Fwiw we finally decided on Mazda CX-30: same price as Mazda 3 roughly but a little bigger and higher.

This. My husband is counting down until the kid gets their license so he can give them the 13-year-old Toyota Sienna, and he can get his new car. The Sienna is easy to drive and safe.

Makes sense until mom and dad drive teslas, Porsches and range rovers. You want your kid driving one as their first car?

That's one way to get out of paying for college. Those are three death traps for kids.

Small sports cars have killed many kids. Have been for years. Small cars get crunched what hit by a SUV or truck. Simple physics!! Just go on YouTube and type in civic accident.

We bought a Ford Bronco Sport. A newer used car costs as much as a new car these days, so we bought new. I would not buy anything older because I wanted the most up to date safety features.

I rolled my civic in college and walked away. Totaled the car but didn’t have a scratch on me.

I love those but way outside our budget.

Mazda3 has perfect safety scores

We were looking for a few years old car for our teen daughter to drive and found we could buy a new Honda HRV and it had all the safety features that our cars have (blind spot indicator, front sense system that stops the car if an object is in front of it, rear camera).

The insurance premium for her tp be the primary on that new car is cheaper than the insurance for our to be a a secondary driver on our other two European cars.

They only test against stationary targets and equal mass cars.

PP is correct, you will be at severe disadvantage with the super heavy SUV and electric cars with twice the mass.

We were going to get a civic until realize just how heavy all these electric cars are (SUV’s were already a concern but now that).

Let the kid pick something out. If they love it they will take care of it. Buy them something that you think is sensible and they won't care what happens to it.
