TSX's are not particularly good on gas, but the real cost comes from insurance, and that doesn't include maintenance and upkeep.

If I were you I would buy something used (Civic Si sedan?) and tell your dad to put the rest of the money in your bank account/investment.

No better feeling than an extra 10g in the bank.

You're 17 and your dad is anticipating spending $25000 for a car. Why not surprise your dad and buy something cheaper and save yourself and your dad money. It would also show a lot of maturity because you're thinking long-term instead of putting all your eggs in one basket at once.
