Jeep Wrangler for a teen

[Anonymous]

Is it an atrocious choice? Would be a few years old. It is ds's dream car.

You're looking at atrocious in the rear-view mirror. Yes, I know plenty of teens drive those. But no, it's irresponsible and offensive.

If you got the money for it, then fine? The two doors have pretty good all around visibility and are fairly maneuverable for modern SUV's.

Many of the older wranglers do not have safety features, including cameras/back up sensors. I would not put my child in this position given how high up the wrangler is and they could easily hit a child/animal. We have one and I will not let my children drive it.

Irresponsible b/c not safe? How offensive?

The old ones didn't need backup cameras/sensors because you can just turn your head around and see. Modern cars have this stuff because they're so gigantic and have such poor visibility they basically require them.

I don't mean very old!! I mean 2019-2020 most likely. That's the years that look pretty affordable for us (under 30k) and not too high in terms of mileage.

1. All vehicles that sit high have terrible stats on collisions with pedestrians. The line of sight is all wrong to see shorter moving objects.

2. Rollover risk.

3. You really want to thumb your nose at environmental efforts? Don't buy that crap and be a hypocrite. Own the fact you don't care about global warming whatsoever, and don't care about people dying every year around the world from heat (direct cause).

So what is left, Tesla? A no for most people.

Let the boy have some fun in an impractical vehicle with the top down in the summer before all cars are some sort of boring electrical appliance

Agreed. My friend had one in high
School. Got in a horrible accident and had to have her entire face reconstructed after it flipped. Never.

Have an old Wrangler and let my teens dive it. Better visibility in it than other cars and they are safe. I have tried to drill into them how careful they have to be given that it is almost literally a tank.

That's what it says, OP.

Telling teens to be careful while giving them a Wrangler?


You don't actually care, PP. About their safety, or other people's. Or the environment.
