when i graduated college (long time ago), i bought my own car. that's how it was long time ago...

u could always buy him his own 370z

I agree with the Sentra. Not sure what the price range is on the sporty Sentra, but it got a good review from a member here on the boards as his daily driver.

Ninja edit: They appear to be a bit more expensive than the Versa.

A good idea would be to let us know what the price range is. Go with the competition and buy a Gen Coupe? :P

Whatever you pay extra for the Honda Fit you will more than get back in resale when you go to get rid of it. It is the class leader for a reason.

I dunno about you guys but I've always been a fan of the Toyota Yaris hatch coupe. Not exactly the most manly car but I like it for some reason. IMO Yaris>Fit>Versa haha. Plus Toyota's got good incentives goin on....

My parents got me a Scion tC for graduation. Those are pretty cool. :)

He could wrap any car around a tree...teach him responsibility and get him a car he likes and you guys can afford!

No to the versa and no to the sentra, yes to the Cube, F'in love it and its cheap.

if you're a chick.

Car's don't determine your gender. x) Sorry.

When i graduated, i was given the option of buying a new car under $18k of my choice or wait it out until the end of college and have any car under $35k.

Whatever you do avoid CVT, my sis has an Altima. Altima with a CVT is crap. Id say a Civic (because they are economical and last a really long time like mine, 225,000 miles and still going) or Honda Fit (they are really zippy little cars!). Id get an altima only if its a manual. Personally i wouldnt be caught dead in Versa, maybe a sentra.

I enjoyed the CVT in a 2010 Altima coupe I got to drive for a week or so. Not sure why people dislike it so much.

And sorry Red, that Cube is fugly. :roflpuke2:

you say fugly, I say trendy :tup:

Honda fit over anything else. That thing is such an awesome little car. Your son will actually make that extra 2k you spent on it owning the fit for a few years. You will not regret it.
