Daughters first car.

[churchmouse]

V6 . Not that brave lol

Not to scare you but these V-6 offering today will haul the mail. Buddy bought a V-6 Camaro and it is no punk.

Great car...sounds as she deserves it.

EDIT...Wow, sounds like a bit of jealousy in the ranks.

Lol a metro come on man and you calling that car ugly get real or just go away. Why be a hater ? Or as my daughter says your just jelly haha !

 

[KDUBCR250]

Always a couple in every crowd

Although I'm not a Mustang fan in the least, I can't make fun of it. It's certainly nicer than what I drive! If it were me I'd be a little concerned about buying it for a teenager. However, you know your daughter better than anyone else here. If you think she can handle the responsibility then good for her. And good for you for raising her to be responsible.

Sad some people would resort to trash talking a teenage girls first car. Make sure to take her to an abandon parking lot to do victory donuts!

 

[KDUBCR250]

Thanks for all the advise. She's more grown up than the average teenager but I'll still worry just like I did with my other 2. Haters gonna hate.

 

[mbills2223]

Guess not.

Very nice looking car. My girls are 11 and 13 right now so not much longer before I have to start thinking about something for them if they keep their grades up. Would I be a bad father if I was secretly hoping at least one of them does not?

I think that's normal

 

[KDUBCR250]

Totally normal.

Great first car there dad! One of the best (and safest) cars you could have bought for her. Enough ponies to give her the power to get out of the way, very good fuel economy, lots of rubber to grip the road and superb handling make for a very predictable handling environment...another safety feature. All of that in a beautiful package that has to have her smiling ear to ear.

My wife and I bought both our son and daughter their first cars. Our son got (he picked it out) a 1980 Formula 400 Firebird (with a '69 X code 400 hp engine), all around disc brakes, TH400 tranny, F1 suspension, and new Z rated Gator-Backs on all four corners. Our daughter chose a 1992 Camaro Z28/RS with T-tops, 350 (305 hp) full disc brakes, TH350, and here again, Z rated Gator-Backs. Our reasoning? Lots of metal to surround them in, plenty of hp to get them OUT of trouble if needed, great handling (to compensate for the idiots on the road), and plenty of whoa power.

We taught them how to drive them in rain, snow, and what the cars where capable of...they knew their cars inside out and became one with them. They are still today very responsible kids, and excellent drivers that drive with their heads outside the cockpit. Neither of them has ever (knock on wood) been in an accident when they where driving (only one for our daughter and she was a passenger).

Again OP, great choice for her first car. She sounds like a great daughter and one to be proud of...now just get her out in a big empty parking lot and show her what that Mustang is capable of doing to and for her.

I am completely over those F-bodies. I wish my parents would have bought me one!

My first car was a Honda, I'll always feel outdone

 

[04DarkShadowGT]

Saftey was a big thing plus the back seat is so small there shouldn't be much funny business going on back there. She's has to pay insurance and all upkeep. I'll donate labor for free. I know she will dent and scratch it but I felt she has earned it. My 1st was a 74 blazer that needed a tranny . We all want better for our kids.

As a guy who has owned four mustangs and getting his 5th next week, you would be surprised what you can do in those back seats.

One of my (girl) friends first car was a convertible '91 Mercury Capri

I still have nightmares riding around in one of those. Hers was green and turbo charged, she had to drop the top then take me out to the west side... Worst ride of my life.

 

[Boost Lee]

That's a good first car.

Big, spacious inside, still has that "so fast, so quick" effect on younger kids when in reality, it 's just a V6 in a 4,000lb car.

Good buy.

 

[danielocean03]

Very cool, good choice.

 

[mbills2223]

Very cool, good choice.

again.

leeme ramble here,


A great first car???

for a new teen driver???

Rear wheel drive, aww she will love how it handles in the winter with the ice, snow even a slight incline... she will LOVE it!!

Not to mention the Horse power that a new inexperienced driver does not need.
I hope she doesnt handle that 4000+ lb car like a compact honda, I could see it now, a quick jerk to the left without her signal swinging the fast, overweight car into a spin.

She can also look foward to that car's gas guzzling capabilities.

I know she will make her friends chip in on the 50$ in gas when driving across town, not to mention the $$$ insurance on a Mustang, a new one at that.




But she will look good driving it.



Perhaps ya should have bought her a Subaru STI instead



Nice buy though Im sure she is really happy and greatfull
Get good insurance, and pray she remains responsible and aware of other drivers and possibilities
