclipse gts so yeah lol..talk about following the crowd.  but to be honest i just picked up a VW GTI...and i love it...its a great car to playwith..so yeah always keep your otions open abecause once you realize (and your WILL realize) the your civic is not only over rated but even if it is a begginer car..that 15 grandor so you ARENT getting back you know...if you want to be serious about be shure to keep things open. you might even think about a 240sx or something?...great cars lots of parts but way more individual lol.  

What do you want in your new car?  Power?  Handling?  Aesthetics?  Reliability?  Affordability?  Also what kind of budget you have to work with?  Telling us what exactly your looking for and how much you have can help us figure out what exactly would be the best choice for you.
