*ALSO* Do not buy a Hyundai or Kia before the year of 2007. Before then, the engines were incredibly unreliable and had electrical issues. After 07 you should be fine though.

I'll be going for a Saab as my first car. Probably a 9-3 from let's say 2008.

Get something big like a truck or fullsize SUV since they'd be safer in an accident, I was recently in an accident in my fullsize blazer (t boned) and all I need is a new fender the other vehicle had to be towed and that was a small pickup. If I was in something small like any of the cars you are looking into it would've been totaled.

If I were you, I'd probably get something small and economic... like 1999 mini cooper (Mk 7 I believe). Found one for 6 grand, only 19.000 miles on the clock. The best part is that it still looks like a classic mini from the 60's. For my 2nd choice of cheap and cheerful car, I'd take the VW Golf Mk1 GTI. Still quite economic, quick, fun, classic. And it costs about the same as the mini. (Yes, I do like old classic hot hatches lol)

I can probably find a Honda CR-V for 14k (already have one but have found various for that price) which is more than affordable, so I'd go with that. If I want a CAR however I'd get a 2003 Renault Megane or a Mazda 3.

I sure wouldn't mind a '56 Ford Crown Victoria.. Fine car. As for modern, I hear the pre-1996 Volvo's are good.

For me, I'd have either a Volvo 242 turbo (1.6ltr/1600cc) or a Saab 9-3 Aero(similar specs to the Volvo). I like the Volvo more though
