Okay, I turn sixteen in the beginning of August and I'm starting to look at cars. The limit is $16,000 (that doesn't include the extras such as AWD ect.) I'm starting to look into vehicles this early simply so I can help pay for it.

But that's not why I'm here.
My questions are...

Would you recomend this car for a new, responsible driver?
Is it safe? Do you have experience with one your self?

I also live in West Virginia (bad, sporatic weather conditons). Would it be a safe car?

Please also give your own suggestions. (Don't tell me that $16,000 is too much for a new car, we'll probably get a used one anyways)

Thanks in advance :)
Most detailed, intelligent answer get's 10pts.
 
I haven't had experience with it myself, but just about any car is "safe" if you are responsible and handle it correctly. For example, no car is safe if you are going 100 mph. So if you are as trustworthy as you say, you should be fine.

Since you are a new driver though, I don't think you should go out and buy a car (even if it's used). Maybe your parents can lend you their car and they can get a new car for themselves. Maybe after a couple years of responsible driving, you can get a new car of your own, but not less than a year of getting your license.
