Why don't you reread the first post, what's the first question asked?

The way I see it, a reckless 17 year old is going to drive any car he has fast and hard. Sure It may take him longer to get up to dangerous speeds, but he'll still get there. That's how I got my parents to let me buy one (at 17). If I was going to be stupid and drive excessively fast, I could do it in a Civic. However, I do understand there is the added temptation to drive more recklessly due to the power of our car..

I got my G used when I was 17. Paid for half of it + insurance + gas + maintenance. I babied the car, did all maintenance and drove carefully (for the most part). After a year of driving the car I didn't get any tickets or accidents. Then I totaled the car twice in a matter of 3 months, not trying anything stupid, just not paying enough attention...
I still don't regret buying it, it's a great car and I still drive it and love it. G's are fast but controllable, and very safe (neither my passenger nor myself were injured in any way in the accidents).
If your son contributes to the car, I don't see a reason not to buy one. Just make sure he drives carefully and takes care of the car.

My son is going to be 17 years old and this looks to be his number one choice of car...
awesome!!
he shows me many mods and pictures of this car everyday.
He showed him mods, which means he already know what hes going into.
Do you think this is a good car for him?
Is it a good car? i could be wrong but i doubt he asking about stunting/drifting/fishtailing. Since he already mentioned mods above im assuming hes already aware of RWD and its power. I'm pretty sure he was asking if the car is reliable or is it trouble
he's a very good driver.
OP on a side note, mods+17 CAN NOT be good, nor responsible.
What are some pros and cons about this "whip"?
This is the part were we can discuss the car power and how it could be too much for him. But nearly everyone who replied in this thread was discussing the price of this car and how he should pay for it and what not

That being said. This car got me so far into modifying things that I won't buy anything that can be modded without modding it.
Ask my '09 YFZ waverunner and '07 SRT8 Jeep.
