under 5 thousand, come on if you were.

If you're looking for the perfect first car for school, the Mazda 3 is definitely worth considering. This car is designed to be your right-hand man throughout high school and beyond, it's durable, offers good gas mileage, and its Repair is super cheap. It looks so much better than any other car you can find for under five grand. Well, there are a couple on this list that are also quite attractive, but this one is very attractive and the base model three is an absolutely excellent and reliable car. Perfect for getting to and from school, but hey, what we want is to level up, so why not look at the Mazda 3 Touring?

Yes, it's still under 5km and while the base 3 gets 144 horses, the touring adds another 12, bringing it to 156 and The Touring version also has a lot more cabin and cargo space, which definitely It'll come in handy when you and all your friends pile into it for some weekend adventures, and I don't think you'll be the only one who will like it. this car because your mom and dad will be too because it has some top-notch safety features that will keep your little babies safe and sound on the road auto-locking retractors airbags galore and a smart crash sensor this whip is as safe as it gets and check out this low mile mazda 3 touring we found for under 5k and if you want one or any of the cars on this list we have linked it to my favorite of each car using auto tempest in the description and the first comment.

Definitely go check out your favorite and be sure to use ideal car strategies when looking to buy one, especially the next one, because it's from a car brand you don't really see anymore and yet it's a unique and stylish baby. that's exactly what i'm talking about yes scion which is the discontinued toyota brand that was marketed towards the younger demographic built an amazing car and even though they are gone they are not forgotten because the scion tc is a wonderful set of wheels and is the perfect car for anyone getting their first set of keys and I have to say as I have spent some time behind the wheel of one it is a lot of fun to drive and yet it is safe, runs

on handling and acceleration.

With its 240 horsepower four-cylinder with a finely tuned transmission, it's a pleasure to drive and won't cost you more than 5k, plus it has a large sunroof that's perfect for romancing your high school sweetheart under the night sky. And while the TC's design language is modest and elegant. Anywhere you stop at one sends the message that you have very good taste and as good as the exterior looks, the interior is not something that will surprise you either because the dashboard of this car is beautiful and if you are going to buy a tc , you should inspect the engine thoroughly because in 2007 they had a recall on the engine and if you find one that works the right way, it's a toyota so it will last you a lifetime. and the amazing thing is that you can find decent TCs under your budget, like this silver base model with less than 100,000 miles and it might be my first pick, but the next car on this list has something to say about it because it's another Japanese driving machine. which offers great luxury at pocket change prices and if you are looking for a first sports car and are willing to sacrifice some gas mileage then look no further the acura tsx is a luxury sports sedan with plenty of power for the money. price and yes, for less than five thousand dollars, this little powerhouse comes with four letters that are synonymous with power due to the fast and furious v-tech franchise.

It has a 2.4 liter v-tech engine that makes 205 horsepower and while connected to an automatic transmission, it has sport shifting capabilities plus the gas mileage isn't too bad at 28 miles per gallon on the highway, so i guess you can have your cake and eat it too, and inside the tsx gives up absolutely nothing, it has a speaker system and slam bluetooth wireless connectivity a satellite radio included unless you live in hawaii or alaska, but regardless Wherever you live, the TSX includes a number of safety features including an anti-trap device in the trunk in case someone tries to hold you hostage in your trunk. of your own car and hopefully that never happens to you or me but hey if it does at least you know your tsx has you covered now because they are such good road cars that people tend to put a lot of miles on them with them so it's harder to find a lower mileage example but we found some like this silver tsx for five grand that looks nice and the car below is one that if you want to match well you'll probably see them almost every days, but its popularity is not unjustified because it is perfect for first-time drivers, since about the year 2000 there has been what seems like an unrestrained avalanche of Honda Civics on the road, although today you may associate the Civic with your middle-aged neighbor that walks the cat while you're on vacation, which is a little strange, but okay, and from 1996 to 2000, the Civic was considered a badass Japanese drag machine, right around the time the car first hit the market in that period , enthusiasts really liked the smaller, lighter Vtech-powered model. econobox as an alternative to the bulkier V8-powered American muscle cars of the era, believe it or not, the Civic was taking on camaros and corvettes on the racetrack and it was winning which yes, it was kicking ass, so promise me this before making assumptions.

About the Civic, get behind the wheel of one and tell me it doesn't have the kick you're looking for and yes I agree, it's not a supercar but it's a lot more fun than I think you give it credit for and it costs too. almost nothing, it's safe and reliable and a lot of fun to drive now that you've been warned that the market for these is quite competitive and you may need luck on your side to find a good example before they are sold. But we found some with decent miles, clean titles and in good condition within your budget and below we have a great car for a first time buyer that in my opinion is one of the worst names on the market.

