16 years old, any car recommendations?




Pranay


Right, Im 16 years old and im buying a car. Im looking for a good, reliable used car around 20k dollars. I'd prefer a 2-door but honestly I just want a car thats looks good, however I also want things like Leather Seats, preferably a multimedia display but thats not too necessary, and other small luxury features. Paying for insurance isn't too big of a deal for me, but don't recommend me some V8 muscle car that will destroy my insurance bill. I am a very careful driver in all honesty, gotta 3.85 GPA, and taken drivers ed. I've done most of my driving in a S-Class Mercedes and a Toyota Sienna minivan so im pretty good with big vehicles. Gas mileage isn't to big of a problem as long as its 17+ in the city. Thank you for any feedback!

Mazda Miata (least recommended of the list): http://www.cars.com/for-sale/searchresults.action?stkTyp=U&tracktype=usedcc&mkId=20073&AmbMkId=20073&AmbMkNm=Mazda&make=Mazda&AmbMdNm=Miata%20MX-5&model=Miata%20MX-5&mdId=21460&AmbMdId=21460&prMx=20000&rd=100000&zc=33156&searchSource=QUICK_FORM&enableSeo=1

To avoid confusion: the Camaro, Challenger and Mustang are not V8 muscle cars, these are V6 models. The same goes for the Chrysler 300.

If MPG is a very decisive factor, I'd make sure to get a Japanese or German car.

Good luck and enjoy your car!

What isUconnect Access System?




CarquoteAS


Itâs been a while since we did a story on in- car infotainment systems, probably because of the growing concern for distracted driving that has made not only headlines, but spawned a long list of commercials running on TV. In fact the problem has spilled over into what is being called distracted walking, people being injured while walking and texting on cell phones. Be that as it may, Chrysler is making news with their Uconnect Access system, which will reportedly see itâs way into cars next year.
Currently the industry is seeing â¦



Answer
It's something that has nothing to do with insurance. And, your inserted news is old. My car already has Uconnect in it which simply connects my phone to the car....but it's kind of a crappy system. It doesn't recognize vocal commands, it can't connect to iPhones or iPods like it's supposed to be able to do, and if you play music and try connecting it through BlueTooth, it sounds like it's being fast forwarded.

But, if you get an incoming call and hit the answer button three times, you can have a conversation with someone. So, that part works....kinda.
