The Mustang's weird modern reputation seems to stem from the fact that the car isn't bad, it's just that a considerable number of drivers are stupid-ass teenage jerks.
My first car was a 1999 ford escort ZX2. Those headlights were so cool to me, wrecked it and got 2001 of the same car but In green, to a 2002 single cab tacoma, to a 2015 subaru outback, to my now baby 2019 civic hatchback
First car recommendation: 2014 Toyota Tacoma manual 4x4.... Cops will not know you exist, you can move around all your stuff in your early teens / 20's when you are constantly moving for school or job, your family and friends will appreciate helping out on the weekends, very reliable, can go anywhere, and old farts like myself would think "there goes a responsible young lad". If you take care of it you can sell it for what you nearly paid for it and get yourself a proper sports car when you have the money.
I bought a 2005 Lincoln LS v8 in Jan 2020 for 3k, my dad found it and didn't even check it out but I bought it anyways. It drove fine for months till a guy installed a sub and new stereo and messed up the computer 🗿

@@butterflyeffect2411 Hi, Thanks for the tip. I paused to look for a car since where I live in Edmonton, Alberta it's winter time & maintaining any car will be a hassle with all the salt, dirt & potential hazards (Karens & their AWD SUV with all seasons that crash into anything especially). I am fixed on the BRZ 2015-2017 model or WRX 2016-2017 for sometime Summer.
Honestly, I disagree with a little with the 240sx (keyword a little it's all good, I totally understand your points). I think once you get it into working condition it can be as practical as any car so long as you only ever need two seats. And I refute the budget with the fact that they are sold quite cheap currently. All you have to do is gradually work your way up. I think assuming it's in working condition and you're not some reckless driver, it will be suitable. But that's just me, a lot of people will disagree.
@@UhKimboze Still not a good first car there are way better options than a 240sx for the same money. To even get a good working condition one that you can daily is no easy feat as well especially to get one at a reasonable price. As for the ones that are sold quite cheap they barely run and are basically held together by rust and zip ties. Plus come on man it's a 240sx you can't expect to buy one and not be reckless once in a while.
@@HimmelWeintHimmel if you say so. I've thought about it. Think, driving smart isn't that hard and you don't need a 240 that's functional off the bat anyway. Part of the fun was the build. I got it when I was 13 and finished working on her before I earned my license. That's why you start early. It was my first car and it was perfect for me.
I think its only real based on region. I just went on facebook marketplace and looked for some. We have plenty that are between 2k and 5k. All running non drift missiles. Of course some have issues like paint fade, and no a/c or a leak of some sort but otherwise nothing thats gonna break the bank.
TheBasementMN the 240 is retardedly overpriced. You have to find one being sold by someone that doesn’t know anything about cars to get one at the right price
Not sure how long you guys had it. It’s my first car and I’m about to sell it after 6 months. Super fun to drive but hate the fact that I can’t run fast with a fast car. 3 tickets and almost go to jail for this shit. I’m out. I’ll get it again later for weekend fun but definitely not daily.
@@ralphdevinfung8055 i have the 2017 ecoboost and it is fun and had it for about a year now i do daily mine and love it great gas and has some good speed obviously it aint a GT but i chose a ecoboost because i wanted balance since it wont be in a drag race.

V8's get bad gas mileage? HAH, **Laughs in Grandpa as I cruise on the highway in 8th gear at less then 1K RPM and get 27.7MPG, even in V8 mode** Note: This only works if you live in an area with little traffic, or work from home, since you can avoid rush hour.
My Mustang does 60 mph in 5th gear at around 2.5k RPM. 4.10 gears. 4th gear takes me from 40 mph to 100 pretty quickly. Mustangs are good highway cruisers.
Me: okay, don’t buy a Mustang. Your parents told you it’s not a smart buy, you’re 18 years old and a full time college student with two jobs. Just chill with your 2013 Fusion. Also me: *buys a 1973 Mustang Grande barn find with a 302 and lots of underbody surface rust*
@@jacksonbrewer2380 they’re not hard to control, it’s actually pretty easy. A big reason you see more mustang crashes than Camaro and Chal/Char is because there’s so many more of them, mostly because they’re just way better than Camaros and Chal/Char

@@10RBREEZY fun fact, insurance on mustangs (unless you’re a bad driver with a crappy history) is actually super reasonable. I pay less than 1300 PER YEAR. I’m also a young guy & I’m still getting that pricing. It’s all good, and with regards to “noise”, just don’t straight pipe it and you should be good!
