What's the best car for high school students in the 11th grade?

Question

I am willing to pay up to 20,000 for a car for my daughter. I want to know what reasonable cars there are for a new (young adult) driver. The cars must be reliable and with good safety features and good gas mileage.

Answer 1

You're the parent, do what you want, but I wouldn't buy a new one. ) I just bought a Ford Crown Vicoria for with 15K for 14000 - just half a new one's cost!!  I would go with four doors  and a low theft rate ( for insurance purposes-save all you can this girl is close to college!!)  Some good choices would be the Ford Fusion or Crown Victoria ( it gets 25-27 and will burn E 85 if a Flex Fuel model, the hundya (sp?) sonata, the honda accord, the toytoa carolla, or the chevy malibu......good luck

Answer 2

Answer 3
