Reply With QuoteHate to be the bearer of bad news but you slap a P plate on the back of ~any~ car and you'll attractsthe cops attention.
So i'm looking for a first car for when i get my P's in September, needs to be under $12 500.
Needs to be:
- cheap-ish to insure
- good fuel economy
- reasonable power
- good cruiser, leather would be good
I was thinking a Honda accord euro luxury, in manual. Was looking at vy-vz commodores before as well but i have gone off the idea, uses to much fuel plus too much cop attention.
any other cars worth considering? I am not one eyed or anything, so JDM, European, Australian etc doesn't matter.
Thanks

Yes obviously, but i'm sure some cars would attract more attention then others. Eg p plate commodore or p plate toyota yaris, the commodore would be cop bait...Originally Posted by SnowFox
Will $12.5k get an Accord Euro? If it were me, I'd be happy with a Civic or an i30 or Mazda3. All decent cars, safe, well appointed, not too expensive to maintain/insure (beyond what you expect for a P plater), etc.

Toyota 86
86 will be a great P plater car to those who have the budget to spend $35k. It's the new Integra.

I really doubt you'll get an accord euro for the price you're stating, unless it's quite old.
I'd suggest a corolla. They're one of the safest cars, fairly standard, and a good size so easy to park, but also enough room if you want to do some roadtripping, or generally carry some stuff around. And great fuel usage.
No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them.
Found about 15 listings for an Accord Euro under that price in NSW.

Yep, quite a few Euro's for around that price...
Not quite sure now though, bought an Ek civic hatchback for a bargain, so i might just drive that for a while and sell it for a profit later.
I wish, haven't got 35k + to spend like some of my mates at school.

I call people I don’t like ‘rock eaters’ because it makes them question their very existence. Some will wonder why I called them a rock eater and this will torture them to the very end, even though they have never eaten a rock. Others will remember the time they ate a rock and feel ashamed and confused.
never been pulled over
maybe just cause you live in c'town

Pulled over in wollongong and picton.
My bad, I just realised I had forgotten about the first generation Euros.

The raccoon is often called a 'robber' for its foraging habits, the mask.

Funny thing about the XR6 - cops tend to think you're driving your Dad's car and don't give you shit lol.

So men die under the mountain just looking for gold, some die looking for a hand to hold.

The design of your car showing your status.The aerodynamic and innovative design of the car helps it stand out among other concept cars.Toyota 86,good one...
my friend has an 86, the interior is so basic - maybe because he bought the standard version and there's minimal moving space!
An lexus is200 would be good as a first car ! then 250 or 350 soon after
IS200 or the IS300 with the 6-speed manual. Fun :P.

Nope, none at all. Since i bought the Civic i haven't really worried about it. Think i will just learn on that while i'm on my p's and by the time i get my blacks, i will have enough money for a quicker and better car anyway. The civic is a one owner with only 98 000km and i got it cheap, so i am pretty confident i will make at least 2k profit when i sell it.
Yeah have you looked at the rear seats? piss all leg room. But it's aimed at being a light sports car so i doubt Toyota thought the rear leg room or the interior was that important compared to the handling.my friend has an 86, the interior is so basic - maybe because he bought the standard version and there's minimal moving space!
