[quote=Anonymous]I say get the car now. We bought the new Cr-V primarily for my firstborn to drive when he was that age.  He drove his brother to HS last two years.

I always considered it 'his car' even though we never told him it was his. We have a very old car 2006 that we use for very short trips, non-highway and then a larger SUV and the newer Cr-v.

Boy, those last years it came in handy.  There were times when husband needed a car, I was using one to drive brother to a far-off game or nightly practice and older son was using one to drive to his practices in different location...and we live in a very walkable/metro-accessible area.  Older son's friends also were short drives--but not close enough to bike, walk and they weren't near metro--so used it a lot then and for a summer job at sports camps that had different locations around the DMV.

I also felt safe with him in a brand new safe car ---not worrying about breaking down and better safety features, back-up camera.

He will take it next year as a college sophomore---though possibly even this year we might drop-it off due to a sport that requires travel not supported by the university (outside the university).  For now, he was doing bus line, zipcar and uber.  [/quote]
