first car help

hey guys... I am completely clueless i got my license this past month, but I have been using my dads car and I feel bad for him having to walk to work and think it is time for me to step up and get a car. However, I do not have all the money in the world to buy a new cool car. I will not be able to spend more than 2500 on a new car. I was thinking about a 98 passat or 96 audi A4, but my dad was saying the maintenance would be a disaster on a car like that, but as a dentist what does he really know? haha so can someone please help me into the right direction. Im looking for a sedan only and as a teenager as classy as possible.
thanks for allt he hlep,
Jeff

He is right. You will be bankrupt if you get one of those cars. Especially if they are that old. Look at an older toyota avalon and use the 2500 as a down payment.

Easy to drive. They can be had for cheap, can be fixed for cheap, and won't break down on you. Can also be made faster for cheap.

Any year Civic...I'd just buy the newest you can afford...but balance that with the mileage...
