The problem with these kinds of threads are that every car maker will have it's horror stories and equally people who have never had a problem at all. So saying buy French (bahahha, sorry) or saying buy Toyota or Nissan (GTI first car, again, bahahahha) or Ford cause I've never had a problem, really doesn't mean much.
You need a cheap car so search for you price range, not a particular make or model, see what you can get then check out the website clubs that are around for that car and look for the common problems.
When I was looking for my first car, I searched for the money I could spend (about £500) then settled on a few makes/models I liked and went to see loads of them.
Just do the basic checks: HPI, check oil, water, tyre wear, check for leaks, if the engine bay has been cleaned it could be to hide something so double check things like that. Listen for knocking or tapping noises on a test drive, try and do some full lock turns and listen for noises (drive shafts) see if it tracks in a straight line, not pulling to one side. Check the height or the brakes, hand brake lever and clutch pedals for signs of wear/life left. Try and get long tax and MOT's cause that's an expense to try and avoid just in case it goes tits up.
There are more so if anyone has them....

Don't any advice from Jakg and you should be fine.
When I was looking for my first car I took my brother with me when I went to see them. Moral support, he brought more cars than me and he used to be a mechanic. If you know someone like that grab em by the balls.
....oh and be realistic
eeerrrrr, yeah.

Fine, god damn.
If Eddie Murphy was white he'd use he white background experiences in the same way he used he black background experiences to make his comedy.
He is a comedian. Mostly they use experiences to make the funnies, mostly.
No more talkie, talkie to you. It hurts my brain to read what you say.
I dunno what to say to you, you just talk shit, sorry.
eeeerrr, you talk shit.
caps lock. WTF!
Guy, what the hell are you on about? Did you get hit i the head or something today?
Like has been said, you geared down too fast. If you watch the replay every time you gear down the rpm goes into the red, it's only a little but over more laps it breaks the engine.
You need to brake more (use less engine braking) and leave a longer time between shifts.
...cough, wasn't the set, cough, cough.......
Really enjoyed that was a great thing to come back to LFS with.
Got a nice start and managed to go with the leading group, racing was really clean and close and slowing picked up the pace.
Got really tight when people started fighting for position and we all bunched up, was about 5 people, sweet! Went for a pass on Pingo but my rear tyres were hotter than a realised so we I hit the brakes that little bit harder the rear swung round and I hit him, we lost a bit of time but nothing more, sorry guy.
Then Fwanky caught us up and I made an awesome block to box him in when we got a tow from Pingo, he was screaming at me on teamspeak to move over, move over, just made it more funny to not let him out, lmao.
Pingo timed out tho a few laps later, was shaping up for a good fight as well
Rest of the race was just trying to catch 4th and 5th but they were that little bit to fast and I couldn't get them. Got a PB on the last lap trying though and got me into the 33's finally.
Great round, can't wait for the next

God damn this cheap sarcasm detector!
stupid thread btw, sorry.
...yeah. Thats pretty much blah, blah buy this RAM as you really need it to get the most out of your Intel/AMD system balls.
You can change the RAM voltages and timings in the bios to what ever you want so don't over think it, buy what you want.
The RAM sitting in my Intel system is at 1.8v. I had to change it (and the timings) becasue my motherboard didn't detect the correct settings.

Yes and no.
Yes, get any DDR3 RAM and it will work.
No, you don't match the CPU and RAM voltages, they are seperate.
Some times you might need to tweak the voltage and timings for RAM as the motherboard might not set the correct settings automatically.
It doesn't matter, just because it's an nvidia chipset doesn't mean you have to use an nvidia card. You can use any card you want, the chipset is universal.
Guy, you started this thread on the 9th and you still don't even know your local track, hardly a good start to your clearly epic racing career that would require masses of time, dedication, motivation, money and drive.
I have no idea how you would start, there has been lots of advice but maybe you should try going to a karting track/centre, one of those where you and your mates go to race each other and actually try it, they might even have a league or organised events.
Talk to Leprerkuan, he was going to be the next F1 champion.
Getting kicked in the bollocks is way more painful.
Thats got nothing to do with it. Only going to spend more if you're buying people vouchers.
Maybe about £26, paid for a few high-res skins. Not counting the cost of the wheel as I use that for loads of other games.
No.
It doesn't matter, no one can do anything so just

Holy shit balls! I'm gettin a wild sense of Déjà vu!
There are going to be lots of armchair heros suggesting what to buy/what not to buy which is basically useless, unless they suggest something you've not thought of.
What you really need is useable info about the cars you like from someone who has one. Running costs, problems, insurance that kind of thing.
Posting a Subaru is nice but I know for a fact they are not cheap to run and don't get great MPG.

If you have to ask if you should buy it then I'd say, no.
