Haha. Hahahaha. Hahahahahaha. You're having a laugh. In the UK, £3000 or something like $5000 is amazing for some of the cars on this list. And that's just the insurance.
Price of the cars in the list in my place: #5: 14000-20000$, very rare. #4: nearly non-existence, around 20000-50000$ for 2010+ model (sti and wrx not included). #3: n/a but there are polo and scirocco that is ~25000$ #2: there is no hatchback version, but the sedan (altis) are plenty ~15000$. #1: n/a on that model year, probably abandoned or scrapped. 2008 model year ~12000$.
A GTI as a first car🙄....my first car in 2008 was a 75hp golf mk4. I don't know the prices in US but here in germany a relatively good condition mk6 gti is about 5000- 10000€. I bought my mk4 for 1500€😋 first car is always gonna crash😅🤣
Well yeah, here only old non m beemers are cheap enthusiast cars. I am really jealous of Americans. They have so much to choose from and that also brings the prices down.
I mean gears and gasoline videos take much longer to produce so this has probalbly been in the works for a whole week while donut videos like d list probalbly dont take as long so its most likely just a coincidence and what does it really matter just more car videos to watch
Enthusiasts choice: corvette or camaro 4th gen, manual. Performance under 3k unrivalled. Unless u buy a 1000cc motorcycle lol. Look hard for a good one. Get a manual. Rear wheel drive, big roaring v8 with lots of potential decent fuel economy, reliable, durable and cheap parts, very simple. Other options include old chevy suburban or escalade, huge luxury value for money and very reliable. Some have bought them under 1k look it up in here. Or a cheap toyota/ lexus if u just don't care. Even a track prepped miata, but I wouldn't bother with one of them personally.
@Federal Bureau of Investigation I did get an ND Miata after selling the FC to a Rotary enthusiast who turned it into a track car later on. He was really nice and sent me photos of modifying the car, then even invited me to drive it but I was just too busy at that time. I miss that car a lot :(

I started out driving my dad’s ‘09 civic 5-speed manual and just got a ‘10 GTI Autobahn 6-speed manual as my first car. Loving every minute of owning it so far! Solid video and picks!
Driving a Civic gives a whole new meaning to 'Drive it like you stole it' lol. Also gonna acknowledge the misspelling of safety but not get on your case about it. Thanks for the video as always :)
I agree that civic is the best first car for anyone, super easy to work on, parts are cheap, the NA DOHC VTEC experience is really a must-try for anyone who hates Honda, too bad now it’s nearly impossible to find clean title and stock civic hatchbacks in the states😩
4:27 Source of the "Double Wishbone Suspension all-round"? I did a little research and it is macpherson strut in the front and multi-link in the rear....
I own a Miata, as my second car, and I’ve owned it for 2 years, and I honestly love it and its taught me so much, but I maybe would maybe I’d chose a GTI over it.
People often overlook the N/A Mazda 3 because of the Mazdaspeed, but the standard model is a really fun and practical little car, and it's really cheap to maintain. The first and second gens are basically a ford focus with a chassis tuned by the people who made the miata.
Hell yeah. I have one as my second car soon after having a first car because of a red light running idiot. Up until this point I had only driven toyotas and wow is it night and day with the Mazda 3 hatchback. Sure she's not as smooth or reliable as my old camry but damn is it fun and with enough torque to do burnouts easily. It might not be a mazdaspeed but it's still an amazing car
@@alexgrant6965 I'm not accusing them of plagiarism, this is a topic most car channels cover and I'm pretty sure the GnG guys are friendly with the Donut guys. They could notice the coincidence and ham it up a bit for the cameras though. :P
My first car was a manual Saab 9-5 2.3t and I can certainly say, if you just crave and desire a headache all the time then Saab is your best bet. That being said I loved everything about that car other than the reliability issues
bought a mk6 GTI for a second car, and i'm in love with it. as long as you take care of the timing chain and water pump, it's a fantastic car and you get a lot out of a stage 1 tune and air intake. it's just so fun to drive, even when it's emptying my wallet
Old corolla's are legit first cars. Reliable to thrash and Cheap if you crash. Second car can be everything you realise is missing in your first - whether it be more power or space or refinement.
