i need a recommendation on a car for a 17 year old?

it depends how much you want to spend, but for something a little sporty try theses cars:

acura integra/rsx

honda del sol or accord v6 coupe or civic si coupe

ford taurus sho or focus svt or escort rs/svt

mazda mx6 or rx7

toyota celica

mitsubishi eclipse

dodge srt4

any old bmw

subaru wrx

mercury cougar

nissan spectra se-r v-spec or 240sx

volkswagen gti

saturn ion redline

chevy camaro

mini cooper

If you want something fast and flashy it's going to cost you a king's ransom to insure it at your age. If you want something that's cheap to insure (relatively speaking anyway) get an Accord, Civic, or Taurus.

You want something original... but you love a mustang cmon' there is nothing original about that.

E-mail me some more info about what you like or don't like and how much you can spend. I'm sure I could help guide you to something you might like that qualifies as original.