@@QuinnWillBaker Thank you so much for your help, litterally. This made me more confident into getting one this week! I cant wait for the upgrade, from my current 05 Mustang.
How much is your insurance bro, I'm gonna buy a 16, 17 camaro 1lt or 2lt when I turn 16 in a couple months V6 cuz I dont need a V8 right now and I'll be on my parents insurance plan and its a v6 so insurance will be cheaper but Im just wondering how much you pay
@@kiwizlucks4947 might depends on where you live. I personnaly own a 2013 V6 mustang and the insurrance are around 170$ a month where i am. You could also call the insurrance company and tell them exactly the car you might buy and they could tell you what you will pay
In other words, if you really want it your gonna have to pay up. I had a two door Tahoe and sold it for 8k. KBB value was 4k, told the guy you want it you have to pay up.
My 99' Volvo V70 was at least $86 back in 08' during the George W Bush days (with an 18 gallon tank, mind you). Gas prices are not that bad right now, unless you're in Cali. If you are, then everything's expensive as hell.
The joke about doing burnouts outside your high school.... Yeaaa totally did that with a Genesis Coupe and the cops got called.... BUT DUDE THE VIDEOOOOO!!!!
Some rich kid at my high school had his dad buy him like a 2018 Camaro SS. He ended up trying to do a burnout on a rainy day and rammed it into a tree in about a week
Lmao, I wanna see this happen so badly at my school. A rich kids dad bought him a ZL1 Camaro and I must say it’s looks amazing but I want to see him crash and burn
I think I win. My first car was a 1991 Honda CRX Si. It's been 2 years since I bought the car and I haven't driving it once because it doesn't run and *everything* is broken(remove engine from car, rebuild entire transmission, entire suspension and am currently welding frame rust) . With the money I spend on repairs I could have bought a brand new car, lol. Worst decision I have every made in my life, but at the same time it's been an amazing learning experience.
I think the brz/86/frs is the best first car. looks sporty, not too fast, fun to drive, learn manual, huge after market, cheap, great gas mileage. Perfect car for a high schooler
Well my first car is a Subaru impreza hatchback and was owned by an old lady before me and she kept it stock so now I'm having fun with it and I love it!🤗
My first car was a 2003 WRX. Let me tell you, it forced me to learn how to work on cars real quick. Also learned a lot about how turbo systems, awd drivetrains, and manual transmissions work. It was 100% worth the headache and I would definitely own one again, once I can afford to put up with reliability issues again lol. I sold it to buy a 350z because I needed something more reliable that I wouldn't have to modify to enjoy. I don't regret my choice but I miss the Subaru.
How did you get into car maintenance? imy first car was a golf 4 but I wanted to learn car main. Myself and bought a mx5 Nbfl in 2020. But it is so difficult to understand what you have to do to keep it running... do you have a good source/idea? Oh, and yeha, how was the 350z? :D I thought about this model for my upgrade in a few years.
@@R-SXX Need some friends to help you to be honest to get started. Usually the beginning is oil changes, simple stuff to start off with. You aren't gonna be able to take an engine apart completely within 3 weeks and reinforce it to tune it up to 500hp. It takes a LOT of time to understand. What i am doing now is checking out a select few cars and study what engine they have, what their common problems are and how to potentially fix them. Body repairs/rust removal, oil change and changing air filter for fun. My recommendation is get a cheap car you can goof around with and if you break it who cares its a shitbox.
surprised to see this suggested but yea they are very decieving cars. theres actually a saab aero thats a wrx wagon with saab quality interior, sick. kinda like (certain) volvo's, just badass family sleepers.
Short Answer: There is no bad first car to own. Always start with a beater. Also the reason you don't see eclipse's is because they suffer the same fate as the evo's. 4g63 problems. I can't remember the last time I've seen anything mitsubishi on the road or at show's
Its quite a shame you don't see them almost at all (1g/2g) But I don't quite know what you mean by engine problems? I daily drive a 97 eclipse GSX running 20psi on a borg Warner 56mm turbo, stock internals other than head studs, I'm making 380awhp with no problems, and the engine has 135k miles. I love this engine and it has been nothing but good to me, as long as I keep up with maintenance (as with any high horsepower application) it will run great. Not trying to sound toxic, just curious if you know something I don't, and if I should be worried haha.
My tip no matter what car you buy join a community for that car on Facebook or whatever. When your unsure about something ask others in the group's i guarantee they will help.
