The frs is a great car but I don't think you would want it when you are only 16; you should rather drool over the car.

1. your insurance would rape you (most likely your parents)
2. regardless if you intend to race it or not, you'll get on the gas eventually
3. get something simple and cheap like a civic or a corolla as a starter car
4. you're wrong, the frs is actually a pretty safe car to drive

hell I'm only 22 and insurance on my frs is still costly for me. not to mention I have to have it fully insured even tho I'm deployed in Korea (gotta pay off my loan)

besides, you're 16; which means you'll get into a wreck eventually...everything thinks they are high and mighty when they first drive then they get into that wreck and insurance goes up and if you have a sports car, you can kiss your college funds good bye if you wanna keep driving

there's my 2 cents. enjoy
