I say start with a civic or integra. Maybe a 94 or 95. If the mileage is high, don't worry man, its a honda. My first car was a 95 accord and I ragged the shit out of it, barely caused me any problems. 120-135k is a good range to buy a car in if you have a budget to stay in. That way you will probably run the car to about 200k and then might want something different. Learn manual on a cheap car and then later it will pay off. Now that I know stick, I'm ready for my s2000
