And I'm including the Avalanche, Expedition, Focus, and the New Bug, all of which are hideous beyond belief.Aaaah, I see someone doesn't live in Europe. Have you checked what Renault and Citroen have in stock these days?
As for my first car, it depends. The first car I drove was a '97 brand new Chrysler Voyager (Dodge Caravan for you americans :P), 2.5 Turbo Diesel. My parents were about to buy a new car and my father decided that:
a. I was going to drive it. I could use it for my own amusement, but I'd also have to use it to run errands when they needed me to (and that happened often). Fair enough.
b. It was going to be big. If I could learn to drive that thing (I got my driver's license 1 week after buying the car) and park it in the center of Madrid, I could drive anything, anywhere.
When I moved to Iceland I bought my very own first car, a Mazda 626 2.5 V6 with 170 horsies, loads of fun to drive in the Icelandic wilderness :)

I've been without a car for about a year now, saving some cash and wondering if I shoud do the silly thing and buy a two seater roadster or the sensible thing and buy a four seater big car. Pondering...
