Help us hit 1 Million Subs! bit.ly/IdealCarsKZfaq What do you think is the best affordable first car?!

Cop a 2003 civic for 2k with no issues. It’s a beater got glad I got it cuz the used car market price is insane right now

I’m getting a car next year so this is helpful! May all y’all teenagers find the perfect car

I got my 06 Civic for $4300 CAD 5 years ago and its still running with zero issues after almost 100k kms. The rear muffler also fell off so it has a factory crackle tune lol

I got a datsun 280zx for 1,800 😂 a really good tip is to just go look around your town for gems, if you see something you really like go and ask if they’ll sell it to you!

I got a 2005 Mazda 3 Sedan (GT Model) and it handles so well for being a FWD car. I believe all the sedans are automatic but I could be wrong. Either way it's still an absolute blast to drive and has enough get up and go for a first car to where you can get into some trouble but not crash.

2013 Scion Tc Gen 2 (2011-13), very basic intake and exhaust modifications that free up some ponies, puts down 200Hp and 181pound-feet of torque, factory sports tuned suspension, factory 18" wheels, sounds amazing and does 0-60 in 6.2 seconds, I have pushed this engine to it's limit (with just basic Bolt-ons) and the car handles amazingly, it has a very large sun and moonroof, amazing headspace, great visibility and was top safety pick in the coupe class in 2013, amazing 8 speaker Bose sound system, and great gas-mileage, bullet proof 2AR-FE engine and the automatic transmission is the same as in the Legendary Lotus Evora and is capable of handling quite a bit of boost without changing or modifying (330WHP+). Has factory forged rods, only requires forged cam and pistons for boost, inexpensive aftermarket piggybacks for easy DIY tuning with tons of different maps available for different set ups, SUPER EASY TO WORK ON AT HOME

Had a Camry. Was not really a fan, then my friends all started to get Civic's at the same time. Then I got one. Best purchase I've made this year. Kind of also thinking of getting a Mustang in the near future too.

IDK where you can get a Fiesta ST for under 5K!!!

I own a tc and I love it's easy to work on and cool looking I cant wait to have it finish so I can daily drive it

You should do these vids every year i find it super helpful for those just entering college

Honda CRZ could be a shout. Not sure on the prices in the US. But it’s a fun car to drive, admittedly not super quick but got enough there. Looks amazing and gets some head turning. And best of all it’s a hybrid, so great on fuel, whilst being a manual so still fun. Got one recently and I’m loving it

can vouch for mazda 3. Great little fun car that's practical and cheap.

2004-2008 Acura TSX with 205hp very reliable and cheap you can find them for under 5k 06 tsx was my first car and it now has 243,000 miles runs strong and ive never had any engine problems just make sure you check that oil😉

The mazda 3!!!! I had a first gen grand touring 2.3 with the 5speed manual. Loved every minute in that car!! Great reliability and the stock clutch made it to 150k miles

Go with the Mazdaspeed3 just bought one and its been my favorite car!!

Ps. If you want generally reliable diesel engined german sedan: go Mercedes Benz C220 or above 2l diesel 170hp W204

Just bought an 08 Civic Lx Coupe, got bc coil overs and a car back and I love it 😩 AND YOU KNOW ITS A STICK

Been cruising my 08 Mazda 3 hatch for 3 years now. Great car and great for saving up, plan is to pick up a rx7, 944 or c5 next.

1st gen speed 3s are cheap too and some come with built internals for around 6 to 8k which means if you want a bigger turbo you'll have no issues

I want a Toyota Hilux.

Got a na miata as my first car a few years ago and bought a mustang gt this year both are a stick and put a smile on my face every time

I got a tc for 1600 that needed and still needs plenty of work, but it’s a good, fun to handle commuter

Bought my daughter a 2002 Mazda Protege back when she was a senior in high school as her first car. Now it had the automatic tranny (she was heading off to Western Washington University in hilly Bellingham, no time to learn a stick and a tough place to practice). What a spry fun little box, obviously not fast but handled remarkably well......a little kick to drive

I own the mk5 jetta but I have a 2010 special edition with a exhaust and it sounds so good and the fwd really does do allot it’s pretty fast for a jetta and the interior makes me feel like I own a 30,000$ car with seat warmers re worked steering wheel and interior set up is amazing

Helps me plannin to get on by end of the year

Yep, a vw is a fine choice! Jetta, golf or….

