ideas for first car

[redpoint5]

You only get 1 first car, so choose carefully.

What do you want your stories to be about your first car when you're old? Because it's your first, it will be prominent in your memories.

My first vehicles were whatever my dad let me drive in high school. First was a '69 Bug, then a 1985 Volvo, then a 1980 Dodge Ram van, then a 1976 CB750 motorcycle...

First car I owned the title to was a 1996 Subaru Legacy manual transmission. My fondest memories were in that car because I owned it so long, and adventured so many places with it, often offroad. It's a miracle someone else caused its demise.

Correct. It had a 1.6L 160hp naturally aspirated. I bought the car with 160k miles (260k km), and put another 100k miles (160k km), put almost nothing into it, and sold it for more than I paid. The car owed me nothing.

I can relate to that, even though I've been more interested on Diesel engines since '96 when I moved from Manaus to Florianópolis when my father got transfered (he's a former military), and so I started having more contact with people from Argentina and Uruguay during summer. Back in the day, most of the cars with Argentinian and Uruguayan plates that I used to see had Diesel engines, even some Brazilian-made cars which had Diesel versions available only for export. Due to the Free Port Zone in Manaus, even American full-size trucks imported from Miami were most often gassers, and cheap gasoline smuggled from Venezuela could be found at some fuel stations

in greece we got plenty of fire engines due to their low displacemnt they are good options i have seen some issues with 1.4 turbo ones

I was considering the naturally-aspirated ones.
