i will be getting my permit soon. and i am starting to save up for my first car. do u think a honda civic would be a good car. i mean i really love these cars. they r awesome. what kind of mileage do they get. do u think this is a sensible choice for a first cari want a good car that is going to be cheaper and is going to last a while. my brother's first car lasted 3 months and my sister's lasted a little over 9. so i want something that will last a lot longer than theirs so i dont have to ask for my parents help when the car dies after a few months
