I watched this video at the age of 15, when it released, and it sparked an obsession in me with the c4 corvette. One year later, commenting on this video I am the proud owner of a 1994 c4 corvette with the manual transmission. Dreams can come true guys, all it takes is a bunch of hard work and diligent saving!
Same thing with me. I’ve had my 95 corvette 6speed for a year now (I’m 18) I love it but I don’t love looking on the 10 year old forums or trying to fit into tight spaces in the engine bay. But it’s worth it when you get to rip it around
Is your 350z Manual or automatic? Not auto shaming here, I am just curious. I typically only drive manual just because it means fewer trips to the shop, but that's not always accurate.
@@OGPea I drive a 1999 Mustang GT, my dad's been driving a 2001 Mustang GT since 2001, we live in Canada. Deep snow, slush, ice, black ice, rivers when it melts, etc. Never drove a 350z, but you can drive anything in snow. I got a boy who drives an NA miata year-round. The only thing is if they salt the roads it'll obviously eat away at your car. I have 2 New Edge's and thinking about getting a third, because I'd like to keep one my entire life and that's not possible driving year-round in Canada, so I keep one stored.

We love you homeboy, if you need a break take it man, we can tell you’re going through it, n that’s okay most of us are rightnow, go get yourself right my guy
My first car was a 95 sn95 with the 5.0. I but bigger cams, headers, intake, coil packs, MSD distributor, straight pipe with a single car out through the drive and passenger front wheels. Made just about 400 hp and was the best car I have ever owned
Guys isn't it obvious? He's a little emotional because he just finished filming the Up To Speed Episode on his dad! Jokes aside I hope everything is ok bro. We love you. If something is going on in your life you don't have to keep filming. Take some time for yourself!
Without knowing it this video picked out my exact first car: a 2004 330ci. And yes, it lives up to all expectations. Highly recommend and thank you Donut for aligning the stars to make my first car my favorite car
Would love to see “Best 2nd car”. Aka, you’re out of highschool; college student but you got a bit more cash in your piggy bank. Looking for a fun car that’s a bit more modern in safety and practical but still is a speedy boi

