depends on what you mean by "Your First Car"
I was 19 before i had one in my own name,
a 93 Corsica, 2.2l 4cyl (Mom's old car,which she replaced with a brand new 99 Taurus, 3.0 Vulcan) but only had it for a month, before gramps passed, and i got his car, (87 Olds 98, 3.8l V6)with the Corsica going to my big sister.
before that i split my drive time between the Corsica, or dad's 94 Aerostar, 3.0 Vulcan)

1985 Dodge Omni.
Ugly gray car with red leatherette.
It died one year later (exhaust rusted out). I think my parents were ripped-off when they spent $6000 on that car.
All my future cars I picked myself (instead of letting my parents choose the model), and they were much nicer looking.
might i ask when that was... My folks bought an 85 omni NEW, for $5000. of course it was the most basic of base models silver outside, grey interior, 4speed manual(though it thought it had a 5 speed, sometimes the upshift light would come in in 4th), Peugeot engine,no AC,no power anything, didn't even come with a radio...(dad had an AM only unit installed)
my folks drove it until '90, then my brother got it, he moved to Texas clampett style in it in '92, year later my cousin bought it from him, and drove it until about 96-97, at which point the floor pan had rusted out.
