Help Jack find a car for his kid

I still vote m235. Stick an OBDII unit in there with GPS data and you can monitor speeds on roads compared to the posted speed limit. The kid deserves some trust that he’ll abide by the laws, but the additional parental oversight on a nice car like that wouldn’t be a bad thing either.
We all have been told what to do or not do by our parents, and we made our own decisions anyway, and sometimes learned from those choices in the form of consequences.
M235 or bust.

This.
Also if he's an aggressive driver not a good idea to put him in something fast.
Easy. My vote goes for a 2014+ Lexus is350 all day.
They look great (especially if you swing for an F sport), the V6 engine is peppy and fun to drive without being too much and they are dead reliable and cheap to maintain.
They also have a decent aftermarket if he decides he wants to go that route. Insurance will be cheap because Lexus sedan and it likely won’t depreciate more than it already has.

I'm pretty lenient, I've had "fun" cars since getting my driver's license.
He's a responsible kid, a million times more responsible than I was at his age.
He wants something fun and sporty, that looks good...
in the end, he'll take what I give him, so there's that

I bought an ex-girlfriend one (used) when she wasn’t an ex. Copper Red. Fun car, not too much power. But also not too visible on the road with all the trucks and SUVs.
So, what about one of Toybaru twins? BRZ or GT86? Could even teach him to drive a 6spd if he isn’t already familiar.
Edit: just saw the AWD pop up as I posted.

M235 is a riot of a car if you go that way. For something a little bigger (among similar era vehicles, weight and size are generally better for crashworthiness), perhaps an X3 xDrive35 with M Sport package. Similar mod-ability to tinker with, higher seating position, more usability and still relative fun (versus other lux compact SUVs).
Jack could buy 6 Camrys for what I paid for mine. Kid could almost have one for every day of the week.
Don't buy silver, though. Amy had ours at Fed Ex, came out of the store and got in the wrong Camry. She realized it and then had to explain to the owner who was also coming out of Fed Ex. He understood. LOL

I want to say a 5 or 6 series. Jack posted about the car on Facebook. I can't tell from the picture and I am not sure Jack wants a picture of his kid on TCG.
Tell me why it took me this long to notice this existedNick just turned 16 and is in need of a car. Budget is 25kish. Lower obviously better. Search committee, hooooooooooooooo!
I know, I told him to keep me updated on the kart season and the TNT days. And I look in here and they're already scheduled and I've heard nothing. (I would mention him but idk how to do that)
Oh, I see. Ik you gotta use @. Just nothing popped up when I did. But you gotta type in the entire name after.
