if price were no object, what car would you get a teen driver?

[Anonymous]

And I don't mean a BMW although I am sure there will be people who respond with that answer . Price is an object for us but with new car prices being so close to used, we have abandoned the idea of spending under $15k. Cars I had considered reasonable first cars - gently used corolla, subarus, etc - are still upwards of $20k so I am broadening our search to include new and am trying to get an idea of what is out there. Thanks.

We are buying ours a Hyundai Elantra SEL for graduation from high school. She got a free ride for college and she needs a car to get to the barn and it is 13 hours away.

Either a VW Jetta, or Subaru Crosstek with all additional safety features!

My son is getting my Subaru ascent and I will get a new car- I’m happy with that as his first.

Prius. Good tech, reliable, good gas mileage, but won't be the Party Bus.

Mazda 5 or Honda CR-V

Too tiny for me in a crash. We are going with an SUV - Jeep or VW probably.

So the roads get ever more dangerous. Maybe our grandkids can all drive tanks!
