Honda CRV honestly doesn’t matter the safety ratings on the darn thing. It’s all up to the way you drive, because safety ratings aren’t going to dictate how you or other people drive.
Or anything that's cheap and fun really. BMW E36 is a great choice where I live- it's dirt cheap, parts are plentiful, there is huge aftermarket support, it's great for drift, rally, autocross, etc. and the gasoline engines are all very reliable, easy to work on and can handle big power gain with turbo or supercharger.
My car ownership history has basically been a staircase. My first car was a '90 Toyota Tercel that didn't even have a tach. My second car was a '91 Celica ST, my third car was an '02 Civic, and my fourth and current car is an '88 RX-7 convertible. I'm glad I had that progression because I now know so much about different cars handle and how they're set up

True story... Raced a 3.9 V6 Monte Carlo vs an older 3.8 s/c Monte. Gapped em by a door, both autos, from a dig. Later on that same night, rolled raced a Probe GT 5speed. It gapped me by a little more than a car. Rolled 3 other times and even a dig at a stop light. I even tried to tree it or run a little sooner to try and get an edge. Never got close to that Mazda V-6. Popped the hood and just saw a S.R.I. didn't even tune it . eventhough my Monte was stock I was taking out a lot of Hondas, Mustangs, Miatas, and Eclipses. If I ever get a chance to buy a cheap one with low miles, I'll sell my car and daily that instead.
As a newer car enthusiast 4yrs after the original posting, I do agree with the Mustang and Camaro inclusions, HOWEVER, the V6 versions. I have an older Mustang V6 that ive done some mods on, and i couldnt be happier knowing i have both a sporty car and something that doesnt break the bank when my throw-out bearing gives out or I need some maintenance. I defininitely get some (shiz) when i mention its a V6, but at the end of the day, i have a neat car that still has nice features like the manual transmission and a large modding community. Thanks Bladed.
who needs a sports car when you can get a mazda3??? all seriousness tho it’s a fun little car for daily driving and with a stick it’s fun as hell edit: for a 16 year old
ok but, i can't drive because of some things: I'm turning 16 but in my country we can only drive at 18, I'm kinda tall for a Miata, and idek if we have mazda in my country *sad teenage noises*
I bought my mazda 3 on the basis of "reliability first, sport second" and i couldnt regret it one bit. Ive never had it refuse to start on me in coldass Canadian winters, and with its 2.0L 4 Cylinder 6-speed its sportier than it looks. As the mantra goes; its more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. I have plans for her; such as a turbokit, cold air intate, tune, and select body mods, but even her still being stock.. her power sneaks up on me. Simply rowing thru the gears and by the time i reach my typical cruising gear of 4th, im exceeding the speed limit by 40KM. Thats not even factoring the amount of pure blooded TORTURE i put it through, (burnouts, clutch dumps, launches, And a lot of hard acceleration) it has held up beautifully. Mazda has won me over in build quality on the 3rd gen mazda 3 as any other grocery getter being put through the same level of stress, wouldve had something substantial break by now. I can highly reccomend it as a first car in general, wether you are an enthusiast or not. Itll get you where you need to go, and if you wanna have some fun, it will provide that too.
I got a 2014 Ford Fiesta as my first car. I'm a car guy and I especially like American muscle. A 1970 Dodge Challenger TA is my dream car. I'm a young guy with not very much money so I needed to get something that works, is good on fuel and is practical. I looked around and found the 14 Fiesta for 7k (I put a 2k down payment on it). A Fiesta isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think reliable but hey, it's got 80k miles, tires are good, oil is good, i checked everything, no problems at all. Of course I'm not gonna have it forever but it works, and that's what I need right now. My dream car can come later when I have the money for it. So yea, all I gotta say is, get something that works as a first car. You'll get a cooler car later, with time and experience.
As a 66 year-old who has learned from life experiences and the wisdom of others, unless money is no issue, NEVER buy a new car. Buy one 2 to 3 years old with low mileage and maintenance records.
