Should I get a Ford Focus or a Skoda Fabia as a starter car?
Looking at a 1.4l Skoda Fabia from 2008-2010 or a Ford Focus 1.6l Zetec from 2005-2007. I'm 17 so need something good and reliable, but I want it to be nice inside and also drive nicely. HOPEFULLY without insurance raping me - I'll probably get a black box.
Ford focus
The Fabia is nice to drive, has a better quality interior than the Ford, and will be cheaper to insure.
As a new driver, you'll get absolutely spanked for having a 1.6.
But even a Fabia 1.4 is going to be expensive. Much better to look for 1.0 versions of cars like the Fiesta, Corsa, Micra, Aygo (and the near identical Peugeot and Citroen versions of the same car). The Smart ForTwo is also cheap to insure as with just two seats insurers love that they have far leas risk ot expensive personal injury claims from passengers.
All can be fun to drive. But for now that comes last on your list of priorities: your first car just needs to be safe, boring, low-power A to B transportation.
Ford Focus if you want reliability.
- Should Sears and Ford HIRE Dotard McTiny as their CEO and get profitable again! If he can get Foreign Diplomats and American Lobbyists to? Pay $350.00/night to sleep in a tiny room in an old Post Office and keep it FULL and VERY PROFITABLE, don't you think that he could come up with an idea to save 40+ thousand American jobs?
- What car should I get for my first car? I'm 16 and about to buy my first car. I'm thinking about getting a 94 Ford Ranger (120k miles) with lifted suspension, off road tires, and a prerunner bumper. Would this be a reliable car throughout my high school years? Should I get that or should I just get a 2 door coupe?
- Which car should I get as a first car? Ford fusion 06 or 07 model? Or chevy avalanche 2002 z71. And last Mazda 6 04, 05 & 07. The newer the higher the price for each model(not by much). I'm a fan of each car and model style, so really want to know which last longer, cheaper maintenance and good car for a college boy.
- Which car should I get? Ford Focus vs Mazda3? I'm going to be buying a new car in the next couple months. I've been looking at ('11 or '12) Ford Focus or ('11 or '12) Mazda 3. I know these cars are very similar. I just don't know which to get! I need some opinions on them. Which is better on gas? best quality? better on insurance/maintence? suggestions andand opinions please?
