Default QUick Help Needed(These Cars Good CHoices for 1st Time buyer???)

Alright I'm planning on buying my first car. I just need something that looks nice, that is reliable, and that can take me from point A to point B. Alright I've looked through AutoTrader and these caught my eye. Are they good choices? I'm paning on going to heck them out later today with my dad. Oh and the less money, the better, since I'm just a 16 year old guy that doesn't get paid all that much =/

2000 Ford Focus LX Sedan

1998 Honda Accord LX Sedan

1998 Honda Civic EX Coupe
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...100&cardist=18

Alright guys. I think all three are alright but I really don't know much about cars. I specially like the Accord, and I really don't know why. So are any of these good choices? Your imput will be greatly appreciated.

The cheapest one out of the bunch would be the Civic.

If it's only from point A to point B then get the cheapest one. It's not brain surgery.

Well then if you want reliability then don't get the Focus. If I remember right there were a bunch of recalls on that model year.
