There are too many reasons for a new driver to buy a Delorean as a first car to list them all. Among my top ones is the terrible lack of clear vision especially to the rear and because the car is so low, many of the taller vehicles won't see it in their side view mirrors. Without some experience so you know where all of the blind spots are and what to expect from other drivers, the chances are very high you will get into an accident. The Delorean does not have aibags or ABS. Forget about actual fixing up of the car, a newbie driver needs as safe a car as they can afford. A 2 seater with limited cargo space is not a practical car as a daily driver. When (not if) the car breaks down, even if you can fix it, you will have to order parts and wait for them so what are you going to drive till you can fix it? You asked for opinions, this is mine.
