DON’T BUY FRENCH!
I will try to print more offers for you to choose from.
The New Lancer is nice and the base price is around 5500.

Huda,

Why on earth would anyone buy a Lexus for their kid as a first car? Unless they wanted the kid to grow up with no sense of values.

That first car is going to get dinged, damaged, bent out of shape and generally trashed as the driver learns the hard way the ins and outs of driving in Bahrain. This is not me being harsh, it’s a fact of life.
Driving in Bahrain is bad. It can be very intimidating for someone who is new to the roads and to driving. Hell, even seasoned drivers are reported to be scared driving in Bahrain.

What good would it do to give anyone a ‘posh’ car as a first vehicle?
How often do you read in the papers of 18 year-old kids (or those just a few years older) wrapping an expensive Mercedes/BMW/Lexus/Camaro etc. round a lamp post, or crashing out of control and killing themselves? Regrettably, too many times. What is the ususal reason? Speed and inexperience. And before you mention it, it’s not just the lads.

These sort of cars are very capable of travelling at speeds in excess of the driver’s ability. Add to that a culture that spurns the use of seatbelts ‘cos it ain’t cool’ and you have young deaths on the roads.

Learning to drive in something that is rock solid and safe (though not that ‘cool’) is probably a better way to go. IMHO. Either that or send junior on a couse to learn to drive properly at BIC before getting the test.

I’ll get off my soapbox for now. . .

I think the best car for Bahrain is a 4wd. The best dealership without a doubt is Toyota. Look at the Rav 4 (they have a 2 door version) and the price is quite reasonable or if you want a more deluxe model go for the Lexus.

Try the Cadillac, i own a Cadillac STS and its great to have a very safe & free service (Parts & Labour) for 4 years.

I saw the new Cadillac CTS on the road that day and it’s something i can call Techno-sexy

The short of it: Toyota Corolla

I bought each of my 2 daughters one when they graduated High school 3 & 4 years ago.

After a lot of research, the best car for the money. Here in California they cost about $14,000.

Good Luck

I think a Nissan Altima would be her best bet. It’s a good strong car.
Solid shape and exterior
Good build.
Not plastickey or tin-like in any sense.

But personally I’d go for the full option 3.5 V6 … now thats a goood car. It comes in nice colors too !

I would suggest a camry. Strong, reliable and they come in lovely options to make it look “cool”.
