After graduating highschool I began University in a different town. I often go back to visit friends and when I do I usually drive. A whole day of driving around would take up about 1/10th of the tank, which is only around 4$ for this car. The car is very inexpensive and the cost of maintaining as well as fuel are economical as well. As a first car I definitely recommend this for teenagers and such, even though buying a nice sports car might be tempting.
