What is the best car to buy for 16-year-old boy?

Answer 1

Something safe... 4 doors with airbags. That would make the insurance cheaper, especially if it's a somewhat older model. Also, it's nice to have a safe car for that first wreck. I agree completely with the above answer. Safety is a primary consideration. Avoid tiny 4 cylinder cars and small sports cars. A larger (mid-size) sedan will be safe and practical...something like a Chevy Malibu or Impala. 4 doors aren't sporty, but he'll be glad he has them. Go for a V-6, enough power to merge safely onto the highway but not a race car. Also, the v-6 will be good on gas and insurance (as mentioned above). If you're looking for a used car, you might want to consider a 6 or 7 year old luxury car - they tend to be affordable, nicely equipped and well-maintained with lower than average miles.
