1. GlitterSTARZbluE Says: Im sitting my test soon an want to start looking for a first car I just dont no whats reliable an what isnt , im not lukin to spend lots just an average price. Would be grateful for any advice.

2. GM Customer Service Says: Dear GlitterSTARZbluE,

I recommend the Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Cobalt or the Chevrolet Aveo. These vehicles are reliable and get good fuel economy. If you are seeking a vehicle that is new, I also recommend researching the Chevrolet Cruze or the Buick Regal.

If you are seeking a dependable used vehicle you can visit www.gmcertified.com. On this site you can input your zip code, make, model and the price range that you are seeking to stay within. Once you have inputted that information into the system, you will be able to view the inventory of cars that your local and surrounding dealerships have.

If you have further questions, please direct message me.

Sincerely,
Michelle-GM Customer Service

4. Phil Van Tassel Says: I once owned a 1997 chevrolet cavalier. Maybe its not the coolest car out there, but I would venture to say its one of the most dependable. Good gas mileage too! Mine got 39 MPG, and the only thing I ever had to change in it was the thermostat. Thats about an $8 part. You can get them fairly cheap too! Small and easy to handle. Easy to drive. For a beginner car, I would give it an A+!
