Just for a simple daily driver, I will say something like a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. If they want something a little bigger, then the pilot or 4runner, if they are passionate about cars starting off, I will recommend keeping the horsepower anywhere from 200hp to 500hp and if they can afford the monthly payments.
This all sounds like a good framework to me
I had a $7k budget, between my options were a couple of Civics with D series engines, but then I stumbled into an AE86 GTV within that price range, so I got it as my first car. Absolute bargain considering how much those things are worth in the US. Almost 5 years later and I still have it, and is currently undergoing a K swap.
Dude that’s frikkin awesome.
@@TheRacingJokerYup, fits all your criteria too, relatively affordable, not expensive to maintain, and below the 300hp range (by a lonshot because it was making 130hp stock 😅).
@@riceball52 that’s an awesome platform to grow with though as you become more experienced 👌🏻 best of luck to ya 🫡
The difference between FWD and RWD: With FWD, you understeer into the tree and die. With RWD, you oversteer, get sideways and you slide into the tree and die.
Perfect
Tom, lemme stop you right there, on the stick shift point. I'm disabled, but I can drive with my feet, even though I have Cerebral Palsy. You sound like my father right now. He bought me a car and said the only way I could drive is if I could walk normally. I was 15, I'm 30 now. Don't gate-keep your kids. I resent my dad for this. He used a vehicle as a bargaining chip, a V6 93 Camaro, and threw it away when I couldn't complete his impossible task. He built mud trucks when I was a child and offroading is still the coolest thing to me, because of those memories.
He had great taste in cars and had skills, but he's a shit parent.
Not attacking you, just please don't be like my dad.
I would only gatekeep based on my kid’s level of interest. Your interest in cars is undeniable and you have a legitimate reason why it wouldn’t be necessary. It’s a question of if they can then they should sort of thing (my wife refuses to learn stick which limits the sports cars we can share)

I completely understand that. My girlfriend is a huge DnD/ medieval weapon aficionado. I think her passion is neat and she said she'll support whatever I want to build. I'm working to get a 1994 Caprice with the LT1 on the road and have an 83 Suburban in the works.
I plan on sharing the automotive hobby with everyone I come in contact with.
Personally when anyone has asked me i recommend a truck or an suv like a tahoe they are tanks
I can see the logic. But then I’d want them to have seat time in large vehicles first.
@@TheRacingJoker I understand that
The car I wanted as my first car but never had was a 1st gen Hyundai Tiburon 2.0 liter 140 hp preferably a red one (not the bug eye facelift). Now they're pretty much extinct 😥
It would be cool if they brought back the tiburon name.
Although I dream of getting a Honda S2000, my first car is my dad's 2007 Lexus ES350
Lexus is a cool starter! Good luck on your S2K dream
What I tell first timers.. buy the car you need not what you want. Best part of being a teen in the 80s were 800 dollar mustangs and camaros, 1 buddy had a 71 914 that was a basket case from the wreckers him and his Dad rebuilt one summer from scrap parts.
As for rear wheel drive, that's all we had, people are soft skilled these days.
That’s a great point. I think in a lot of cases it’s hard to say what a teen needs for their own first car, because in a lot of cases there’s an argument to be made that they really don’t need a car
Wtf, in France insurance won't take your car if it has more than 120hp as a new driver. And even 120 is a lot, most will have 60 to 90hp.
But most cars are manual. I finally got to buy my dream car that is the gt86 and that was not easy to get insurance even after nearly 5 years of driving without accidents.
And the gr86 costs 35k$ but has a 60k$ écologi malus so now it's a 95k$ car 😂.
Geez that reminds me of Singapore where a Corolla cost as much as a 911 gt3
A First car that I would pick is definitely the Volkswagen UP! 🎉😅
I could see that! I’m not sure we even have those here in the U.S.
@TheRacingJoker Yes, Sometimes I see them here in the UK haha😂🎉
lol mine is a 350+HP g37 sedan and I think it's pretty alright (modified obviously)
That's a great start!
I think a used golf 6 tdi 1.6 - 105 hp would be the choice for my child 🖖🏻😅
I‘m from austria so it would be a solid choice i think🙊
That’s not a bad choice at all! Problem is I was going by the American market. If I was still in Europe or Asia my choice would probably have been different
@@TheRacingJoker i feel you :)
But your choices were really good . !!!Over all i agree with you a 100%
Back in the day with a budget of 2200€ i bought myself as a first car a 99 golf 4 1.9 tdi 90 hp with 350000 km
I wrecked it one month later😂😂😂
would a e90-e91 328i model be okay to start out with? since that's what I have.
I might it won’t be a handful, they’re nice little cars. I would just do research on upkeep and get it inspected before you buy it
2001 ford ranger 3.0 v6.
I’ve had a lot of people tell me their first car was a ranger
Give me a suggestion pls😊
My number one first car choice was and still is a 90s honda. Whether it be an integra or a civic. I'll take a B16 powered Civic Si myself
@@TheRacingJoker Nice, fun fact over here a 90s Honda is more costly than a new car with similar specs, built by Yours Truly, Suzuki 💀. Finding one under 1000$ is like getting junk, its broken af, perfect for a project car.
So what's item no: 2??
Picking a Supercar as a supercar?
Well, I picked a small hatchback with a manual gearbox as well.
What hatchback?
@@TheRacingJoker depends. Like Ford Focus ST or Toyota GR Corolla
E36 325i?
Not bad, if you can handle beemer upkeep. I wanted an E46 330ci as a kid
Just pick civic type rXD
The Civic type r is a cool choice but the budget would probably keep me from choosing it
@@TheRacingJoker Not if you go for old ones:D
