Need Advice

So I am fourteen years old and I've looked at camaro5 forums ever since I was twelve I just love camaros. But I have a problem my parents say I can get any car I want within the 25,000 range. So I know most of you guys are going to say get a Honda or a Toyota but I need something bigger I am 6'5" and those cars are too small and I'm still growing. I know this is a camaro forum but what do you guys think about the challenger. I want to ask you guys because you are the best forum and have the nicest members that know About cars.

6'5" and a Camero? Eh, I wouldn't do it. You are already buying a two seater as it is, because no one is getting behind you because the seat will be as far as back as possible. Then again, Lebron James has a white Camaro, Tim Duncan and a few more taller guys and they fit.

No to a Challenger or Mustang.

Go test it out and see how you fit.

For 25k, my options would be:

2014 Mazda 6
2013 Kia Optima
2014 Nissan Altima

Haha That's so very ironic because my mom has the 2013 kia optima and my aunt the Mazda 6. but I really prefer something with a little HP and rear wheel drive because of the rain and mud here in florida

6'2" and I can stretch my legs all the way out in my Camaro (A6 no clutch pedal in the way). I drove a mustang and my knees were in the dash. Not sure how a challenger seats though.

Here's another thread like the "Ended up keeping the SS" thread.

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.
