What to look for in a teen’s first car
Many parents contribute money toward the purchase of their teenagers’ first car. But even those who don’t help kids finance the purchase
of their first vehicle may still want to offer some advice as their teens start to look for the car they will no doubt remember for the rest of their lives.

Drivers need different things out of their vehicles, so a car that might be perfect for adults will not necessarily be the best fit for teen drivers without much experience tra- versing the nation’s roadways. The following are a few factors to consider when helping teens find their first car.
Size
Teenagers have little to no experience behind the wheel, so it’s best that, right away, they not drive cars that are especially small or large. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, young drivers 16 or 17 years old are significantly over- represented in fatal crashes. The NHTSA

suggests such drivers’ immaturity and inex- perience play a significant role in that over- representation. So parents likely do not want their children in the smallest car possible, as such vehicles, in the case of an accident, may not protect teens as adequately as slightly larger vehicles. In addition, very large cars, such as pickup trucks or SUVs, can be dif- ficult to control and are best suited to older drivers who already have years of driving experience under their belts. A midsize sedan is big enough to protect teens and their passengers in the case of an accident, and such vehicles are small enough to handle easily.