Tech Explained: You were lucky, I learned this lesson the hard way in my late 20’s. When I was growing up, it wasn’t until the 70’s when carmakers stopped drastically altering exterior designs every year. Before then, a one-year old car could look “dated”...lol. After years of owning Honda’s and Acuras, in 2017 I bought a 2014 Impala LTZ (the great redesign). I have 46k on it and maintain it well. Other than badging, you cannot tell it apart from a 2020 model. Cheers!
i’m 19 and own a 2014 kia rio, 110bhp, 1.4L petrol, as long as you look after it any first car is a good choice, make your first car your own and mess around with it, this way by the time your mid twenties you can get your dream car and you will understand how to look after it :)
This was the best. I wanted the Ford Focus RS, but I went after the Ford Fiesta ST because of price. I think this was the best car list ever. Lol. The ending made me laugh.
I'll definitely recommend my first car: a 2010 Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI Quattro, not too fast; not to slow, it got all the stuff you'll find on most modern cars (automatic start/stop, parking sensors, LOTS of airbags) it is reliable and (mostly) affordable Drive save y'all :)
My first gen V70 for example is a brilliant starter car. It is reliable and frugal enough for young enthusiasts to not go bankrupt immediately, and there is a big aftermarket for replacement parts. (Tuning a bit less so, but you have options) But most importantly, it is challenging enough to drive so you will learn how to shift smoothly and judge its size. You will have no choice, because the steering and pedals are about as refined as a truck and the rest of it is not much smaller than one. But, it is also a forgiving and calm car. They are stable, conservative and surprisingly fun to drive once you get the hang of it. Ok, fine, I’ll mention it… they are safe. Their handling is already safe, but if you ever manage to overdo it, you will most likely be able to reel it back in. And if not… well… it’s a Volvo, you’ll be fine.
He mentioned the fiero lol, funny because I'm restoring one for my first car, the 2.8s are pretty solid, decent on gas, practicality is the greatest but the trunk is pretty deep, it's also pretty cool and decently sporty, as a young guy (not a young enthusiast, I've been around cars all my life and love them) I think it's perfect for me
Saw an S14 with an RB25DETT, tunes to have 519 HP, and it was about $3,000 and in my area. I watched it and it got bought by someone. SAW IT FREAKING DRIVE PAST US ON OUR ROADS
You just cant make a serious Car list video because its all in Personal preferences. You only can recommend a car that you think fits. Thats why I like this video
My first was a 2003 fiat stilo 1.9 diesel, hatchback of course and what i liked about it was that being yellow it stood out since in europe most cars have much more boring colors and i also liked the fact that i managed to learn a lot on it since i wasn't worried about something happening to it(it's still fine).
The car looks so fun. I'd love to own one myself but probably I'd use it as a drift car project cause it doesn't look too practical. Not enough money for two cars though and no place to legally drift for a cheap price.
Slightly late to the comment party. But I bought a 67 Firebird as my first car, and Bladed is completely right. I jumped in over my head, as my immediate family is not a long line of mechanics and drag racers from days of old. I have family members that were into cars when they were my age, but again not mechanics. So I jumped right in and got a classic, and immediately found myself in trouble when the engine spun a bearing 3 months after buying it. The best advice I can provide is to be prepared for the unexpected, and have a back up plan unlike I did. Luckily I was able to borrow a car to get through the months it took me to save up and get a new engine (built Pontiac 400), and I learned a whole lot on the way, but if I were to do it again I'd have definitely handled certain things differently. I love my car, and I wouldn't call it my nightmare car, but it was definitely close.
