Also think about insurance rates and if she's on her parents policy that may not last for long w/a few tickets. How much does she have to spend? Is she into suv's/crossovers?..i.e ford escape or mitsu outlander sport (seems like a hip suv). If not, a regular subaru legacy or impreza non turbo may do her just fine.

As w/anything, if she is living under her parents roof they have the final say in what she acquires.....even if she is fitting the bill for the car entirely as they may 'decide' to charge her rent down the line...point is you never know. Think about her being in something safe, reliable (that means not getting something at the top of her price line w/ a ton of miles just to get that sporty car), and to me, good in the snow if the need arises. There is plenty of time to get that cool car down the line when she and you have the ability to weigh out all options and have more $ and buyer power (no outside interference and on your own).

Other than actually doing the work performance wise, she loves fast cars and racing at atco. I know she won't go for an SUV/cross over cause she only likes cars or full size pickups.
