16 year old needs help

I am about to turn 16 and i have about $4500 to spend on a car including mods (if necessary), i have been looking at many cars and i have a few in mind but it is really hard for me to choose which one i should get...so far i've narrowed it down to these cars...

Nissan 240sx s13 ($2000 - $3500)
Nissam Maxima 3rd or 4th Gen ( $2000 - $4000)
Honda Civic SI anything between 88-95 ($1000 -$2500)
Mazda MX-6 2nd Gen or 1st Gen turbo ($2500 - $4000)
Acura Integra 2nd or 3rd Gen ( $1500 - $3500)
Toyota Celica GT-S 5th Gen (I think...) or 4th Gen all trac turbo ($2500 - $3500)
Honda Prelude 4th Gen ( $3500 - $4500)
Volkswagen Corrado ( $2500 - $4000)
Volkswagen Jetta 2nd or 3rd Gen ( $1000 - $3500)
Nissan 200sx (not the s12) ( $2500 - $3500)

I'm more lenient towards the 240, mx-6 and Prelude...is there any other cars i should consider...why or why not?....I would also like to mod the car a bit so please tell me which car i should get along with what simple mods...please be specific...

If I had the $$, I would consider a corrado for sure. I just love those things. They're pretty quick stock, too.

However, I agree with the guy above. I would get an older civic (like you said, 88-95'ish), and use the extra $$ on a swap. It'd be a huge learning experience for you, and you'd have a swapped honda, right when you turned 16, not too bad.

Re: 16 year old needs help

Look for a 90-93ish Accord, hopefully the 2.2 pretty quick fo stock and you'll have plently left for intake and exaust as long as any repairs aren't to bad. 5 speed or walk away, you'll love your new japanese muscle

-dump that fucking clutch

Re: 16 year old needs help

The Hondas will probably cost you about 1000$-2500$ of 1 way insurance per year....

here's my so you could go with the 240 which i do happen to love, but to really do something mean with it u need to do a swap and put a JDM sr20det into it, and if you want to do it right its expensive. were talking $5000. well that too much. so what i'd do is find a 92-95 civic si, due to the fact it comes with a stock B16A2 motor. no swap needed! if u want to save a cpl bucks get the VX it has the V-Tech motor, but no bells and whistles like PW and PDL and shit like that.