9:56 I CANT BELIEVE YOU PUT THAT IN THERE HAHAHAHA

“Your not gonna be able to afford a Porsche” 944 and boxster : are we a joke to you

I just bought my first car Fiat Punto sporting 2nd gen facelift 1.3 68 Hp really nice car i love it

Any BMW with an M50/52/54/56 series engine E30, E36, E46, Z3, and Z4 (none M models) are fun cars that can be found for under 5k with a ton of after market support the E30, E36, E46, Z3 and Z4 (2006 or older) since they share the same in-line 6 engine but with slight changes over the years to meet emissions while still being capable of putting 500whp down on stock internals (careful though they do have an aluminum and magnesium alloy engine block so let it get warm before you start to [HOON] and don’t forget to [HOON] responsibly)

my dream car is a mustang. i really want to be able to start my collection with a V6

2nd gen crv! Sure it looks like a soccer moms car when stock. But you can lift it slap on some bigger all terrain tires, it's 4wd, has the k24 and they were available in 5 sp manual! Mines got 288k miles and still runs good. 2 in lift beefy tires. It's a nice!

Now the best first cars for brazillian students under R$25000 (thats about 5k dollars but we dont have any of the cars that is in your list here... except for the civic si)

You guys just read my mind! That's, dare is say, Ideal!

I got a mk5 Jetta as my first car, and I was just about to comment how it should be on this list, as it showed up

Im thinking of getting a fiesta 🤔…but i have been looking at wrx’s and wondering what better

Homie the Mazdaspeed3 isn't lightweight. It's heavier than my Audi A4 Quattro

I bought the Hyundai Coupe 2008 for 4K very good looking car

Do a list of affordable fun cars for the UK where insurance rates are really high for first time drivers

Bet money since this video dropped the mazdaSpeed3 is about to go up in price

Honda Civic FD2 are one of the best Civics. In my country the FD2 gens are everywhere... I mean everywhere. Sadly most of them are autotragics because exterior were converted into a Type R or Mugen RR bodykits. It's disappointing when we look the exterior looks like one of those cool Type Rs/Mugen RRs but it's actually a autotragic. Which make it not as hot and rare as it was years ago.

You should do your next video on forgotten Performance vehicle like the Cheverolet TrailBlazer SS

I had a 2002 Chevy Tahoe and i loved it as my first car! However, my brother turns 16 in two years and i want to surprise him with something!

couldve gotten a v6 S197 for 6500 but decided to take it and get a 2001 new edge GT

I’m currently saving for a manual accord with a k24. Little do my parents know in about 2 years I’ll be building it to around 500hp to be a sleeper.

Pre 2011 model year V6 Mustangs had a glorified boat anchor for an engine

Your other video says it best. Mazda Miata is always the answer

I have the base V6 Mustang. It's a 2011, Black/black and with a 6 speed manual. The Miata would be my other top choice.

The best thing to think about is the weather how much will it rain what are you gonna do in the winter eyc

I bought a broken e46 m3 and restored it with some aftermarkets thing like cold air intake and exhaust

When are yall gonna put my scion xb on the list 😭💔 shes a beast I promise

THANK YOU for talking about jettas i love mine and its a manny wooooooooooooo

-7:44 legends have it that that candy was the main source of boost

Picked up a Ford crown Victoria p71 it's basically a 4 door mustang for only 1500

I would take any V6 Mustang over the new electric one. 🤣🍻

Please make a video about the Hennessy venom F5

Sad times for the used market.

