i've read the faq .
but im a high school student and this is my first car and my school is about 3 miles far from my house...
im curious about gas mpg.
and how many hours i have to spend on the car.
and how much $ total i have to spend because i have to stick with this car for 4 years.
i've looked at S2000's but i dont like them because its a 2-door.
i've looked at M3 e36.. but i cant find any good deal most of them are 90kmileage+....
im not interested in FWD because i just prefer awd or rwd....

RWD is pretty good.

Look for around 15 to 22 mpg's.

With short 3 mile trips you could be looking at some carbon build up.
Be aware of that....

No one can tell you to the number how much money you'll need to spend because it depends on many outside factors.
You cannot not do basic maintenance and keep this car running well for 4 years so add up the cost of basic things to get an idea.

I remeber my first car.....
