i'm looking to buy my first car soon =D
i kind of want a new one, but a cheap one. maybe like $12,000 or under. i will buy a used one as long as it only has about 50,000 miles or so...and it's a newer model, like a 2003 or later. i've done some research and i've come up with a few cars that i might want. but i really don't know much about cars, so could anyone help me? which car is the best running, lasts the longest, most safe, etc. i'm not using this to race or anything so i don't care if it doesn't go fast. and i'm planning on taking care of it. yes, i'm only 16 but i take care of my stuff, especially since i'm buying this on my own. so don't tell me to get the cheapest car because i'll crash it anyway =D
chevy aveo (new 2006 for like $12,000)
chevy cavalier
honda civic
scion tC
kia sorento
also which one should i stay far away from?

chevy aveo (new 2006 for like $12,000), only you get one very cheap
chevy cavalier don't pay more than 6k for an used one
honda civic take care of cars who has been raced, good but a new one is expensive
scion tC this is a toy car, not very safe
kia sorento expensive on gas, not reliable.
What about a Pontiac Vibe or a Corolla.

First, here are some things you should know. A car being more that 4 years old or having more than 50,000 miles does not make it a bad car. Plenty of $500 cars with 230,000 miles from 1982 are a better deal than anything new
Stay away from the Aveo and Kia, they are both made in Korea. The Cavalier is American made, but no better in quality. The Civic and Scion (Toyota) are high quality cars, either would be a good car for someone like you.

Cavalier or Cobalt, Same thing, they are ok. I wouldnt buy one used though. The Civic or tC are pretty much bulletproof depending on how they where taken care of if you buy used. I would stay far far away from KIA. I would stay try to stretch a little bit and buy new, put every penny you can towards it and finance the difference, then stick with Honda or Scion(toyota). Hope this helps!

The Cavalier and Aveo will be the best choice. If you want better gas mileage and a cheaper cost, go for the Aveo. If you want more space and better performance, go for the Cavalier.

Gotta go with Honda hands down. Honda, Acura, etc. the Japanese cars are most reliable in the car industry and they seem to have the least amount of problems over any other manufacture such as Ford, BMW, Audi, etc.

Stay away from the Kia.sorry, but they dont have good reps. Its a tie between the Civic and the TC. I'd maybe say the TC by half a point.

Saturns are pretty cheap at most places and are very good on gas.
