My first car was a 1999 Toyota Solara with 160,000 miles on it. It only cost $2,000 and got me from place to place. This is basically what it looked like http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jc/images/99solara.jpg
 
I bought a '98 GMC Jimmy SLS with 89,000 miles about a year and a half ago, which I sold, and I now have a 2006 Nissan Maxima SLE. And I couldn't be happier.

2002 Pontiac Sunfire. I bought it for $200 and the only thing it really needed was some work done on the brakes. I'm quite happy with it.

My first car was this sweet Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale (can't remember the year somewhere between '85-'90) that I picked up for 300 dollars from this bartender. It had well over 350,000 miles on it, but I still managed to get 3 years out of it, before I sold it to some dude for $200 as is. I definitely got my money's worth out of the thing.

 

 We called it the
 We called it the "Poopmobile"

Nothing like having a big stinky car as your first.

I got an '88 Taurus when I was seventeen for $2000. Piece of crap but it got me around. My '91 Cutlass has served me much better. Too bad they don't make Oldsmobiles anymore.

1986 Toyota Van, some models called the "Van Wagon". The engine was located under the front seat. It had no front end whatsoever, and driving it gave a great sense of speed even though it was as slow as shit. I was always sure that if I got in a bad head on collision in it I was going to have my legs cut off. 
Man I loved that van. I'd still be driving it today, ten years later, if severe electrical problems hadn't put it out of commission.

Nissan Cherry 1983 (well not my first car since I've never had one, but the first car I remember my family having). Not the car on the picture, ours was red and only had two doors.

1988 Cutlas Cierra, 14 yrs old when I got it for a song.  Lasted years, required next to no maintenance (even though I went way too long between oil changes).

'94 Renault Clio made to look like the 2.0L Williams special edition but really a 1.2L monster. Served me well for years till I rolled it and wrote it off, kept the gold alloys and put them on my company Astra.

@Buck_Sexington:  A sweet Renault with a moon roof was my third car when I was about 17. Great memories of girls in bras hanging out the top on those warm, summer nights as I drove down those secluded roads.

Toyota Starlet 1L Automatic.

Aint going nowhere fast in this thing, The motor in my sisters hairdryer would be an upgrade. Got it for free as it was my mums beforehand and when she went to sell it, got offered pennies for it. So really I cant complain all that much.

1995 Toyota Corolla.  Manual transmission, was my dad's until he got a new car (shared it briefly with him).  Finally got rid of it after the brake pads went bad.  Actually, the whole thing was falling apart.
 
The first car that was mine alone to drive is my '97 Honda Civic EX.
