I was not "hating" on people who have their parents help them with car payments. There is nothing wrong with that. I was curious about people who claim they buy a 25k car in college when they have no established credit. It seems impossible to me given the way the banks are now and just generally how credit works.
I have no repressed anger, and no resentment for people who find themselves in such a fortunate situation at a young age. What i don't like is 18 year olds rolling around like they own the streets in brand new sports cars that they didn't work for. They drive erratically and cause the inflated insurance epidemic that plagues evo owners. In my opinion it inhibits the learning process and maturing of younger people when they get such a prize for just graduating high school. it's entirely overkill
I totally agree. Where I live, there are plenty of drop-outs or rich kids whos parents buy them a BMW and then they total it and get a new one. There are also girls who ride in Lincoln MKX trucks and Navigators and end up messing those up too. I dont support that crap because it just makes insurance for me more expensive.

10k downpayment still means you owe around 15k on that car, and I'm guessing without a credit history (which still baffles me that the bank lent you 15 thousand dollars without credit) you are probably going to end up paying like 40k for that car when it gets payed off. Possible? maybe. Smart? Hardly.

So thats about $1100 a month just for you car and rent.
You living with anyone? That's some cheap *** rent (which is good).
That's like pay for a decent full-time job.
How do find find time for another job, for your other bills?
and school? how many classes?
geez, man it seems you got your hands a tad full.

A nice car in university is stupid, you'll be driving people places, dealing with door dings, learning how to drive alone, etc. A cheap car is far better, gives you more money to have fun and you're not paying out the *** in insurance.
It's not impossible, I've done it since turning 18 and I just turned 21 in feb. Granted I still live with my parents and I'm on a full ride for school. I pay my own insurance, phone, car, and food. I also work 2 jobs and go to school, and no mommy and daddy did not help me with the purchase. So yeah it's possible but it ain't easy by no means.
First car was a pos ford contour..... Horrible

Why don't you go cause more accidents? The person is looking for advice, I've been through university and know what it's like. He's a brand new driver, an expensive car can be a real hassle when you're just starting out. If he asked if he should get a WRX, I'd say the same thing. This isn't about what the brand is, it's about the cost an nature of the car.
again...
He's 18, he's been driving since 16 like *gasp* most people out there (the minimum age for a driver's license in Canada is 16). That doesn't mean he's ready for a car like a Ralliart. There is a big difference between "driving" for 2 years and actually owning your own car and dealing with all the things that come from that. 2 years is nothing and is ultimately a small part of why a cheap, slower car is better.

I don't whats your parking situation at your school. But i've been holding off getting a new car b/c of the abuse that a car gets being parked at school. People stealing emblems, door dings, drunks standing on your hood, etc. in my opinion it just not practical to have a brand new car at school

The car has 200 whp stock (not awhole lot of power), it has great safety ratings, and its meant to be a daily driver with a little performance. It is meant for daily driving. If you are looking for a daily driver then congrats you just found your self the best looking daily driver out there for the price.
and if you have the money go with the recaro package it well worth it trust me thats something not to many other companies will offer.
