LOL, I'm only 13 rite now, but I'm already working towards my first car which I won't be able to drive in 2 yrs or more....
I'm not sure what first car to get, but I really want a rx-7,silvia,supra,3000zx, or 3000gt. Do any of yuo think any if these r reliable,cheap first cars, or are there any other better choices?  

If you want a cheap car, your best bet is to stick with FWD(front wheel drive). Though, you may or may not like it, I tell you that they are reliable. A good example is a Honda Accord and Civic. Those cars are cheap, but it depends on the year too.
Bro I drive a 1994 Mit. Galant. It only costed me $500 and it runs well for a car that is 12yrs old. When i get this car fully customized, hopefully I can get it to run +300hp.

I doubt anyone would care to comment...  

dude....get a twin turbo supra if your working already thats what i wanted when i was about your age....like a 94 or around there.........gl lol  

Your probably not going to want to hear this but getting a turbo car, or fast car for your first car is a good recipe for disaster. Besides you have to learn on a crappy car before you get a nice car, and you do not want a maintenance needy turbocar for a first car.

I knew a kid who drove like a maniac in his RS EClpse with an exhaust. Swore he was speed racer or Paul Walker or something. He would floor it through crowded movie theatre lots, pull the ebrake and do donuts, fwd drift on crowded roads, and drove like an absolute [censored]. His name was Harley.

Harley died less than a mile from my house on January 2nd, 2006. It was also not far and on the same road where I had a bad accident that totaled my miata, just 9 months before his fatal accident.

He Was going too fast in the rain at 2am in the morning, came upon a turn, flipped it, was ejected, and then hit by another car, body unrecognizable. Natural Selection was determined to be the actual cause of death.

Same will happen to you, if you start with any of the turbo versions of those cars you came up with. I suggest getting a civic and learning how to correctly drive and correctyl maintain one of these, before moving up to a turbo anything. And hold onto that civic til your atleast 19 or 20 before getting a turbo car, only then might you have enuff knowledge and driving experience to start working with a turbocharged car.

Fast Turbo cars need respect from there owners which I dont think a 13 year old thats learned everything about cars from video games could give, or you will wind up wrapping it around a telephone pole with you inside. Ive seen it happen before.  

My thoughts exactly, Sirscrotum. Well said.  

Lol, I didn't learn any of this stuff from games. I learned it from drivers. I'm not planning to get the turbo version of any of these cuz they will be too fast, and too costly. I was looking at price ranges and all of them r kinda expensive. I couldn't find anything good for under 12k,which is how much I'll probably have when i'm 16. I'm thinking about a celica with a few mods externally, dont need mods to make it go faster at 16. Do u know any cars under 12k that r good for a first car?  

OK, everyone's gonna make fun of me, but.... I have a 2001 KIA Rio. 1.5L NA flat four making 96HP. With a 5 speed tranny, it has plenty of pickup for a first vehicle, and mine's been good to me. It costed $8900 spankin' new, and so far Besides tires and oil I've had to replace the clutch ($300) and the valve cover gasket due to a leaky oil ring($128). I drive this car like a rape date, and still it hasn't let me down coming up on 100k miles. The '06 model year starts at around $13k and has been upgraded to 105HP. I'm older than you, but full coverage on that car is only $75 a month from American Family. The donsides are you'll never be able to mod it, and by the time you're ready for something else the car will have little value. Until then, you'll enjoy the 35 MPG (and I drive like gas was free) and the low maintainence.

PS I forgot, To maintain the 100k warranty you'll have to get a comprehensive tuneup at 30, 60, &90 thousand miles, and they run about $500 at the dealer, but less at a regular mechanic. At least the 60k tuneup (the only one I got) ran that price, but they replace the timing belt which requires extensive teardown, so the others may be cheaper.  

Yea,
I heard Kias were really reliable cars.
And if your engine is broke, they replace it with another brand new engine, for free. But I wouldnt buy one because there arent many part for em, and i just dont like the look.
But. they good cars.  

yeah, aftermarket= 0, but for the reliability is OK. Plus you can drive with your foot to the floor most of the time, so it seems faster than it is. The steering responds well too. It can carve a 360 in 13 feet.  

The stories of friends dying in freak accidents happens all the time in Orlando, Fl. You have my condolences from me. That was something i had forgot to mention when i said to get a 4cly like a Civic. I don't want to sound like someone's parent or some whacked out driving instructor ,but you must start out small before you move on to stuff that requires more experience.
My dream, at your age, was to own a 2000 Mitsubishi FTO. But for me to own such a thing, I needed tons of driving lessons before i reached the point of owning one. Now i and still driving a 94 galant and i refuse to give it up now that i have been through a whole lot with the car. Now i wish to customize that car into a race machine (not to race illegally).  

I own a kia 2002 spectra 1.8. I hav since done some     engine mods: 81mm Big Trottle Body, Cat Black Exhast, Cold Air Intake, Colt Cams Stage II,  KUK's Modified ECU,  Lightened Crank Pulley,  Stage II Clutch,  T8D Header, performace.     Suspension: Rear Sway Bar, Strut Bar,  Eibock Streetpro     Body: waiting on the II Hatch Buddy Club Kit for my hatchback, Wheels:SPEEDY Hyper Fang Chrome. So to say that customing a Kia is impossible, how about checking out www.kia-fx.com or www.streetkiaz.com

Hey, I stand corrected, for all my googling I couldn't find that kiafx.... That said, I drive a 1st gen rio. For a couple thou, plus the loss of my vehicle for a while to send them parts off it, I could gain about 25 HP. That would be a whopping 121 HP on the crank, and it's still a front driver. Maybe if I had a tiburon, I'd spend money on it, but that's the only hyndai/kia that I peronally think is worth tuning. Anyway, as for the first car thing, I think a Miata is a great idea!
