Car or SUV for a teen!?

Heyy, I'll be turning sixteen in December and I still haven't found THAT car that I really like. My parents are dead set that I need to have something with 4x4 because the Michigan winters are harsh. I want something that looks nice, possibly sporty. My budget is $8,000.00

Thanks for your help!

For your age you should have something not to big nor too small. The 4x4 is good for where you live. Think gas mileage too, as its going up again. Have fun and drive safe!!!

You need to factor in the costs of insurance, maintenance, repairs, etc when looking for a vehicle........don't buy something that looks good, buy something reliable

SUV is a car, buy a small one. Don't buy an old SUV
