I will need to get my first car soon and I have been thinking about different options. my budget is 10k. obviously I want some sporty manual 2seater but I will be sharing it with my sister, so it will need to be an automatic 4 seater ( not necessarily 4 doors). I have been looking for different cars like a Miata, mr2, 350z, integras, but they either have only 2 seats or aren’t “safe” enough. (My mom is big on safety so it makes this a hard one) if you guys would NOT recommend the celica at all what other suggestions for similar butbsafe cars do you have. (I don’t want to hear the “get a corolla or a civic that’s reliable and good in the long run, unless the civic is like a clean year+model)