Yes, we are talking about the Toyota. yaris, am I crazy or is this just a horrible name for anything let alone a car? yaris just sounds like a dirty word, like something you'd scrape off the sole of your shoe, but anyway despite the horrible name, this car is actually a phenomenal buy for all the

students

looking to buy a new car, well , a new car for you, is super compact, offers excellent gas mileage and, best of all, fits in practically any parking spot and in almost any budget, and if you find a Yaris that has been driven so little, It will last you forever because these cars are super reliable, they are Toyota, but I will say the styling is a little strange, but if you don't care about looks and want to save. some money on gas, the whip gets 35 miles per gallon on the highway, not bad at all, unfortunately this is partly due to the fact that the yaris only has a 1.5 liter 106 horsepower engine and ​This thing is practically an easy bake oven. engine, but hey, it's cheap, reliable and fuel efficient and yes it's not great for your budding driving career but it's definitely great for your wallet and although it's underpowered it's also too cheap and you can buy a small first car and fun for only 4,300 like this black one.

Yaris and our next car definitely doesn't fail in terms of style or performance. When people in the US hear about someone driving a Bimmer, they immediately assume they spent a lot of money on it, but the truth is, they don't. It's not necessary that for less than $25,000 you can be sitting behind the wheel of a 2006 BMW 325i and at that price you will be blown away by the kind of quality that awaits you, since we are talking about a beautiful combination of sporty performance and practicality. all wrapped up in that beautiful BMW luxury, this car is more agile than a jungle cat, turning, accelerating and stopping with ease and without sacrificing even the slightest driver comfort and of course when you buy a BMW you expect to get some excellent technology. features and back in 2006, a few years ago, the 325i surprised people with the active steering system that, believe it or not, actually turns the front wheels without the driver having to do anything, it's like a reader minds or something, except technology. was implemented so you don't have to worry about drifting out of your lane, the 325i also features bi-xenon headlights and high-tech cruise control that will apply the brakes if you start going too fast downhill to get all of this.

The value for so little money is crazy and if this is your first time buying a car on the market right now, maybe you should write a thank you note to BMW for building the 325i, now for five grand, you're looking at a three series with at least at least six figures on the clock and if the thought of a 110,000 mile German sedan scares you, maybe it should, although if it's had routine maintenance and you get a pre-purchase inspection before buy it, it can be a great first car, just like this upcoming german powertrain that will make you smile when you drive it even if you're driving for jury duty over the last decade volkswagen has proven to be a fantastic and versatile automaker and the jetta It is some of their best work.

This car excels in almost every category imaginable. It gets 33 highway miles per gallon. Its cabin is spacious and equipped with an easy-to-use, high-tech interface and most people who own a jetta sc have no problem with it year after year year after year and it's the first car I've driven that doesn't have a single feature and while it doesn't have a supercharged V8 engine, no first car should make a healthy 170 horsepower from an engine 2.5 liter Sefi, which, you know, is nice. respectable and when you open the door the jetta sc feels like a luxury vehicle and its handling is purely german and one of the best in its class and i bet you will smile as you drive down the road thinking about it all. the performance and luxury you found for under 5k and if you think this is your ideal first car we definitely recommend you get the soft plush interior instead of the hard leather they tried to replace with leather sure looks much better but If you're going to have your butt sitting on something for hours upon hours several times a week, wouldn't you want it to be comfortable and attractive?

Here, a SC model jetta with less than 100k on the clock and a little over budget, but we're pretty. I am sure if you use the ideal strategies for the car you will get it for less than 5k and to change gears a bit the next car on this list is a spacious suv it is not a car at all and it is from a company known for its luxury. and quality, yes, specifically, Lexus Luxury Baby, and I know we're always talking about it, but that's because it's real and the RX 300 is certainly no exception and there are quite a few reasons why the rich choose to buy the exclusive Toyota brand, but you.

You don't have to be rich to own one of these today because the RX 300 is an incredible value. First, the front-engine V6 makes 220 horsepower, which is more than enough to get you from point A to B quickly, plus the interior. Lexus Luxury is stitched with some of the super comfortable leather we know and love, plus you get plenty of cabin space that it now lacks compared to some of the other cars on this list with a gas mileage of just 22 miles per gallon , but that's not bad for an SUV and keep in mind that the RX 300 is available in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations and although all-wheel drive will cost you a little more, we definitely suggest choosing that trim level because with all wheel drive you can really shred the snow and the rx 300 is definitely a home run for your first car and for 5k you can find rx 300s pretty regularly just expect higher mileage than yours.

I'm used to seeing it, but it's a damn Toyota with a Lexus badge. It's just getting started, so what's your ideal first car? Is this something we cover in this list or don't we mention it?
