im a 15 year old guy and im getting a car in a couple weeks and im looking at either a 2005 or 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer with a V8 in Redfire Metallic. I know it gets crappy gas mileage but i have a job and have a 3.9 GPA. So my parents are paying for the truck and insurance and some of the gas and matience. what do you think about the truck?
i will help pay for gas. and my parents are getting me the truck because of my grades. surprisingly the insurance rates are cheap.
 
I'll keep saying this until I'm blue in the face....

Even though your parents are footing part of the bill, and a car is a highly personal decision, get a car that is both reliable and economical. Over the course of a year the money you save on gas could get you an Ipod Touch or I-Phone, or some other goodie. You sound like a responsible student so maybe a smaller sporty car....
 
i think its better 2 get maybe like an audi a4 or volvo s60. they have way better gas mileage and are more comfortable. they are also european, and they are real cars. fords are american cars, which means they suck. and i know that the eddie bauer has leather, but u can put leather on a hyundai, too, can't u? it doesn't mean its a good car.
