so im starting to look for my first car and need some help! i basically know what i want… but need some recommendations.
what i want in my car:
-suv
-good mileage
-sporty looking (like xterra…)
not too specific. i was previously set on the xterra but found out it doesnt have great mileage for an suv. i dont want a small car or sedan so dont bother suggesting that. what are some good, fuel saving suvs (if that combination even exists) ha.
money is not an issue btw..
sorry, thats confusing i guess. money isnt an issue for purchasing the car, because my parents are paying, but i have to pay for gas, which is why i would like it to be as fuel efficient as possible

I am 14, so I will own a car in about 3 or 4 years, but I getting serous about saving for a vehicular device. So far I’ve been looking at the 2009 Mini Cooper JCW hardtop (engine: 1.6L I4; horsepower: 208 @ 6,000rpm; torque: 192 ft-lbs @ 1850rpm; curb weight: 2,701lbs) and the 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Coupe (engine: 2.0L I4; horsepower: 260 @ 5,300rpm; torque: 260 ft-lbs @ 2,000rpm; curb weight: 2,926lbs).
According to their 2004 counterparts (2005 for the Cobalt – no 2004 model), the Cobalt should be about $9,000 when I buy, and the Mini should be about $13,000.
So I’m looking for a fuel-efficient car (30-ish mpg?) with some power that is in the $10,000ish range at the time of purchase.

I don’t know the size of the rims so if maybe someone could tell me that, would be awesome!
Also, here are the rims that i think are very stylish in my eyes and are also in my budget. But i don’t know if these would fit on this car. here’s the link:
http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rims/RUFF%20RACING-R350-Black%20Gloss.html
and while i was looking at the checkout looking at shipping prices, i saw all this extra stuff. for example, is the warranty worth buying ? i think so, cause you never know what might happen. Also tire locks, like they said it is to make sure your rims don’t get stolen. Should i buy that? and also the chrom hubcaps, obviously i need to buy those. so im just wondering if i should by the tire locks and if the warranty is worth it?
Thank you all very much!

Hi everyone.
I’m looking for my first car and have narrowed my search to four different vehicles. Please don’t post stuff deriving my character. I’ve been saving for the past 6 years and made about $4,000 a year. I’ve been working hard for this day and I want to know which one will be the hit of the school well still being a safe, and reasonably reliable vehicle.
PS Gas consumption isn’t a top priority-my dad owns a local gas company so I kinda get…free gasoline… Insurance is a small priority. My parents said they would pay for it, but I don’t want to be outrageous, for their sake. Also, repairs/service bills is a concern. My dads company does mechanic work and can do some work on bmws and benzes (oil changes, basic stuff) but most stuff will have to be done by the dealer. Also, theres a BMW dealer 5 min from my house but the benz dealer is an hour away.

Which major automaker will be the first to conceive and then build a car that could save the planet?
It could be built right now:
Its frame and body would be made of carbon-fibre (5 times lighter and stronger than steel; therefore also safer) its engine would be a flex-fuel (gasoline/ethanol) hybrid with plug-in (household recharge) capability and a much larger battery than any hybrids have today and it would incorporate solar cells across its horizontal surfaces to allow battery-recharging whenever/wherever it was parked in the sun.
Such a car would allow commuters to cover over 100-miles, round-trip, every day on its batteries alone, generating absolutely no greenhouse gasses in the process, thus saving the planet once everyone had one.
All we’d need to inspire the American public to buy them en masse is: 1) For the Iranians to make good on their threat to shut-off the oil spigot when we hit them, 2) For oil prices to reach $100/barrel for several months as a result, and 3) For the US government to strongly-incentivize the program.
My guess? A Japanese or Chinese firm.
