Help me choose a car.

So I recently passed my driving license (yay me) and I my father offered me to buy me car. When I asked him what budget I would be looking at he said 30000€. I think that is too much but I'm not gonna complain xD 

 

I'd mostly use the car to drive to school and to university in the future. (Short rides of sub 10 km) I'd like the car to be efficent as I don't feel like paying a shit ton for gas. EDIT: Guys stop recommeding street racer type cars. I cry everytime. (Gas is pricey over here in Germany. You muricans ain't got nothing to complain about.) Since I have a rather high budget (Atleast I think of 30000€ as a high budget for a first car.) I'd like a new car. So no to used cars. I'll mostly use the car alone but I'd still like it to have 4 or so seats. (So I don't want a tiny car like a smart.) I also want it to be automatic as I they are way easier and more relaxed to drive than manual ones. 

 

 

I'll be buying it in germany so please try to use european prices. 

 

I have been looking at the Citroen C4 Cactus as that seems like a good car and I dig the design. My only brand preference would probably be towards Audi. I like Audi. (I'd prefer a Tesla but that's more like 80000€)

 

So what car should I get? 

 

Thanks guys :)

Dont care for the look of the C4. An Audi A3/A4 would be nice. I've had the A4 and it wasnt a bad car, but I'd be sure to get the better speakers next time.

For now about 6 miles a day. (For home to school and back home)

1. Buy most expensive looking car

 

2. Drive it once

 

3. Sell it and buy computer shit

 

4. Profit?

I've got some pretty sweet computer shit going on so... I'm good :)

People telling him to get M3's when he's asking for fuel efficient cars. *facepalm*

 

Look towards Audi A6 and BMW 3-series diesel offerings. You're gonna have to either buy used or fork out money though (both cases will be worth it though, no doubt). They're going to be fairly expensive to maintain, but so is any modern car.

I'm just going to say that you are very lucky. I hope you don't turn out to be someone who cannot see the value of a dollar or euro or whatever...

 

I'll also put in a good word for Subaru. My family owns two Subaru's and they are very reliable cars. Also cheap to run and insure (In Canada at least). Can't go wrong with one.

wish I could help more, dont know much about German cars. wish you the best of luck

Thanks mate :)

 

 

BMW M3 or a Nissan 370Z

The BWM is too expensive and the Nissan is more of a racing car. I don't want a car with that high of a gas cosumtion. 

 

 

Subaru WRX STI

40 Grand and also more of a racer than what I need. 

 

 

Damn kids and your parents buying you expensive shit.

Haha mate xD I'm kind of in a lucky postion here I guess :)

 

 

A c4 cactus!?

... I cannot help you...

Why? Looks pretty good in Metalic Purple...

 

 

get a electric car if you can !

I don't think I can as electric cars would be too expensive.

 

 

I'm not good with euro prices... And I'm not sure if they still make the Miata... But Miata. :D

 

Nö. Einfach mal nö. (That's german. :P) 

if you want to save on gas, consider a hybrid or EV

I do but I don't know which ones...

 

 

How about a you get a Prius and make a quad titan build with the money you saved (is this even possible?).

Like me paying 20k and getting 10k to do stuff? I highly doubt it. Probably not. Not gonna happen.
