[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've driven wranglers for almost 30 years and comfortably passed one down to my daughter (and will be getting one for her little sister soon). They are plenty safe if you drive them properly. If they scare you, don't drive one and don't give them to your teen. They are not terribly practical or comfortable but they can go places and do things that your Volvo can't. Plus, there is nothing better than taking the doors and top off and enjoying a warm, sunny day driving on the beach. [/quote]

OP here. It’s not that I’m worried about her driving it safely. I’m worried about somebody else driving in safely and hitting her.  And flipping the wrangler.   Or the airbag not deploying.  Or the passenger hitting the roof.  All the things the IIHS notes.  [/quote]

You can say no.  Jeeps are no longer cheap options.  So you can certainly get something far more practical and safer for the same price.  To opt for the jeep would mean you are prioritizing being the 'cool parent' over rationale needs and the safety of your kid and his/her friends.  Don't think for a moment your child is the unicorn who will never speed or make bad judgment driving... fun is something 95% of kids don't expect and get from their first/second car, and that's usually for good reason
