I Need YOUR Advice (Auto-Topic)

So, I’m about to purchase my first vehicle… But i’d like some wise advice from* all of you experienced car-peoples out there.

What is a good first car/truck?

I want a car, because they get great gas mileage, you can make them go fast, they are easier to control, and they take up less space.
I don’t want a car because they can’t haul big things around (quads/dirt bikes/etc.), they usually don’t have a lot of room inside the car, you can’t go 4-wheeling with them.

I want a truck, because they are big, they can haul things around (dirt bikes/quads/etc.), you can get a lift kit and make them even bigger, and you can go 4-wheeling with them.
I don’t want a truck because they get bad gas mileage, they are more pricey than a car, and they can’t go very fast.

Help?
