Hello Paul_Gerges and welcome to our forum ....

Well, if you are dead set on buying a new car priced around $25,000, then an FR-S would be a relatively safe, relatively economical, dependable, fun automobile for a single person..

However, several other new cars on the market are less expensive and can fill that criteria.

I know I started all three of my kids off with used cars when they turned 16. I replaced the brakes and mounted new tires for them and then showed them where my tool box was and where the wrecking yard was.

As others have mentioned, at age 16, you might consider other priorties to spend your money on. Like education, acquiring job skills or simply saving it.

There are lots of fine pre-owned vehicles out there that can get you to where your going for far less money .....