I know Americans are not very familiar with the car cult of old Europe, but driving an ocean liner as your first car is torture. If you want to get around comfortably with a few friends and be safe, take the train. Cars are made to feel the adrenaline as you drive on the limit and risk crashing, but that's the beauty of it, and that's the only reason why you do it. Get an old Yaris or some other wreck instead: you spend a lot less, pollute a lot less and have a lot more fun Edit.: I would also add that the Suburban is likely to be petrol-powered, which is a crime against humanity for vehicles of this kind: they are made to be propelled by a diesel engine, so that you can at least feel the power of the turbocharger; and the automatic gearbox is another thing that should never exist in a first car, but I know Americans do not particularly like automatic or sequential gearboxes
@@pe-peron8441 We can tell you are European because most Europeans don’t understand that the US has little to no transportation except in a few big cities. We all have to drive everywhere.
As an sn95 owner, I SAY THAT ITS GREAT FIRST CAR!!! It has its weird quirks like the gas kill switch in the trunk, the HEAVY ass clutch (compared to bmws, MB, etc) and etc. The car is pretty slow but it’s pretty easy to make orettt fast !! It also does burnouts and drifts very very easily too!
I got my GT86 a few days ago. Very happy with it. Reliable fun at reasonable speeds with cheap tyres and brakes. Also great fuel economy for a sports car, not to mention the fantastic looks and massive aftermarket. Highly recommended 10/10 would buy again. I know they can be a bit pricey for a first car but if you can afford it, you can't go wrong with a BRZ or a 86
@Flat knees Playz Its free real estate laughs in noises go brr so you have chosen death im boutta end this mans whole career durrrrrr maymay coommintz r fun.e
@Hunter Gaming i love that car but it's 22 years old and is the most frequently stolen véhicule. I would go with a 2005 si, if you are on a budget. You'll get more hp and more room in the rear seats
@@spinnmotion9704 Not true. Title would only say "1996 Chevrolet". Old car. Cheap insurance. Insurance companies don't really charge based on what it is if it's old. If you tell them how much you paid or the miles, then you messed up. If you're making payments, you basically have no choice but to pay full coverage. Most of the time, it's required. When you're getting insurance on an old car say like a 79 Camaro ("1979 Chevrolet"), just be like "yehh It works sometimes. It's a real beater. Just gonna drive it locally down to barber every couple weeks." On my '68 Pontiac which wasn't even running yet, I told them how much I paid for it and the miles were 38,000, and they were charging me over 300 a month and it wasn't even full coverage. Big mistake.
My first car was a 2003 G35 sedan 6-speed. Picked it up for $6k with some miles on it. Pros: 260-280hp, one of the best sounding engines ever made, rear-wheel drive, optional 6-speed manual, sedans have great insurance rates, room for more than one friend, decent safety ratings, Nissan parts are abundant, big trunk for woofing sound system Cons: No pop-up headlights
My first car was a 1980 1.4l chevy chevette with 52hp and 4 gears! Now that I finnished paying the installments I can finally save up for the transfer fees!
James is fucking killing it right now okay? Don’t try to slow him down with the “oh I’m worried for you baby” bullshit. James, if you can hear me.. I love you
Well here we are, been watching for a few years now and boys, it happened, I bought my first car, it’s a 1988 Toyota supra. It’s an automatic and is n/a but for what I paid for was definitely worth it. Obviously it’s not the smartest choice of a first car I know that already. I just wanted to say thank you donut for getting me in to cars this wouldn’t of happened without you guys.
Ohhhhhh, did I want one of these back in the day! Wait, I still want one. My 2nd car was I think probably the closest analog of the time, an 85' 300ZX (bought around '96), first car being an 85' Honda CR-X, oh yes, Si (both manual). I would have traded the Z for a Supra in a second though. It is a bit too bad that it's an auto, but you can still have fun with it, and it's still a cool ass car. I say well done son.
My first car was a Black 2013 Suziki Swift Sport. Was deam fun in corners. And you had to work the gears to go fast. Fun gokart. And cheep to maintain.
I'm almost positive he is beyond tired of these shaved James comments lol. 99 percent of them are about his beard and 1 maybe actually about the video.
My first car was a 1 liter Seat Arosa (prefacelift btw.). The car cost £900, the insurance cost £2500. Madness. Had the little shit lowered so low it bottomed out on potholes. Fails it's not, turned out the whole underside was fucked and dead hahaha.
Insurance for is expensive everywhere in the world. I pay 2600 euros a year for full possible international coverage on 2017 audi s8 and I am 22 years old. Tried to insure my 991 911 GTS in germany and it was like 7000 euros a year and in my country it was 3200 euros a year with even better insurance. So yeah everywhere else is expensive for me.
@@Chromastoma I mean part of the problem is your age, and the type of car your using as an example. It wouldn't ever be cheap for someone your age, anywhere, ever.
my parent had bought me an accord as my first car and i have to say that it isnt fast but you can still have fun with it. I got it before I was into cars but as soon as i started driving, i realized that I have a passion for it. Not only that but if you know how to drive it well then some people would think you have a turbo even though its stock.