I got an 18 EcoBoost mustang with 310 hp and 350 lb ft. It’s a great first car, as long as you have respect for the car and don’t act a fool. And as far as terrible gas mileage, I get 24 city and 34 highway.
I also just bought a 2017 ecoboost premium a week ago and honestly love it...need a custom exhaust tho i feel like its not as loud as i would like it to be
I felt like he pointed right towards me when he started with, " Yea I wanted 1992 3000gt vr4 red for my first car". Then proceed to look into the camera, I was like, " Really man... dont call me out like that at the start of the video". LMAO
Plus after you finish being 17 and stupid (or not lol) there is a huge aftermarket that isn't too expensive, it's an amazing platform, and so long as you have the HO 5.0 you have a pony ready to run with a good 500 ponies in a less than 3k lb car. Not speaking from experience or anything...
Honestly just dont buy any new car for a first car. Better yet dont even visit a dealer. If you have a low budget a 90s civic is probably the most simplest car to work on and reliable. (My recomendation). But really any easy car to work on thats reliable is what you need. Obviously if you are in a good spot financially you can dig into some sports cars but olders ones for sure. Cobalt ss, accord v6, mustang gt or z28 etc. (These are cars that are around or below year 2005). Never have i ever met someone that got a car from the dealer for their first and said they are having a good time. (Maybe lease would be better but ehh) Its never worth it. Who cares if your cars looks beat up or old. Also less electronics means less things to fail. Remember that. (Learn manual too, easier to fix)
FaZe CrAzY626 have a 95 accord rn but I want to upgrade to something a little more equipped and also fun. Trying to talk myself out of a b8.5 s4. But it’s such a perfect platform and daily driver as well as a slight sleeper it’s hard to say no to the dropping prices. Might upgraded to a v6 Honda but I want something I can keep and be happy with for a long time (and be fun enough to justify dumping maintenance and repair money into)
I could never understand how the people afford the first cars they have. Like I know a lot of the time it’s parents money or like a hand me down type situation but damn. The fact any of the cars he listed are even in the price range for a new car is unreal to me.
Legen wait for it Dary yeah man stay away from older BMW models, that’s why they’re only like $6,000 is because they are not built well early 2000’s along with Audi and Mercedes
Well first real car I got after driving a Camry for about a year was a new Mustang they can be good for those responsible enough or have no over inflated egos.
I drive an 05 Mustang GT Premium in Manual.... well I'm wishing I saw this video sooner because I'm dead smack in the middle of that insurance hike age range and this IS my first car. For anyone who is looking into getting a mustang, a couple things to note. 1) For the love of God, don't get your dream car as your first car. I can't sleep at night unless I'm within walking distance of it 2) The gas milage is terrible. Mine has a rune in it from the previous owner and despite my best efforts, nearly stock I cannot get it above 13.4 mpg. Mind you, I live in a city so there's plenty of stop and go. You will be getting hell every day at your entry level job and are expendable. Do yourself a favor and get a fuel efficient car so you can save up in case you get kicked out of your job 3) You are expected to race EVERYONE and if you don't already have mods on your car, you're seen as a poser. I personally hate this, but it's still fun to race around with completely random strangers. Just know that if you drive a stick shift like me, you're at a disadvantage right out of the gates because most people (at least in my area) are driving boosted WRX's, 10 speed automatic Challengers, or some other fast car in automatic. If you are going up against a behemoth, know you will need to drop a gear before you will stand a chance of keeping up with them. 4) Don't drive a red car if you plan on racing in the street. Go for silver or white. No one will see you because you don't stand out. This has been my personal experience shared with you all and I hope you can learn from it.
Monster Conrad Luckily it’s white, automatic, and AWD, so I’m not doing too bad for a start. Only problem is that it’s not modded and won’t be modded for quite some time, as I don’t have a job, and just started college. Can’t exactly afford to do anything to it right now.
@@notprefekt I didn't know they came AWD, but stock is significantly more reliable so you definitely don't have to worry about a tune sucking up all your gas
I got a 2017 blue 2.0T camaro as my first car. As he says in the video about visuals or whatever you get used to it over time. I’ve been driving for less than a year and I’m completely use to it and love driving it. It comes with its perks but also comes with its downfalls. Gas is fine obviously since it’s just a 2.0 but still goes pretty well for being stock and all. But I get compliments and some crap too for it but I still love it and I agree with your list lol, also sucks when you have v8s pull up and you know you can’t stand a chance 😂
@@savagelax8108 Blue is a color that stands out. Careful when driving. Cops see you much sooner than they see the loud fart can Honda Civic in white. Learn from my mistakes. I've got 7 years to pay s Premium on my insurance for having a 100mph speeding ticket
@@nickzaichuk7457 I got the 2016 BRZ. Had it for 4 months so far and I'm in love with it! I would choose the BRZ or 86 because the FRS has cheap plastic in the interior when I test drove one and I wasn't really fucking with it.
