Here is a list of cars for your teens to choose from. Teens often tend to be rash drivers and are responsible for majority of accidents in U.S. Putting your teen on drive is a tough thing to think about. But when your teen is given a car to drive it expands his/her way of handling situations, going out to places and learning clean driving lessons. It also educates her on different social aspects. So if your teen is looking forward to have a car from you in present, do not hesitate to buy him a one as the following cars are built with safety features that all parents would like.
Cars for teens are concerned with safety, easy to drive, should be reliable and spacious. Go through the list for details.
Smart_Fortwo
Smart Fortwo: Research has proven that the number of teen passengers in a car doubles the chances of an accident. So Fortwo is just for them- A reasonable choice.
The fortwo is a good choice as its inexpensive, easy to drive, good on gas and also includes safety features and packages.
Honda_fit
Honda Fit: In addition to features that it is easy to drive, fuel-efficient, and good at look, it has strong safety features with six airbags and antilock brakes that come standard. It is specifically designed to survive collisions with big vehicle.
ford_focus
Ford is fun to drive because its cute and comes with the SYNC system which allows you to control your iPod and cell phones with voice commands, and will even read text messages out loud which means that you can keep your eyes on the road where you belong.
honda_civic
Civic is fuel-efficient and will last for long if well cared. Its body has a shell to withstand the impact of heavier vehicles. But the electronic stability control is only available on the priciest versions, the EX-L and the Hybrid.
honda-insight
The insight is just a tutor for the teens on how to ride your car eco friendly with its video-game-like dash provides positive feedback for going easy on the gas and easy on the brakes. Though it�s a hybrid it would teach you good driving lessons for new drivers.
Kia-forte
Kia-forte is cheap and really a great car for teens as they will like the Forte�s style and its comfort space. It comes with six airbags, antilock brakes and electronic stability control as standard. It�s really good for those teens that are new to driving as it offers good visibility, simple controls and clearly-marked instruments.
Pontiac_Vibe
With GM planning to close down the Pontiac division in 2010, its unclear how long the Vibe will be available — but I’d get one while you can. The Pontiac Vibe is a great car for people of all ages, but it’s especially well suited to young drivers because it comes standard with with six airbags, antilock brakes, and electronic stability control.
�The Vibe is even available with all-wheel-drive, which offers better accident-avoidance behavior as well as superior traction in rain and snow (and on dry roads, too). The Vibe is good looking, easy to park, and it has plenty of room to bring along friends — plus its hard-plastic-lined cargo bay makes it a great cargo hauler.
Suzuki_sx4
It�s quite interesting to know that SX4 looks cartoonish with a good space. It offers optional all-wheel-drive, a boon in snowy climates. Though SX4s come with lot of airbags and antilock brakes, fuel economy is far from best-in-class, and electronic stability control is only offered on select models. Still it�s a great, fun to drive car.
Nissan-versa
The Versa is a veteran of this list, and to be honest, I’m having mixed feelings about keeping it. On the one hand, the Versa is a heck of a bargain: Pricing starts at $10,710 — you’ll also want to spend the extra $250 for antilock brakes (ABS) — and you can get one with air conditioning, power windows and locks, an automatic transmission, and ABS for just over $16k.
It lacks electronic stability control even as an option.
Subaru_Impreza_2.5i
The Subaru Impreza 2.5i first made this list in 2008 because it was (and still is) the only car in its class to offer standard all-wheel-drive (AWD), an important and oft-overlooked safety feature that helps the car grip the road whether the pavement is wet or dry. In 2009, Subaru succeeded in bringing up the electronic stability control standard as a safety factor. Obviously, AWD and ESC are not substitutes for careful driving, but they drastically reduce your teen driver’s chances of losing control in an emergency.
NOTE: The Impreza 2.5i should not be confused with the Impreza WRX, STI, and 2.5 GT; these are fast, high-performance cars designed for older, more experienced drivers.
