[quote=Anonymous]My almost 16-yr old-daughter is saving to buy her first (probably slightly used) car.  For the next 2 years, she will use in mainly for driving back and forth to school and sports practices.  She will then need it for college (maybe not the first year, since freshman often don't bring cars).

Any tips from someone who has been through this recently with their teen?  She wants a convertible.  I've never had one and don't know much about the pros and cons.  I think a little, easy-to-park car would be helpul.  Or a Highlander with 4WD.  We will check the safety and reliability ratings of any car, with Consumer Reports.  But as far as practicality, I am looking for some starting points.

I have also considered having her drive our old, reliable second car until she is figures out where she will go to college.  Then we will know what area of the country she will be in, and whether she will need 4WD.

Any other things I am overlooking?  What are the pros/cons of a convertible?   Thank you![/quote]
