I'm a 15 year old boy turning 16 in a few months, And my parents have told me if I get good grades then they'll buy me whichever car I'd like. But i'd feel bad if they payed for the whole thing so I suggested that I pay half and then they pay half. And they Agreed. I'm sure I'd be paying for gas and all that other stuff that goes into having a car. I've been consider a lot of cars. My grandma has a 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. And she said that would be the ideal car for a 16 year old. The only think I dislike about the Civics are that they are really low to the ground. I've been considering a lot of cars. I originally wanted an Suv. But There weren't any SU V's out there for me that don't kill your pocket book. I want a nice Car but an Affordable one. So I was looking into the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. There cheaper used and somewhat fuel efficient and overall they look good. My main question is that is it safe enough for a new driver like myself. please give me suggestions.
We can Afford the car, I dont want a peice of crap for a first car. I go to a very exclusive school in california. and having a crappy car would ruin my reputation I'd be a laughing stock. Kids my age at this school for there 16th birthdays are getting Mercedes and Bmw. We can afford it. I just dont want to spend money on something thats not worth paying for safety wise.