I’m proud to boast that my first car was a 1988 Corvette, baby. Also managed to buy a 2002 WRX wagon that same week. …I had been saving up for a while. Really proud of my determination, got to experience two vastly different driving styles and eras at a young age.
dad still has his ‘06 sequoia and the only problem is that the electric locking mechanism on the left door doesn’t work. that’s it. drives it every day.
My 07 EL Eddie Bauer only has 120k but she's a champ. Threw a level kit on it, f150 20s with Wranglers, and an insane sound system. My 04 got up to 140k before it was totaled, my 99 did 250k before I sold it and my 01 did 175k before I sold it
@@johnlarsen7068 depending on the country. Shipping to Europe isn't cheap, but it's nothing compared to the tax and stuff you pay to make it legal. F.e. in Hungary the VAT is 27%. So, you buy a Corvette for 5K, then shipping, another 2K (just a random number, might be more), then VAT 1,5K, customs, another 1-2K. Plus the fact you bought a car you never saw or tried, and parts here are next to none. The few you may find is the price of a car.
Same and its 400k liras in turkey there is 3 on a site its rear in turkey it seems and my dads wage is 5k :DDDDDDD which means i wont afford to buy a car until I am 30 a car 20k$ on america is generally 250k liras on turkey 😔 u are lucky to be in norway i wish i was in norway
Curiously, reading what you have written, made me remember that I feel almost the same. I get sad when the nostalgia from cars at their times pop in my mind.
I needed this. I am 14 and am planning to start saving for a fun, affordable and rather beginner tuner-friendly first car. My parents think it is unbelievable to think about the fact in 2 years I’m going to be driving full size vehicles.
Donut Media: The Corvette C4 is a good first car Me: Yeah, I kinda agree My 2006 Corolla: You sure bro? check your wallet. You cant even afford my maintenance
C4 corvette was my first car. I fixed it up, 6spd manual for 5k. Convertible, green and was is still fast. I now own another. I will always remember the first day i tamed that car.
I didn't have a car till I was 19. I had saved up a tiny bit of money but I spent it on a guitar and amp, because my buddy had a 70 Chevelle for his first car. I would rather sit as a passenger in his car than most cars I could afford. I did finally get a 1996 Dodge Intrepid (3.0 V6). Had it for about 8 years, it was pretty fun (for me), but I don't recommend anyone own one longer than 4 years, because the suspension goes to trash and replacing it will cost about half what the car is worth.
My man had a 12 hour heart attack and that wasn’t the first time he had one. Get well bruh! Please take your time with recovery, your people have been holding it down
A+ broski! u can't beat a good panther body. Most comfortable car I've ever rode in. You don't feel potholes as long as the air suspension is in good shape
Congrats. I sold my 2011 Towncar last year and bought a 2013 Prius. It's a plug in hybrid and my commute to work is short so I haven't had to purchase fuel in months now. In legitimately was mad that fuel prices tanked because I couldn't take advantage of it. Prius guy problems. I also put a bumper sticker that says I used to be cool on the back since I used to have a C6 Z06 Vette about 10 years ago. My friends think I've lost my mind. I'll likely be getting a Tesla P90D soon as well. 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds.
"what if you have a Miata and more than one friend" Pff James doesn't realise, you can't have friends AND a Miata, it's either the one or the other, there's no in betweem
@@SuubiVII hardtop don't need it. I daily drove one for like 4 years part of that was in Oregon and I had a baby. Now 7 years later it sits in the garage. It's let me down twice in that much time and i beat on it. First was when I got it the radiator cracked but it was 13 years old and the second when I blew a fuse and it wouldn't start. Easy jobs. 2000 Miata.
MY dad got the 2004 honda accord when it came out, 500k+ miles later, still hasn't broken down, this is one of, if not THE MOST reliable car you can buy
I own a MK4 Golf GTI and James is right its super reliable, I have driven it over a million kilometers and till this day, he's still running, FUN too, The turbo makes it all the more exciting and more pleasing to drive. Show it love and it will love you too.
I remember my first car, it was an '03 Civic Coupe. Wrecked the poor thing on a drive to college at one of the worst designed left turn intersections I've ever seen. Now it's probably crushed up in a cube somewhere in car hell. My second car was a nearly identical '04 Civic Sedan. I drove that car until basically the wheels fell off. It's still on the road actually and someone I know drives it now, of course it had to be fixed up a bunch. Now I drive an '11 Accord Coupe, and I like it a lot. Big jump in power from my two Civics since it's got a 3.5L V6, so it pulls pretty nicely. It feels kinda unique because newer Accords no longer come in coupe configurations. I'll probably drive it until the wheels fall off too which'll probably be a long time because Honda.
As a e46 owner (although i have a 325ci) I cannot stress enough how fun they are to drive, just make sure your subframe mounts are in check and make sure you do a cooling system overhaul and it'll take anything you throw at it