I own one too, a 3G. It was really decent, until I was the one that beat it up a bit, but that's cause I knew I was going to build it. Other than that I had no problems until after I beat up on it.

I think its only real based on region. I just went on facebook marketplace and looked for some. We have plenty that are between 2k and 5k. All running non drift missiles. Of course some have issues like paint fade, and no a/c or a leak of some sort but otherwise nothing thats gonna break the bank.
In my area the 2-5k you'd be lucky it had and engine. Most are beat up, especially if you're looking at a WRX. Friggin Northern Minnesota I tell ya.
TheBasementMN the 240 is retardedly overpriced. You have to find one being sold by someone that doesn’t know anything about cars to get one at the right price

Not sure how long you guys had it. It’s my first car and I’m about to sell it after 6 months. Super fun to drive but hate the fact that I can’t run fast with a fast car. 3 tickets and almost go to jail for this shit. I’m out. I’ll get it again later for weekend fun but definitely not daily.
@@ralphdevinfung8055 i have the 2017 ecoboost and it is fun and had it for about a year now i do daily mine and love it great gas and has some good speed obviously it aint a GT but i chose a ecoboost because i wanted balance since it wont be in a drag race.

I've already spent more on fixes than on the car itself 😅
I think I win. My first car was a 1991 Honda CRX Si. It's been 2 years since I bought the car and I haven't driving it once because it doesn't run and *everything* is broken(remove engine from car, rebuild entire transmission, entire suspension and am currently welding frame rust) .
With the money I spend on repairs I could have bought a brand new car, lol.
Worst decision I have every made in my life, but at the same time it's been an amazing learning experience.
I think the brz/86/frs is the best first car. looks sporty, not too fast, fun to drive, learn manual, huge after market, cheap, great gas mileage. Perfect car for a high schooler
It's a good car overall but don't get me wrong when ur on a tight budget when ur buying the first car this car won't come in that budget
Well my first car is a Subaru impreza hatchback and was owned by an old lady before me and she kept it stock so now I'm having fun with it and I love it!🤗
My first car was a 2003 WRX. Let me tell you, it forced me to learn how to work on cars real quick. Also learned a lot about how turbo systems, awd drivetrains, and manual transmissions work. It was 100% worth the headache and I would definitely own one again, once I can afford to put up with reliability issues again lol. I sold it to buy a 350z because I needed something more reliable that I wouldn't have to modify to enjoy. I don't regret my choice but I miss the Subaru.
How did you get into car maintenance? imy first car was a golf 4 but I wanted to learn car main. Myself and bought a mx5 Nbfl in 2020. But it is so difficult to understand what you have to do to keep it running... do you have a good source/idea?
Oh, and yeha, how was the 350z? :D I thought about this model for my upgrade in a few years.
@@R-SXX Need some friends to help you to be honest to get started. Usually the beginning is oil changes, simple stuff to start off with. You aren't gonna be able to take an engine apart completely within 3 weeks and reinforce it to tune it up to 500hp.
It takes a LOT of time to understand. What i am doing now is checking out a select few cars and study what engine they have, what their common problems are and how to potentially fix them. Body repairs/rust removal, oil change and changing air filter for fun.
My recommendation is get a cheap car you can goof around with and if you break it who cares its a shitbox.
Super underrated but a really good first car is a Saab 9-3. Fast and cheap.
True, A downpipe and a tune and your making pretty good power for dirt
Bump, I have a 9-3 Aero Sportcombi and love tf out of it.
Caffina 9-5 is also really great. Saab in general is a great brand, Volvo is also great
surprised to see this suggested but yea they are very decieving cars. theres actually a saab aero thats a wrx wagon with saab quality interior, sick. kinda like (certain) volvo's, just badass family sleepers.
@@chreeezy lol just commented that but couldnt remember the model name.
Short Answer: There is no bad first car to own. Always start with a beater.