Aight well I feel like my first car choice is pretty solid then (a Nissan Altima 3.5 se from 2003) it's got good horsepower and enough reliability to be good even in today's standards, along with 23mpg that's pretty decent, would definitely recommend it to others
Honestly I started with a statesman and I had very quickly realised I didn’t know enough about it to do anything, here in aus the CE 2 door lancer was my next choice (yes the ce mirage series you have over there are specified differently here the coupe sedan is the lancer and the coupe hatch is the mirage) and the lancer was a huge help I had learnt so much that it had actually ended up in my getting my FTO (which I blew up and am trying to fix) so naturally I bought a blown CE mirage and because of the knowledge I gained from the lancer it allowed me and a mate to just swap the engine out entirely and I’m forever thankful. I can’t agree more START WITH SMOL!!!!
I have a 2005 Volvo s40 as my first car. I'm 22. It's not the most enthusiastic car. But it has a satisfying sounding 5 cylinder, sporty feeling manual gearbox (at least when comparing it to my friends little city cars ive driven), enough space for all my friends, good safety rating, and enough power to feel a kick into your seat. All that for a car that's going for less than a quarter of a new Renault Kwid here in South Africa.

@@Primus54 you don't need to be 66 to realize that my dad taught me that at 16 and well I drive a 16 year old car that runs on junkyard parts
Tech Explained: You were lucky, I learned this lesson the hard way in my late 20’s. When I was growing up, it wasn’t until the 70’s when carmakers stopped drastically altering exterior designs every year. Before then, a one-year old car could look “dated”...lol. After years of owning Honda’s and Acuras, in 2017 I bought a 2014 Impala LTZ (the great redesign). I have 46k on it and maintain it well. Other than badging, you cannot tell it apart from a 2020 model. Cheers!
this guy put my favorite car on the list, this video is great, its not nitpicky or biased at all
if the word REAL was a channel. love it!
5:52 Ah! Vector W8! Nice! I loved that car until Megatech acquired it and turned it into the M12 and dropped the horsepower figure by over 600 HP.
“...and if you’re a real big fan of Quirks and features a lil my Hero Academia...” 🤣
But Bladed, I watch list videos for helpful insight :(
i’m 19 and own a 2014 kia rio, 110bhp, 1.4L petrol, as long as you look after it any first car is a good choice, make your first car your own and mess around with it, this way by the time your mid twenties you can get your dream car and you will understand how to look after it :)
This was the best. I wanted the Ford Focus RS, but I went after the Ford Fiesta ST because of price. I think this was the best car list ever. Lol. The ending made me laugh.
I'll definitely recommend my first car: a 2010 Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI Quattro, not too fast; not to slow, it got all the stuff you'll find on most modern cars (automatic start/stop, parking sensors, LOTS of airbags) it is reliable and (mostly) affordable
Drive save y'all :)
2:35 is that a bass?
Davie504 must be triggered
Rainbow Marblezz OMG!
It’s a Guitar, it has 6 strings plus a whammy bar, basses don’t have whammy bars even on 6 strings
Skyler Hester Les Claypool had a 4 string bass with a whammy bar circa 1988
Rustinhimer 04 IIRC Claypool fit that bar in the bass himself, he didn’t buy it like that
Skyler Hester True but still

Here we see the wild Bladed Angel slowly start to lose his mind with each video he makes
My first gen V70 for example is a brilliant starter car.
It is reliable and frugal enough for young enthusiasts to not go bankrupt immediately, and there is a big aftermarket for replacement parts. (Tuning a bit less so, but you have options)
But most importantly, it is challenging enough to drive so you will learn how to shift smoothly and judge its size. You will have no choice, because the steering and pedals are about as refined as a truck and the rest of it is not much smaller than one.
But, it is also a forgiving and calm car. They are stable, conservative and surprisingly fun to drive once you get the hang of it.
Ok, fine, I’ll mention it… they are safe. Their handling is already safe, but if you ever manage to overdo it, you will most likely be able to reel it back in. And if not… well… it’s a Volvo, you’ll be fine.
