[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with those who say your kid shoul drive the safest possible vehicle, which usually means the newest one you have or can afford to buy.  New, young drivers lack the experience and skills they may acquire later to avoid some accidents, so the car they drive should be as safe as possible.  That means the latest metallurgy, reasonable mass, and electronic tech possible, especially automated emergency braking but also features like lane change warnings.

A car is not the place to cheap out for your child, nor is it the place to do yourselvef a favor by buying yourself something new at your child's expense.  You need not buy them the latest BMW or Mercedes, but should ensure they drive the safest car you can afford for them, assuming they lack the ability to buy their own up-to-date car.  [/quote]
I tend to agree, yet not having some features requires more attentiveness and spatial awareness, both of which are very important for learning to drive. Blind spot monitor is great but should not solely be replied upon, for example, and neither should cross traffic alert.[/quote]