Also the reason you don't see eclipse's is because they suffer the same fate as the evo's. 4g63 problems. I can't remember the last time I've seen anything mitsubishi on the road or at show's
I saw an eclipse last Sunday and we ended up racing lmao
I see the daily in cali
I mean a 4g63 model eclipse. Not the regular eclipse
Its quite a shame you don't see them almost at all (1g/2g)
But I don't quite know what you mean by engine problems? I daily drive a 97 eclipse GSX running 20psi on a borg Warner 56mm turbo, stock internals other than head studs, I'm making 380awhp with no problems, and the engine has 135k miles. I love this engine and it has been nothing but good to me, as long as I keep up with maintenance (as with any high horsepower application) it will run great.
Not trying to sound toxic, just curious if you know something I don't, and if I should be worried haha.
I live in Wisconsin just like Alex, and I have no idea what he meant when he said he never sees them, I see 10+ a day
My tip no matter what car you buy join a community for that car on Facebook or whatever. When your unsure about something ask others in the group's i guarantee they will help.
I second this, always good to meet members in the local car community as well
I got an 18 EcoBoost mustang with 310 hp and 350 lb ft. It’s a great first car, as long as you have respect for the car and don’t act a fool. And as far as terrible gas mileage, I get 24 city and 34 highway.

"So u want a foxbody " Alex show some luv to one of the fastest platform in automotive history
enrique carcamo I agree ☝️
Hell yesss
A fox body is probably the best rwd v8 oldschool first car, stock they aren’t too quick so no risk of crashing
Plus after you finish being 17 and stupid (or not lol) there is a huge aftermarket that isn't too expensive, it's an amazing platform, and so long as you have the HO 5.0 you have a pony ready to run with a good 500 ponies in a less than 3k lb car. Not speaking from experience or anything...
Honestly just dont buy any new car for a first car. Better yet dont even visit a dealer. If you have a low budget a 90s civic is probably the most simplest car to work on and reliable. (My recomendation). But really any easy car to work on thats reliable is what you need. Obviously if you are in a good spot financially you can dig into some sports cars but olders ones for sure. Cobalt ss, accord v6, mustang gt or z28 etc. (These are cars that are around or below year 2005). Never have i ever met someone that got a car from the dealer for their first and said they are having a good time. (Maybe lease would be better but ehh) Its never worth it. Who cares if your cars looks beat up or old. Also less electronics means less things to fail. Remember that. (Learn manual too, easier to fix)
i would love to have a civic as my first car
FaZe CrAzY626 have a 95 accord rn but I want to upgrade to something a little more equipped and also fun. Trying to talk myself out of a b8.5 s4. But it’s such a perfect platform and daily driver as well as a slight sleeper it’s hard to say no to the dropping prices. Might upgraded to a v6 Honda but I want something I can keep and be happy with for a long time (and be fun enough to justify dumping maintenance and repair money into)
I could never understand how the people afford the first cars they have. Like I know a lot of the time it’s parents money or like a hand me down type situation but damn. The fact any of the cars he listed are even in the price range for a new car is unreal to me.
Notice how no BMW’s were mentioned go get yourself a bmw young people go live your dream
I’ve heard the older ones aren’t reliable at all tho, is this tru ? Or is it only specific models ?
Legen wait for it Dary yeah man stay away from older BMW models, that’s why they’re only like $6,000 is because they are not built well early 2000’s along with Audi and Mercedes
@@heatstroke2022 what about a 2011 bmw 1 series
Raykwon Mcgee I’d stay away from that certain year and go for a 2015 or newer since that’s about when they are pretty solid for reliability
@@heatstroke2022 Thank you for the heads up man, as much as I love the look of bmws I’ll avoid them for now.
My first car was a Mustang GT no issue owning it and it was more fun to drive than my current CTS V

Well first real car I got after driving a Camry for about a year was a new Mustang they can be good for those responsible enough or have no over inflated egos.
Where did you live? Somewhere it doesn't snow i'm guessing.
Thanks for posting my bagged and boosted '18 S550! I daily it btw! :) 6:58
Slammed Stangs awesome car!
I may get one, how's the gas mileage?
I drive an 05 Mustang GT Premium in Manual.... well I'm wishing I saw this video sooner because I'm dead smack in the middle of that insurance hike age range and this IS my first car.
For anyone who is looking into getting a mustang, a couple things to note.
1) For the love of God, don't get your dream car as your first car. I can't sleep at night unless I'm within walking distance of it
2) The gas milage is terrible. Mine has a rune in it from the previous owner and despite my best efforts, nearly stock I cannot get it above 13.4 mpg. Mind you, I live in a city so there's plenty of stop and go. You will be getting hell every day at your entry level job and are expendable. Do yourself a favor and get a fuel efficient car so you can save up in case you get kicked out of your job
3) You are expected to race EVERYONE and if you don't already have mods on your car, you're seen as a poser.
