Most of my friends try to convince their parents to buy them crazily expensive and nice cars. Though those cars are cool, without much practice, they would pretty much wreck it, which is a shame.

But, since im the only one that feels that way, am i wrong? Is it smart to practice on a used car before getting a nice one?

   You are a smart teen! =)

   Here’s my perspective and I’m 16 and have been driving for a whole year. I’ve been told that I drive better than my road rage, "what’s a speed limit?" driving parents.

   It depends on the the type of driver you are. If you are an awesomely good driver and your parents and others can back that up. Then yeah spill out the cash and get a new car. But beware because if you are not the driver you think you are then you might eat the bumper of someone else’s car. Plus insurance on a car that you drive might cost more than your parents’ for a couple years depending on what you’re driving and other things that an insurance company could pin on a teen driver.

   But if you mess up every once in awhile and hit a curb or a mailbox or even not see that car while you were pulling out onto the road then no, do not get a new car and practice in an older used car that you like. Practice on a beater until you are a good driver is always better than starting out in a Lamborghini Gallardo and have not the proper experience first. If you are in the market for a good and inexpensive used vehicle, US Government auctions are held here: http://www.gov-auctions.org/?hop=research8

   Me though, I’ve been told by my parents, driving instructor, and several adults that they think I had been driving for years. I don’t know how I do it but to me driving is a natural thing. So I’ve decided to get a new car. But I’m the one making the payments on it. So I get responsibility from it all. I take care of it and make the payments or else…

   Oh and that new car happens to be a smart fortwo passion coupe.

   You should give it some thought, you are at a great start by thinking about new or used and why. Ask people who have seen you drive if they think you should go new. Ask yourself are you ready to go new.

   You’ll figure it out but for now, focus on the road and drive safely!

   you are correct, since you will not feel as bad if your used car gets dented or have a problem it won’t bother you.

   You are a smart guy, your friends (and their parents if they do it) are idiots.

   Money is the issue here is an example:

   If you had the option of a 2009 BMW 325i or a 1999 Dodge Neon and they were both the same price which would you take? But the one thing you MUST remember is the insurance on both these cars so in all reality YOUNGER drivers should be driving older inexpensive cars for money reasons, unless you are wealthy and able to do that.