My parents didnt let me get a sports car when I was in high school so I got a 95 Maxima 3.0. Made it no cats Y-pipe, Greddy catback exhaust, Intake and I was surprising Mustang GT's on the streets lol

Man ... NC Miata is so underrated

what good timing

You missed BMWs! I think a 90s E39 530i or E46 3 series would be perfect! Of course get the manual because duh :D

I got to say as 17 boy and part time Uber driver, I used to have MK4 Jetta GLI and definitely it is a German version of civic and I remember I wondered to buy a car in car lot by my father and dreamed to drive a cheap JDM sedan for cheap like civic but instead I got VW Jetta GLI, but I did changed my mind cause it is a bimmer look car with JDM behaviour and tuning capabilities

what about Acura TL or TSX?

Hello bro. I am turning 18 on 22 August and i am thinking of getting and e60 preferably the 525i. Do you recommend me the car as a good first car?

First car is needed to be small,low power and for low money. Like 1 gen ford focus in hatch or vw golf 3.

What about gti ?? And what mk was the best 🤔

You forgot the 1994 Dodge neon ACR (American Club Racer) series neon. Then again they are nearly impossible to find now and if you do find one it’s worth about)10,000

Might sound boring but buy a cheap Mercury Sable LS, they are comfortable reliable and have 220 horsepower, i have one they are great and very underrated!

2008-2011 v6 camry are a sleeper and a half. Toss on couple bolt ons and itll wake up for sure

What are the wheels at 6:42 in this video!? I want them NOW!!!

For me i don't like Hondas but i would still choose it because it is a common car in Philippines and it's ez to maintain and what i like the most is super ez to find parts

Trying to find a 7th gen Celica GTS! But unfortunately the used car market is just straight up ridiculous right now.

I doubt you can get a Camry in England as a first car, due to insurance. Oh England 🇬🇧

Honestly my v6 mustang from 95 is perfect!!!

I actually was hoping you would recommend a modest and conservative car; dare I say a Corolla or Camry 🤷🏾‍♂️

Definitely buy a 90’s civic

I got a manual 2008 Mazda 3 hatchback

Damn. I was really hoping the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo would make the list (although I knew it probably wouldn’t, since it’s 1 of those cars that’s so legendary it gets more expensive over time). Welp, they can’t all b home runs

Volvo is a great choice to

That awkward moment when you're looking for a cheapo beater cause the wife wants something 4 door to replace your scion tc, and you see a scion tc on the list 🤣

G35 should be on this list

I want an mazda rx8

I wanna get a keep grand Cherokee

Keep in mind for how good they are in the snow for the people who live in New England

VW scirocco is a really good car 6 speed Manuel and you can get a good one under 5k is the one I am looking forward to buy because of the mods you can install is really awesome

You need to make an episode about mini trucks! like the Toyota hilux, Nissan Hardbody, Mitsubishi Mighty Max

Hey man, I’m literally 2 months away from getting a car with all the money I’ve been saving up so this is so helpful… question. How reliable is a manual? Cause I heard they suck when it comes to hill, traffic, and it stalls

What about the Toyota GT 86?

99 Ford Mustang V6 for only $800 and it only has a little bit of the suspension issue

What about Sequential manual transmission it’s very good and faster

What's the best 125cc A1 motorcycle (because I don't have money for a car) : Honda CB125F or Yamaha YS125 ? Thank you in advance

You should do a video about the supra mk 3

Scion tc ! But the last gen tc 2.5

Soon I'll either get the Altezza or a Corolla they the same 4 cylinder but the Altezza looks like a baby Lexus IS300 without the 2JZ and the Lexus badge with a reliable 4 cylinder that's from a toyota Corolla not mentioned that it's the RWD version of the the Toyota Corolla

Ah your wrong, mine said "go commute" because it is really the practical choice in here.

Toyota corolla 2006. Fun and reliable af

First gen insights are very underrated, they have decent handling, get 60 plus mpg with the manuals, and are cheap as hell.

I really want a nice 4 door so I'll go cop a Jetta mk 5

I have a jetta and a civic so looks like I got the right fun commuters. I was laughing when it said Civic and then Jetta next. 😂🙏But I got a mk6 Jetta 5 speed and 2003 civic Si
