Hi, the name's Will.
I'm actually just about to get my license...I feel a little weird being in here being 16.
My dad owns an '00 Audi S6 Sedan, has owned a Karman Ghia as well as a Westfalia; VW runs in the family.
I'm ready to get on here and look around, just joined, and want to get to know more about VW cars and what may be a good first car for myself!

Anyway....

I would like suggestions on a first car. I am almost 16 and would like to get a vw, they are decently reliable(as far as I've seen), and most of the MK2's, which I'm interested in, have good gas mileage.

What do you guys think?

 

Welcome to the forum Will.

So do you get your license at 16 in Colorado? In the UK its 17 unless higher rate mobility component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA).

Being that young I'm assuming it going to the be the same as the UK, young driving will pay alot for their insurance so don't think of something big, a Golf may be.

 

Hey, thanks for the warm welcome...

I CAN get my license at age 16, I have my permit and am waiting to turn 16, in April. I don't wanna go too big, like you said. I'm kinda looking into a used '96 Jetta.

 

And yes, for young drivers it costs QUITE a bit more for insurance.

 

Are you thinking about gas or diesel?

 

I'm kinda thinking gas. Diesel costs quite bit more.

 

And excuse me, earlier I said that I was looking at mk2's, but I meant mk3.

 

In today's we are looking a different types of car like a diesel, petrol, gas fuels and electric car. When you are buying a new car so you also consider some important points like his maintenance expense, mileage etc. I would prefer to buy a simple car which is provided a good mileage so I can regular use it.

 

If your thinking of a TDI then read the Detailed model specific buying guide, new owner checklist, catch up maintenance, and quirks
