What are the best cars for a 16 year old first car? I want something cute of course but something safe and has a reasonable price too. New or used doesn't matter. All I can come up with are PT Cruiser and an Accord

Skip the PT Cruiser. They maybe cute but their built on top of the little unreliable Neon chassis. Although not as "cute" the Toyota Camry is more reliable than the Honda.

Twizz baby! Get an Accord, you cant lose. Keep in mind that even though you have your license you are still "learning" to drive and will scratch and bump it up (if some else doesn't do it for ya!) so don't spend big dough on it. The Accord comes in coupe, sedan or wagon. They are pretty bullet proof for the first 100,000 miles and after that if you keep up on the maint. you can get 250,000 miles! Just KEEP THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Best wishes hun !

I would go honda over chrysler. for your first car, Toyota sr5 or cellica are nice too. Another look would be a mustang or a chevy calivier convetible or even a used scion. it depends on how much you have to spend. what ever you choose have it checked before you buy it and run the id number through car fax or auto check.

The Honda Civic has been a top favorite for teens for a number of years. It's reliable, inexpensive to operate, relatively cheap to insure, performs well, holds its resale value, and looks good.
