The fact a 16 year old is shopping for a car based on its' 0-60 speed, ..should be a clear sign as to what they intend on doing with it.
I also agree with the earlier answer regarding top speed.
When I was 16 my goal was to get 0 to top speed as fast as I could, as many times as I could.
Get your kid a car with a 4-cylinder reliable engine, and good gas mileage. Speeding around won't be as fun, although they'll still do it, ..plus you/they won't be putting out as much for gas.
4-door, 4 cylinder, atleast 10 years old, and perhaps foreign - hehe. Also Google the cars year/make/model and compare how many bads things it has with your other choices. Many cars, like Pontiac DOHC 4-cylinders.. although 4 with good gas mileage.. are HORRIBLE cars, and can cost $1000+ to replace the cylinder heads which will HAVE TO be done eventually. Alot of cars have these faults, ..unfortionately many American from the 90s do. |

It's not too fast. My first car at 16 was a twin turbo nissan 300ZX that do 0-60 in bout 4.5 since it had work done to it, but remember that with acceleration, goes gas mileage. I know teenagers don't think of that all the time, but with how gas is goin up don't go for HP right now. |

0 to 60 in 7 seconds is acceptable, but what i would really look for is the reliability and safety of the car, not the performance power. |

This may be controversial, and I hated people saying this when I was young , but, there should be a limit on the H.P of a car dependant on age. I hate myself for saying this, but, most accidents are caused by speed or alcohol, which seems to be the preserve of the young! |

Acceleration doesn't matter nearly as much as top speed, it doesn't matter if it takes him 20 seconds to get to 60 mph, he's still going to speed. |

Not advisable, although it's for the personal thrill. I only advise such if you're going on an open motorway. |

for a new driver i would get a really safe car and not care about the speed as long as you can trust the 16 year old to be mature and not speed |
