WOW,
40,000 dollars for a college stundents car.... There are over 112 models to choose from...
You should be able to find many used cars for 7500 to 15000 that will get the job done...
If your set on new.. Look at reliability, Fuel Mileage, and SIZE parking at most college's is tough in itself...
List of New cars to look at under 28K
VW GTI or new Rabbit
Mercedes-Benz : C-Class C230 SPORT
BMW : X3 2.5i AWD
2004 BMW : 3-Series 325Ci

Don't you think you want to buy your kid a reliable car instead of wasting money on a sport car? That could be extra money for your kid's tuition. But if you have to buy the kid a car that would most likely get wrecked, buy a Ford Mustang. It's a sports car and you can get the option of picking a convertible. It's probably no more than $23,000, if it's a bottom-of-the-line model.

You have a great number of choices, new or used. A sensible choice. Scion tC or Acura RSX, CIVIC Coupe, Nissan 350Z, Corolla Sport, Mazda 5-Miata, Solstice, Mini Cooper, BMW 3 series, or Lexus IS 350, boxter, Honda S2000. If money is not a concern, S2000. Have fun.. just remember that there are insurance which can be very expensive for a sports vehicle and a teen. Good luck and have fun..

None. A teen entering college should not even have any kind of car. They are a distraction. Without cars, freshmen are grounded and are therefore more likely to spend time on studies, rather than running around with the top down.
I had a convertible when I was in college. I wish now that I did not.

No no longer truly. A activities automobile is a automobile that has a respectable quantity of horse means compared to its weight. as an party a VW Beetle isn't a activities automobile besides the actual undeniable actuality that you'll get it in a convertible!

Good bang for the buck = Mazda Speed 3.
264HP, Hid Headlights, Led Taillights, Limited Slip Differential, TCS, 6 speed short throw shifter... the list goes on.
All for only 22k.
Should at least be worth checking out.

A Subaru WRX STI is a wonderful choice. Or, if you'd like all the power, with a bit more class, get a BMW M3. The BMW will out perform the subaru definately.

New or used? A true sports car, one that will do many things well (in competition and on the street)hands down, no equal, is a Z06 Corvette. Refined and brutal in one package. '01 $25k , another choice is a S2000 from Honda, over-engineered in many places, bullet proof in others, fun too.

The BMW-M3 would be my choice. It's a sporty, classy car suitable for your son's age and in the price range you mentioned.
