What is the best first car for a teenager?

A beat up Volvo running on 3 cylinders.

1. It's safe.
2. Low power = slower driving.
3. It's safe against STD's and unwanted pregnancies (no one can get laid in a beat up rusty volvo)
4. It'll save them money. No one wants to put $4000 spinners on a beat up volvo.

An older car in good condition. Talk with an insurance agent to see which makes and models are the least expensive to isure.

I would get them a 10 year old Buick. Safe enough and reliable enough for a teen as well as cost effective.

No sports cars, no SUV's, no "cool" cars.

Of course, I think the kid should buy his or her own car, but that's a whole different question, LOL

A low cost mid sized car like a taurus or camry. Make sure the car has all the saftey features air bags etc...as studies show the leading cause of death for teens are vehicle accidents. You dont want your son or daughter driving in a Kia Rio when they hit a Hummer or Expidition

A small Economy car, New with a good waranty and good gas mileage. The are light on the wallet and you wont have to worry about too many speeding tickets!

It really depends on your budget then you can find one for you. But things I would definitely make sure the car has is:

- anti-lock brakes
- not too powerful
- front wheel drive or all wheel drive if you
live in an area where it snows
- look at the safety ratings for the car on
www.safecar.gov I would personally get the safest
car in my budget.
