I just got my car this summer and I'm only 19, and I still feel like I don't deserve this car sometimes. Believe me, I work 2 jobs and I still have a tough time keeping up with paying for this car's gas and insurance. I've been driving since I was 16 and I don't have a single ticket, no accidents, or any blemish on my driving record and my insurance is still 270/month.
Just get a beater if you really need a car. I remember being 16 and thinking "I'll never get a new car as my first car. I just want a used car that I don't have to worry too much about." Now granted, I never got a beater car because I decided to tough it out for a few years and save up for this car instead. If you really want something as nice as an FR-S, I'd say save up your own money for at least two or more years. Don't put that financial stress on your parents and have them worry about you getting into a wreck everyday.

Here's my advice to you (advice from a 19 year old? wow), and this applies to generally everything you'll ever consider buying:Don't buy anything you yourself can't afford two of.

That simple little advice works for everything, believe me.
