I am a bit of a car enthusiast and I'm already thinking about what my first should/could be. My budget is around 3500 - 5000 euro and I live in Romania (a lot of cars are lemons here , but there are gems , though not as common). I want something that is gas (not diesel) powered and preferably over 100 HP. I'm open to suggestions but I try to avoid Mercedes or BMW because of the repair costs and poor reliability due to some incompetent owners. I really just need some suggestions as a soon to be 18 year old driver.
