Accidentally? I found that in High School parking lots there are less accidents and more intentional damage done to cars that other students couldn't afford. Get a used car but keep a photo of your Dad's car in your locker to show the ladies. Actually, you could probably get an entire full size mattress in the back of a Ford Taurus Wagon - try that with the Cayman.

Honda fit. IMO it would be a great starter car. I'm planning to get my son a the fit. I'll let him mod it out too!

Ok now. We were all 16 once and let me say this...if my parents were willing to buy me a car like the Z, I would have taken it in a heart beat no second thoughts. So don't hammer this kid it ain't his fault. Also if I am making the kind of money where I could go out and buy my kids a car like the Z when they are 16 I would consider it after a time with a break in car maybe as a grad present. But don't hate them because they have $30k to invest in a 16 yr old driver.

Yeah, those are the kids that are born with the Silver Spoon up their As$ess' and don't appreciate working to earn a damn thing.

They will never learn to appreciate a car or anything since everything is giving to them.

Even if I could my kid is not getting a sport car, not even close. Study, work and learn how to earn what you want!

Thats ********, Jose. I was born with a silver spoon up my *** and have appreciated all my cars... The ones my parents bought me or the ones i have worked hard to buy myself... It doesn't matter. I appreciate them all the same.

To the OP... The Z will be fine if you aren't an idiot. All of us were 16 once and know all the stupid crap we've done. If you get a car like the Z you literally have to survive, because you will do stupid **** and the Z is not a forgiving car for an idiot. Just keep that in mind... If you want to live, don't be an idiot.

I hope for the sake of humanity that your parents get some sense knocked into them.

Also, when i was 17 i had a car that was quicker than my Z. I had some close calls but I survived. I didn't feel like I had really matured as a driver until I turned 18. By 21-22 I really started thinking about how stupid I was as a kid... And now at 25 and out of college I feel old and drive like a freaking grandma and make mean faces at kids in elevators.

not a good car for a 16 yr old because you can't drive your friends around with it.
it only has 2 seats

When you get to my age you'll start dropping the "these kids today" bomb and you won't even realize you started doing it.