I got my GT86 a few days ago. Very happy with it. Reliable fun at reasonable speeds with cheap tyres and brakes. Also great fuel economy for a sports car, not to mention the fantastic looks and massive aftermarket. Highly recommended 10/10 would buy again.
I know they can be a bit pricey for a first car but if you can afford it, you can't go wrong with a BRZ or a 86

Just started driving my dad's old 99 Jetta VR6 after getting my license, we did a bunch of work to get it running and I love it
Honestly looking into a c4. Parents are okay with literally anything if it has airbags. So anything after 85’ lol 😂
Get a 04 c5
Dude same
Don’t forget about insurance on a c4 if it’s your first car after you get your license insurance can be up to 400-500$ a month
C5 vette, 1997-2004.
Around 9k+.
C4s are just like 3rd gen Camaros. It's obvious to just not buy those. Very ugly and weak
@@spinnmotion9704 Not true. Title would only say "1996 Chevrolet". Old car. Cheap insurance. Insurance companies don't really charge based on what it is if it's old.
If you tell them how much you paid or the miles, then you messed up.
If you're making payments, you basically have no choice but to pay full coverage. Most of the time, it's required.
When you're getting insurance on an old car say like a 79 Camaro ("1979 Chevrolet"), just be like "yehh It works sometimes. It's a real beater. Just gonna drive it locally down to barber every couple weeks."
On my '68 Pontiac which wasn't even running yet, I told them how much I paid for it and the miles were 38,000, and they were charging me over 300 a month and it wasn't even full coverage. Big mistake.

James at home:
My first car was a 94 accord... totaled it twice and it still ran great. Love that car..
Hey James, Whatever you’re going through we’re here for you!! Mowwpawaaa baebhe!!!
My first car was a 2003 G35 sedan 6-speed. Picked it up for $6k with some miles on it.
Pros:
260-280hp, one of the best sounding engines ever made, rear-wheel drive, optional 6-speed manual, sedans have great insurance rates, room for more than one friend, decent safety ratings, Nissan parts are abundant, big trunk for woofing sound system
Cons:
No pop-up headlights
That’s the problem with all cars now
2nd con: 4 doors
My first car ( i still own it) was an e34 m5. Bought it used for 10k with some miles on it. Tuned it and modded it to 489hp.
@@surfalcatraz9770 lucky basterd I wish I could get a m5 as my first car

Well here we are, been watching for a few years now and boys, it happened, I bought my first car, it’s a 1988 Toyota supra. It’s an automatic and is n/a but for what I paid for was definitely worth it. Obviously it’s not the smartest choice of a first car I know that already. I just wanted to say thank you donut for getting me in to cars this wouldn’t of happened without you guys.

Ohhhhhh, did I want one of these back in the day! Wait, I still want one. My 2nd car was I think probably the closest analog of the time, an 85' 300ZX (bought around '96), first car being an 85' Honda CR-X, oh yes, Si (both manual). I would have traded the Z for a Supra in a second though. It is a bit too bad that it's an auto, but you can still have fun with it, and it's still a cool ass car. I say well done son.

I can’t imagine trying to get insured on anything this cool in the UK...
That's what I was thinking, the cars are cheap but the insurance definitely isn't. USA must have cheap insurance
Trust me bro I’ve got a 1.6 and it costs me 6k a year to insure it’s fucked
My first car was a 1 liter Seat Arosa (prefacelift btw.). The car cost £900, the insurance cost £2500. Madness. Had the little shit lowered so low it bottomed out on potholes. Fails it's not, turned out the whole underside was fucked and dead hahaha.
Insurance for is expensive everywhere in the world. I pay 2600 euros a year for full possible international coverage on 2017 audi s8 and I am 22 years old. Tried to insure my 991 911 GTS in germany and it was like 7000 euros a year and in my country it was 3200 euros a year with even better insurance. So yeah everywhere else is expensive for me.

