Go the SSS dude, they're good on fuel, easy to drive and best of all they stick to the ground really well! Just make sure if you get one, get the N14, all the rest suck. Go a 94 mod if you can get one for 8k, doubt it though. You can do it up a bit too, and, if you're like a mate of mine, drop a SSS turbo bluebird motor into later on... Depends what your after, but I think that the SSS is a sweet ride for a first car, the only drawback is it's FWD (no burnouts) and gets a bit crowded with 3 in the back. (only my opinion though)
