Should you buy a Skyline for a first car?

[morboost]

youll crash it mate dont kid yourself i had a trx s3 for my first car went all right crashed in thought glad is wosnet a skyline got an r33 know. skyline+wet roads+ps= death that simple no mater how good a driver you think you are which your not cause you got no experiace the arse end will come around and bite you it will happen be warned

[memphis]

what is it with this whole anti p plate + skyline attitude?

not saying im a good driver or something...but I have had my skyline for 8 months and I havnt had trouble parking it, and anyone can lose a car in the wet, not just younger drivers.

Saying that, I havnt caused a dint in any of the 4 cars ive owned in the past 2 years.

Although, some younger drivers DO think they are the king of the road, and do have accidents, but please dont cast generalization on everyone

good luck paying for your insurance for newer turbz, it aint cheap

i pay 3800 a year for a gtst 33. hahhaa .. :uh-huh:

[coco69]

my first car and current car is a skyline.

totally depends on the driver. all my mates similar age are smashing their hi-po cars left right and centre, but not me. ya got tha power, ya dont always gotta use. but its there if ya wanna

[antuanstylar]

3800 is a killa, but on the brighter side if things your car is an absolute peach!!! nice car HKSgtst

i had a 180sx when i was 16 ( on my Ls) and now i got a 32 being nealli 18

i dinged my first car pretti bad...=(

but i learnt somethin from it

Theres just one problem with buyin a skyline........ U CANT GET MUCH BETTER!!!!!

[G0DF4Th3R]

i never had a single accident with my Skyline when i was on my P's

IMHO - the only person who can tell if you're ready to own a Skyline is yourself. maturity behind the wheel does not neccesarily come with age.

it depends on how you well you control the car.

People tends to buy skyline to do burn out and drive it fast.

get a non turbo one for the first car.

That's my suggestion

i had a dog and his name was BINGO!

its all up to the driver.

if your first car is slow you won't know as you are getting used to acceleration and the characteristics of an engine. give yourself time to learn and get confidence before you buy a powerful car.

i had an older supra, learnt in it, gave it a gool 'ol caining and spun it a couple of times, but never crashed.

now i'm almost 21 and have had the line for 6 months and i think i can drive responsibly and can handle the power - but not back then.

so in response to the thread i think an R31 non-turbo is a great first car allowing you to save for an r32gtst to get when you are ready...

just my 2c

yeh do knock all p platers just cause u were a bogan on ya p's, i got my skyline for my first car and nothing has happened to it at all. it all depends on the person, i got mates who i would never ever let near a turbo car or anything near fast because to put it frankly they really suck as drivers. but others are really mature so its up to each person.

saying that if u get a skyline for ya first car, u'll crash it and kill your self is a load to crap. you can kill yourself in anything its just easyer with a turbo. but its all up to the driver. wat people lack to understand is not everyone goes through the bogan p plater stage.

on an ending note - i believe what you first learn to drive with and drive the most really helps in the way u drive. alot of mates i know with shittie cars dont give a crap what they do to it so they just dont care. but the ones that drive there olds car for awhile or have there own nice cars that they had to work for ect. they repect it so much more and would be alot more carefull.

so in the end its up to the person u cant tell them what to do.

I got a r32 and im on red Ps and Its my first car too... had a few accidents but never anything big simply one of those learn ur lesson things which cost me money to fix and also i had my rear windscreen smashed by ****in bogans. If the driver is good and responsible its no problem to have a first car as a sports car. But there are people that will envy you and therefore you have to be careful (from my own experience) for your own sake as there are many stupid ****ers who will attempt anything to make themselves feel better.

i bought my 32 just befoe i tuned 18 now im 19 what can i say im still alive and havent had any crashes , so take it easy dont over generalise you sound like my local police officer when he pulls me over and asks wtf am i doing driving a skyline. its not the age its the maturity of the driver that maters

very true. so how much maturity does an 18 yr old have? i'm 25 and i have very little and looking back at when i was 18 makes me wonder how i never killed someone or myself...