I bought a '04 SAAB 9-5 aero Wagon with a 5 Speed manual and 250hp as my first car. Problably not the smartest thing I ever did, but man, this is a nice car and I love it.
Hyundai Veloster N hatch. Best performance daily for money. But can’t go wrong with ek civics too for super cheap. Miata is best first sports or track car along with used c5/6 vette. But best car for non enthusiasts is Prius or ioniq. 50+ MPG
Honestly if you want a reliable first car and im glad it was mentioned with a bit of pep and great around the backroads I would definitely recommend an Acura RSX Type S. Safe, has a really nice interior especially if its been somewhat taken cared of, easy to work on, plenty of parts and a huge aftermarket. Hell with full bolt ons and a good tune you might be able to keep up with a decent amount of cars out there(obviously its not a race car and there is a lot of cars that would beat it). The DC5 is an amazing platform.
I'm gonna get an unreliable car when I turn 16 just to learn to work on it I can always bike or skate to school, its only a mile. Edit: also Im gonna get a cheap car because nobody will hire anyone under 16
A little bit of a forgotten car: Saab 900, 9-3 and 9-5. Any turbo engine can be easily tuned to stage 1 220-230 hp, while being a practical, quiet, cruiser while the engine is quite reliable. Often, unfortunately like any other old car from an average person, a little neglected! And yes: I have the convertible and it steers like a boat, but it is great great fun!
Hmmmm Im gonna buy a subie wagon and build it into the cleanest looking wrx without the shitty looking end wagon bit Gonna chuck the good ol subie wing on her ... total cost 2-3 grand at least 😂😭🤣🇬🇧✌🏻
where are the Volvos at? Volvo 850 r is cheap, reliable, safe, and fast. there are a lot of Volvo models out there that are really good. and parts are easy to source.
you REALLY should have included the Volvo 240. i know this was on a poll, and it wouldnt go here anyways, but STILL. SUPER safe (literal tank), very fun to drive, sound cool if you do some exhaust mods, (im totally not saying this because i may be getting one soon) but they seriously are really fun and safe cars. and definitely fun to take on some chill road trips and is a good picture car. IDK i may be obsessing over Volvos but they really are good cars. My father owns a Volvo 245, almost ALL of the parts are still stock other than the suspension. He also owns a Volvo C30 R design, also a really good car. Has some mods, Blow off valve, (car comes with a T5 (inline 5 turbo)) coilovers, and some air intake stuff. and the car is a beast on mountain and back roads. and we cant forget the turbo blow-off sound- WWSSSCH im just surprised their wasn't a Volvo on the list. though i am happy the miata was included. Not a hate comment, just me talking about volvos for no reason- but nice vid!
Got a question for this, looking for first car with these in mind, Safe Reliable Possibly wagon or hatchback, I wanna go on roadtrip with friends Possibly modifiable. Interesting and 1,500 or below Also living in Europe, so no american cars Thanks

IDK i may be obsessing over Volvos but they really are good cars. My father owns a Volvo 245, almost ALL of the parts are still stock other than the suspension. He also owns a Volvo C30 R design, also a really good car. Has some mods, Blow off valve, (car comes with a T5 (inline 5 turbo)) coilovers, and some air intake stuff. and the car is a beast on mountain and back roads. and we cant forget the turbo blow-off sound- WWSSSCH im just surprised their wasn't a Volvo on the list. though i am happy the miata was included. Not a hate comment, just me talking about volvos for no reason- but nice vid!
The 240 is nice but it’s kinda big and thirsty
Tbh your first car even if its underpowered it will feel fast!!
pans away from the foresters and outback's and towards the wrx's
"so, if you buy a subaru you're gonna be ~hanging out with subaru people~ vaping.
Got a question for this, looking for first car with these in mind,
Safe
Reliable
Possibly wagon or hatchback, I wanna go on roadtrip with friends
Possibly modifiable.
Interesting and 1,500 or below
Also living in Europe, so no american cars
Thanks
how about a volvo?
Best first car would be a Saab turbo 2.0 in my opinion
