[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's your call, OP.

But I will say this: Jeeps are not that safe and not that reliable. IDK if that's a wise choice for a first car.[/quote]

Putting aside the cost (which IME is ridiculous for a teen) this is not a safe car. The kid who lived across the street from me when I was growing up was given one for his birthday, wrecked it and was killed.

My kids will get used, reliable-- but for a teen driver in this area, most of all safe. [/quote]

By that logic, why buy your kid a car at all.  Make them wait till they are done with school and use yours.  Then, they can buy their own.[/quote]

Can you read? My actual logic would be not to buy a new driver a car that is such an enormous safety (rollover) risk-- and to value safety and reliability in a teenager's car above bling and giving them a "cool" car.  Because I had a friend who was an athlete, with great grades and dating a nice girl-- who had an amazing future in front of him.  Until he DIED when his new jeep was in a rollover accident.  Did you read that part?[/quote]
