[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son will start his second year of College and will need a car to take to college.

Looking for a nice but boring car, meaning a vehicle that discourages speeding. I see too many kids flying in their Civics, Mazdas and Altimas around.

Looking for something under 10K if possible as we want to pay cash.[/quote]

You can speed and drive crazy in any vehicle - ask me how I know... What you should consider is: how well does the vehicle handle - breaking, maneuvering, (even) acceleration; safety - what happens to the occupants if they get into an accident; creature comforts - realistically hands free features so the kid can concentrate on driving.

Getting a "boring" vehicle that has bad handling and acceleration can absolutely do the opposite of what you want - your kid might be in a situation where these are exactly the reasons they lose control.

Teaching you kid proper driving techniques (and maybe monitoring their driving) is a much better solution. Just find a "regular" vehicle that's reliable and safe.    [/quote]