Bladed angel "they already started a flame war in the comment"

He mentioned the fiero lol, funny because I'm restoring one for my first car, the 2.8s are pretty solid, decent on gas, practicality is the greatest but the trunk is pretty deep, it's also pretty cool and decently sporty, as a young guy (not a young enthusiast, I've been around cars all my life and love them) I think it's perfect for me
Saw an S14 with an RB25DETT, tunes to have 519 HP, and it was about $3,000 and in my area.
I watched it and it got bought by someone.
SAW IT FREAKING DRIVE PAST US ON OUR ROADS
You just cant make a serious Car list video because its all in Personal preferences. You only can recommend a car that you think fits. Thats why I like this video
I personally love the people who’s first car is a Boeing 747 I don’t get how they take it in cities and park or offroad.
My first was a 2003 fiat stilo 1.9 diesel, hatchback of course and what i liked about it was that being yellow it stood out since in europe most cars have much more boring colors and i also liked the fact that i managed to learn a lot on it since i wasn't worried about something happening to it(it's still fine).
My first car was (and is) a suzuki cappuccino
me and my brother are trying to restore it
Tim The Dim awesome choice. So much fun to work on and mod.
You should Hayabusa swap it
The car looks so fun. I'd love to own one myself but probably I'd use it as a drift car project cause it doesn't look too practical. Not enough money for two cars though and no place to legally drift for a cheap price.
@@christophervalerio3919 and if you have a craving for more power you Hayabusa swap it

In Malaysia there's a brand called Perodua sell brand new car that's called Axia like between RM20000 or $5000 for dollars.
First car was an Escape for the snow, just recently bought an SI cause I wanted to learn manual.
4:58 man so accurate you know what you’re doing I’m here for confirmation
Slightly late to the comment party. But I bought a 67 Firebird as my first car, and Bladed is completely right. I jumped in over my head, as my immediate family is not a long line of mechanics and drag racers from days of old. I have family members that were into cars when they were my age, but again not mechanics. So I jumped right in and got a classic, and immediately found myself in trouble when the engine spun a bearing 3 months after buying it. The best advice I can provide is to be prepared for the unexpected, and have a back up plan unlike I did. Luckily I was able to borrow a car to get through the months it took me to save up and get a new engine (built Pontiac 400), and I learned a whole lot on the way, but if I were to do it again I'd have definitely handled certain things differently. I love my car, and I wouldn't call it my nightmare car, but it was definitely close.
The one video from the car community that I feel safe in
3:20 man y u gotta do the stang like that 😂😂
Welp I bought an 87 escort as my first car. The thing is I’m trying to learn mechanics, and flip it. Oh well
Aight well I feel like my first car choice is pretty solid then (a Nissan Altima 3.5 se from 2003) it's got good horsepower and enough reliability to be good even in today's standards, along with 23mpg that's pretty decent, would definitely recommend it to others
really expensive insurance though...
@@xscalibur actually wasn't that bad, I think if I remember correctly it was around $102 - $120 a month?
Honestly I started with a statesman and I had very quickly realised I didn’t know enough about it to do anything, here in aus the CE 2 door lancer was my next choice (yes the ce mirage series you have over there are specified differently here the coupe sedan is the lancer and the coupe hatch is the mirage) and the lancer was a huge help I had learnt so much that it had actually ended up in my getting my FTO (which I blew up and am trying to fix) so naturally I bought a blown CE mirage and because of the knowledge I gained from the lancer it allowed me and a mate to just swap the engine out entirely and I’m forever thankful. I can’t agree more START WITH SMOL!!!!
I have a 2005 Volvo s40 as my first car. I'm 22. It's not the most enthusiastic car. But it has a satisfying sounding 5 cylinder, sporty feeling manual gearbox (at least when comparing it to my friends little city cars ive driven), enough space for all my friends, good safety rating, and enough power to feel a kick into your seat.
All that for a car that's going for less than a quarter of a new Renault Kwid here in South Africa.
