I suggest a 91-up Jeep Cherokee. I had a 91 as my first car, and it was great. Cheap to fix, plenty of room to do work on it. In other words, its really easy to start learning how to work on a car on, its a tough car, the I6 engine in it is plenty strong. Youll definitely have fun with it, and enjoying seat time more than downtime. [unlike the supra]

wow.. If youre trying to get something unique for your FIRST car.. and your suggestions have been eclipse, and a camaro? are you being serious right now? lol youre definitely trolling.

You sound like you'd be right at home with a 240sx, with a missing rear bumper, and dented fenders from a kid trying to learn how to drift right after getting his license.

IMO, your first car should be a small econo-box. Corolla, Civic, Sentra, etc. If you crash it, its not that big of a deal, and you can keep it as a Daily Driver when you eventually get a 'fun' car.

Settle down, now. People are trying to help you out, whether you like their suggestions or not.

Steven89, no need to bash him with the 240 comment, lets try to stay positive people!

Nah, he really is just trolling.

Supralover2 - get whatever you want, because youre obviously not open to suggestions.

Perhaps if he really wanted help, hed say what he liked and didnt like out of all the ones he HAS looked at.

simply saying , i dont like civic/miata does NOT get you anywhere...

Nah, but really though. I would ACTUALLY recommend a 240sx [because you can pretty much swap/do anything you want with it] or something in the Mazdaspeed world [like a mazdaspeed protege, mazdaspeed 3, mazdaspeed 6. if you can afford any of those. I was seriously looking at the mazdaspeed protege for a while, just looks like a fun lil FWD turbo car.

These recommendations are because you seem to reject "normal, honest daily drivers".
