In all honesty, you should tell your parents to hold on to that money for your college fund. YOU should get a job, earn some money, and then purchase a used vehicle. Something in the $3-5k range.

That would be the right thing to do.
Okay but what car could that be that I can fit in ?

I don't mean you should get the automatic, I'm just pointing out you will need to be more careful when cornering with the manual, especially in the rain.
Yea but I don't really vibe with four doors if you know what I'm saying

Okay Mr ironic, this thread was going right on track with legitimate responses to a good question. You are the reason why threads get polluted with non-camaro nonsense. The OP asked a question pertaining to if he will fit in the camaro due to his height, not a question in reference to making life decisions or what he/his parents should or shouldn't do.
On a side note OP, my 6'3 father can drive comfortably, but I suggest you swing by a Chevy dealer and ask to sit in one and talk about it. They're usually pretty nice, and it's the best way for you to make a decision! Good luck!
Joe

6' 5"? you should still be able to fit in the v6 camaro for $25K - could even get a used SS. who cares if no one fits behind you - if you dont hae kids dont buy for your passengers. just my opinion but if you like the camaro $25K will buy you a camaro

I bet you could pick up an '02 to '04 2wd Trailblazer or Envoy for the price range I suggested.
The last of the Buick Park Aves would be a good choice as would a Crown Vic or Grand Marquis.

Any of these vehicles would be great first cars for a 16 year old. Safe, reliable, and affordable. That's the name of the game for a new driver.

Get a convertible Camaro. More head room.

I did sit in a challenger at the auto show, and if I remember correctly, the space isn't as great as the camaro. For a huge car, the space isn't as generous
