Looks good mate for your first car. and congratz on getting maya. This looks very good. You have to be confident in your self when you make a model. Then you will have a sense of pride when your done.

Keep at it!

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Looks good if you ask me. You should definately be proud of that! Looks like you have some tris around the edges of the rear bumper and the base of the spoiler though. If you can get rid of those it should kill those dimples when you smooth.
Excellent work!

It's a good start, but it could definitely stand some tweaking of verts. Is the smooth a subD or a polysmooth? There are some "dimples" due to vertices just slightly off. The opening for the windshield also seems odd... it sort of flares toward the top. Again, a good start, especially on for you first. Four or five more and it'll probably be old hat.
