I want to buy my friend a car, what should i buy?

I want to buy my friend a car, what should i buy? Its gonna be his first car (18 yrs) his fav car is the porsche 911 carrera but its to expensive for a gift. so im thinking of the mercedes c class but he's a big guy is that ok? i want to surprise him with something amazing, how bout the dodge challenger, but it looks (to me) like a mustang and he hates the mustang!! I thought about the mini cooper countryman but it look like ****! please help!!|||buying a car is a pretty big decision even when your buying it for someone else. I would suggest taking the friend with you so you can be sure that they like the car that you get. Even though it takes out the surprise it will still be exciting and fun and something the two of you can share doing together. Make car shopping memories and check out all blue book prices to be sure you don't pay too much for the vehicle.|||Let them pick it out.|||Get him a PT Cruiser. It gets all the ladies!
