My best advice as someone who owned a nice brand new car at 16. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT waste your time and money on anything fancy at that age. Seriously what is there to prove?

Get something safe, and more importantly, reliable. Pick up a cheap honda or toyota. Something with ABS and good airbags. Just because you think you drive safely does not mean that everyone else can. This way insurance, which is automatically high at your age, will be reasonable. That and if you get something moderate, gas would be reasonable as well.

But, it is your decision. So do as you wish.
