My congratulations! It is really important step in your life. I remember my first car, and it was perfect feelings! I would like to recommend you to read different reviews, opinions and make your decision only after that. As for me, Ford is the best car with a good price. You can get more information about ford explorer sport trac carbuzz.com/cars/ford/explorer-sport-trac . Maybe you will like it to. There are information about other cars too
I disagree here. Ford is known to be faulty, cheaply made and hard to sell in the future. In general I'd stay away from American cars if you can afford it. I'd say you can never go wrong with a Honda or Toyota. If you check Consumer Report - they will confirm it. They are extremely reliable vehicles known to be of high quality. If it's possible - check these out :)
Personally, I often find that I need a quality and modern car for a special occasion, like a business meeting or something like that. And recently I was shown the https://realcar.nyc/, and I was happy to hear about it. I liked their fleet of cars which consists exclusively of premium cars, which is exactly what I needed.
