Top Cars For Teenagers

original ranker Car Lists  216,579 views 74 items 17 followers
A list of top cars for teenagers, based in part on results provided by US News, but ranked by you, the public. What are the best cars for teenagers? All types of cars have been included. Parents and teenagers may often differ on car choices, but with so many vehicle makes and models available, a compromise can be found. What are the best cars for teens? Teenagers are new to driving, so they're also at a higher risk for automotive incidents (aka crashing). Teenagers are also known for not having much money as well as moving to and from school. With that in mind, safety, affordability and practicality are all important. The automobiles on this list balance all three of those. If you have any suggestions please feel free to add them to the comments below! Check out this list of the cheapest cars to insure for more details.

      TO justsayin, a rav4 is far from a truck. A good truck for a new driver is an s-10.

      I wouldn't be caught dead in one of the jap cars on this list. You couldn't pay me to drive a rice rocket. Cars today have no styling and computers don't belong on cars. Older American cars for the mid 80's and back were safer and much more powerful. New safety features are just put in to offset the fact that they make cars out of plastic and fiberglass today. Screw gas mileage and the yuppies that care about it, performance is what counts. Afour cylinder is four cylinders too small

      I'm not sure which is worse, the list itself or the comments. First of all, the Ford Mustang IS on the list, it's 3rd. The Dodge Challenger is 6th, so Matthew 333, FAIL! And there are trucks, the RAV4 is 29th. They aren't going to have Ford F350's because most teenagers don't drive them. Teenagers generally like sports cars. Although the comments are just awful, the list itself is HORRIBLE. Did anyone notice the Kia Forte? (Well it shouldn't even be on the list, but...) The Kia Forte is on the list twice, numbers 19 and 32. WTF?

      ok first a sports car may appeal to a teen driver it will be extremely high. next there arent any trucks or large suvs because of the fact that they have such a high rollover rate. finally this list is crap, it promotes the teenager by saying that its a good idea to get a sports car, which is fine except the unknowing parent that buys one for thier child and is completely shocked by insurance price. THIS LIST IS CRAP!!!!!

      These cars suck, they're all made of plastic and crush like tinfoil in crashes. Get something American pre 1986.
