Gnil:

+ 1 . I stil have precise memories of some drive I have done and wonder up to today how I passed these corners without crashing .surprise

My older son, 17 , says he would like either a Mustang or a Camaro when he turns 18 ( camaro because they are pretty cheap second hand )  . Not that he will get one , but that's what he is pushing for . 

 

Same here...Challenger, Charger (yes, my son would even go for a Charger), Mustang or Camaro.

My son even made a good point: The Challenger RT has a valet mode which offers only slightly over 160 hp. The problem with that valet mode is: The car becomes way too slow, not safe to drive it on a daily basis, for example when you have to overtake another car or for the Autobahn. 0-100 kph in 16 seconds or so, even for a beginner not really great...and safe.

I honestly don't know what to get him: My Lambo dealer found me a brand-new VW GTi TCR (fully loaded car, worth almost 50k) lease for 300 EUR a month (no down payment), a real bargain but this car is too fast for a beginner. Smiley There were some 200 EUR a month leases for less powerful GTi models but even these cars were too fast in my opinion. 

Maybe we should start a whole new discussion thread on "what first car to get your kid". Smiley Smiley
