So what makes you so nervous about driving a mercedes? It can't be safety if you're considering a VW Well, I'm making the assumption that you're talking about a VW Bug. Also, the bugs are fairly hard to keep running. You have to have at least a decent amount of mechanical capabilities.
I'm just worried about hitting something because I pretty much suck at driving. I'm thinking about a golf, passat kinda thing. I'd only consider if I found a bug with a porsche(sp?) engine.
hahah.. like StimpE said, you may want to practice But yeah, golfs and passats are kinda ugly, but whatever you're comfortable in. Good luck!
I haven't used one, but I do hear that Kia's are nice and cheap. That and a 10-year warranty isn't a bad deal. On the other hand, if a new vehicle isn't your bag, a Honda Civic or Accord probably wouldn't be a bad first car...even if it was an early 90's model. I don't know why people say Cavalier's are chick cars, but I've been really happy with mine (it's the Z24, so a little sportier version). I like smaller cars, but not something that's like a Geo Metro. Even the Dodge Neon is a little cramped for my tastes.