@Freezy Lizard bit weird m8
my parent had bought me an accord as my first car and i have to say that it isnt fast but you can still have fun with it. I got it before I was into cars but as soon as i started driving, i realized that I have a passion for it. Not only that but if you know how to drive it well then some people would think you have a turbo even though its stock.

The beard
Best first car: handed down family suv, 08 Ford Expedition that’s an absolute animal and refuses to quit, with 253k miles and still cookin
I had the same thing
dad still has his ‘06 sequoia and the only problem is that the electric locking mechanism on the left door doesn’t work. that’s it. drives it every day.
stagenine only thing that doesn’t work on mine too is the power lock on the drivers door
My 07 EL Eddie Bauer only has 120k but she's a champ. Threw a level kit on it, f150 20s with Wranglers, and an insane sound system. My 04 got up to 140k before it was totaled, my 99 did 250k before I sold it and my 01 did 175k before I sold it
I had a 04 xlt with the 5.4. I totaled it but it was one of the best cars ever.

I was getting excited about the c4 but, then I remembered that I live in Norway and that it goes for 30 000 to 50 000$ here 🥲
Same. I live in Spain
same in Hungary, but it's still the cheapest Corvette. The C3 Stingray is a classic, the new ones are, well, new and expensive.
You might be able to import one for less than that, find a clean C4 for $5000 and import it. I can't imagine importing costing more than a few grand
@@johnlarsen7068 depending on the country. Shipping to Europe isn't cheap, but it's nothing compared to the tax and stuff you pay to make it legal. F.e. in Hungary the VAT is 27%. So, you buy a Corvette for 5K, then shipping, another 2K (just a random number, might be more), then VAT 1,5K, customs, another 1-2K. Plus the fact you bought a car you never saw or tried, and parts here are next to none. The few you may find is the price of a car.
Same and its 400k liras in turkey there is 3 on a site its rear in turkey it seems and my dads wage is 5k :DDDDDDD which means i wont afford to buy a car until I am 30 a car 20k$ on america is generally 250k liras on turkey 😔 u are lucky to be in norway i wish i was in norway

nice i bought my first car this year too, 2002 Nissan Altima with a 5 speed manual.
Same, I bought a 1997 Starlet
I didn't have a car till I was 19. I had saved up a tiny bit of money but I spent it on a guitar and amp, because my buddy had a 70 Chevelle for his first car. I would rather sit as a passenger in his car than most cars I could afford. I did finally get a 1996 Dodge Intrepid (3.0 V6). Had it for about 8 years, it was pretty fun (for me), but I don't recommend anyone own one longer than 4 years, because the suspension goes to trash and replacing it will cost about half what the car is worth.

I own a MK4 Golf GTI and James is right its super reliable, I have driven it over a million kilometers and till this day, he's still running, FUN too, The turbo makes it all the more exciting and more pleasing to drive. Show it love and it will love you too.
I remember my first car, it was an '03 Civic Coupe. Wrecked the poor thing on a drive to college at one of the worst designed left turn intersections I've ever seen. Now it's probably crushed up in a cube somewhere in car hell.
My second car was a nearly identical '04 Civic Sedan. I drove that car until basically the wheels fell off. It's still on the road actually and someone I know drives it now, of course it had to be fixed up a bunch.
Now I drive an '11 Accord Coupe, and I like it a lot. Big jump in power from my two Civics since it's got a 3.5L V6, so it pulls pretty nicely. It feels kinda unique because newer Accords no longer come in coupe configurations. I'll probably drive it until the wheels fall off too which'll probably be a long time because Honda.
Must be real nice being able to afford brand new luxury cars and all but unfortunately its not a reality for 99% of the people.
