Need Teens Opinion On Cars

HERE'S the problem.  I offered my kid sister (16 years old) my VW Golf Car and promised to fix it up, paint it (her choich on colour), PAY for fuel and Inshurance and take the time to teach her to drive it (cause its stick shift).

Now shes gotten pissed off at me for some reason and i dont know why???  I admmit the car is UGLY and VERY slow and stickshift can be intimidateing whe your a new driver.  BUT i dont carer if she blows the clutch and toasts the trans i can fix it i was trying to be nice and get her on the road as i soo wanted at her age.

The only reason im offering her the car is cause when i was her age my grand father gave me his POS that was falling apart i paid and got it road worthy and drove for a year and was proud as could be to OWN my OWN car.  Now for her my grandfather nor my parents are in a positin finacily or visically to do the same for my sister and i felt bad. 

Being as i got a new job ALOT closer to home i figured i can do witout my daily driver and could give it to her for her first car and even fix it up to look half decent. 

Her response was basically that its a old POS and not Automatic and is ugly and worthless. 

Am i just getting old her or is she NUTS.  Hell free wheels a 16 sounds great to me and though it was a great idea for her. Instead she gets pissed at me and tells me i should get ride of my ugly POS and fix my dads car for her a 200 ford explorer with ALOT of miles (too mutch work needed and i cant afford to do it needs an engine and trans(soon), 4x4 hubs, and some electronic work) not too mention its a pig on fuel and pretty expensive to inshure?

Just wanted some opinions see if maybe im nuts?

Heres a pic of the cr im offering her:

If her other option it to walk, I'd take the car.

I dont think it would look bad hot pink. Any car is better than no car.

Kids are just greedy today. My first ride was a mini van. At least she can get a car.....

It looks alot better than the bashed '71 Pinto I had when I was 16. Tell her not to look a gift horse in the mouth or she'll end up with a bus pass instead.

That thing probably get like 30 mpg around town right? that'd be an awesome car at 16

If she told me that i would immediatley take the offer back. If shes going to be greedy she doesnt deserve it.

i'd drive it. it probley gets better MPG than my SUV does...

I mite be getting a Bronco for my 15 birthday. But I have to pay insurence and gas, my parents are buying the actual car though (right now the one I might get is $2975)

Dude, shes lucky to have a bro that will do that for her.

I have to buy my first car, pay for insurance and fuel and any of the work that needs to be done that I cant do myself

That car is not that bad, there are no 6 inch rustholes everywere, the paint looks clean. woulnt look bad with grey or black rally stripes. Need a 16 year old brother that rides a motorcycle and likes to work on stuff like engines? Ill take that car off your hands lol

Or beat some sence into her and tell her to pay for her own car, buy insurance, fuel and repairs.

Heh, I don't think it is ugly at all.
