What are some good first cars? - 1

I'm 16 and I want to get a car. I want something unique. Something when someone I know sees it going down the street, they'll know it's me. Here's some cars I was thinking of.

-1988 Merkur XR4Ti
-1991 Ford Crown Victoria Country Squire
-1994 Mazda Navajo
-2002 Lincoln Blackwood

Which one should I get? What other unique cars should I look at?

At 16 I'm guessing you don't have unlimited funds for insurance. The Crown Vic is your obvious choice from this list but you'll be disappointed in the mileage.

I think you might be better off buying a good reliable car like a Honda or Toyota and adding custom striping or paint plus custom wheels to make it standout.

  • Why are some Ford cars (like the Taurus and Focus) such unreliable cars? I'm looking at cars in the $3000 - $4500 range and I'm noticing a decent amount of Ford Taurus's and Focus's and out of all the cars that I see, these are two cars that just seem so unreliable. I test drove a Focus last year and it sounded like something was wrong with the engine.