I personally hate this, but it's still fun to race around with completely random strangers. Just know that if you drive a stick shift like me, you're at a disadvantage right out of the gates because most people (at least in my area) are driving boosted WRX's, 10 speed automatic Challengers, or some other fast car in automatic. If you are going up against a behemoth, know you will need to drop a gear before you will stand a chance of keeping up with them.
4) Don't drive a red car if you plan on racing in the street. Go for silver or white. No one will see you because you don't stand out.
This has been my personal experience shared with you all and I hope you can learn from it.
Welp, I recently got a Dodge Charger SXT AWD as my first car, and I can definitely agree with almost everything you’ve said here.
Monster Conrad Luckily it’s white, automatic, and AWD, so I’m not doing too bad for a start. Only problem is that it’s not modded and won’t be modded for quite some time, as I don’t have a job, and just started college. Can’t exactly afford to do anything to it right now.
@@notprefekt
I didn't know they came AWD, but stock is significantly more reliable so you definitely don't have to worry about a tune sucking up all your gas
I got a 2017 blue 2.0T camaro as my first car. As he says in the video about visuals or whatever you get used to it over time. I’ve been driving for less than a year and I’m completely use to it and love driving it. It comes with its perks but also comes with its downfalls. Gas is fine obviously since it’s just a 2.0 but still goes pretty well for being stock and all. But I get compliments and some crap too for it but I still love it and I agree with your list lol, also sucks when you have v8s pull up and you know you can’t stand a chance 😂
@@savagelax8108
Blue is a color that stands out. Careful when driving. Cops see you much sooner than they see the loud fart can Honda Civic in white. Learn from my mistakes. I've got 7 years to pay s Premium on my insurance for having a 100mph speeding ticket
Im about to get my first car. I got a 16k budget, any suggestions? So far on my list im debating on either G37 or BRZ/FRS/86
Seeing how you have a BRZ as your profile picture
i’m literally in the same scenario debating 2014 37 or BRZ, did you make a decision yet?
@@nickzaichuk7457 I got the 2016 BRZ. Had it for 4 months so far and I'm in love with it! I would choose the BRZ or 86 because the FRS has cheap plastic in the interior when I test drove one and I wasn't really fucking with it.
Everyones first car should be a complete beater...I wanted a 240sx SO BAD and STILL DO!!!
Kevin Krzywicki I got a 02 civic. Now I have a 91 Miata
I got a BRZ with 20K km's on it all paid in full LOL not a beater but about as fast as one
Phew, good thing a 2017 Mustang gt was my second car
“Mitsubishi eclipse” me- uhhh damn 😐 smh I fr just copped one last week 😭😭
Esteban Sanchez i own one, its not that bad.
I own one too, a 3G. It was really decent, until I was the one that beat it up a bit, but that's cause I knew I was going to build it. Other than that I had no problems until after I beat up on it.
Alex: Testosterone exists and you’ll probably do something stupid at the wrong time in a mustang
Me: Goes street drifting in the rain in my brand new mustang and hits curb 😢
Did that in a Gen Coupe 2.0T and almost hit a electrical pole....in a nearly empty parking lot
First car was a v6 mustang and it was great, now i have a GT and im in love with it
Gotta love a mustang
Yessir. I bought a 2014 when I turned 16 last year and I love it. I’m hoping to get a 2017 GT or a 2012 GT500 when I turn 18

1. Audi A4 1.9 TDI from 1996 with 450.000 km (280.000 miles) on the clock, from personal experience
Alex: Camaro, Subaru, Eclipse, 240sx, Mustang
Me: None of these are bad cars at all, or more expensive than any other depending on generation or style.
Sound Driven Official the title was "first car" as in the very first car you own. They're not saying they're necessarily bad cars. But to own as your very first car....arguably yes.
@@ryanadams9665 Dude I would love to have any of these as a first car.
Camaro - if its too expensive go with a different gen.
Subaru - Just keep the hp stock and headgaskets will be fine. Or get the ej20 and itll be fine.
Eclipse - just keep the hp stock and everything will be fine or get the fwd version and itll be fine
240SX - The most tunable and mod efficient car next to the Honda civic and supra.
Mustang - if its too expensive go with a different gen.
