Toyota Corolla — peppy enough acceleration that it won’t be spooky for a new driver. They are very reliable too and not unattractive.

Have him/her drive Civic or Mazda3 and pick. Both are great starter cars.


Starter cars? How out of touch some of y’all are...travel more.

Thanks, PP. This looks like a really good possibility for us (not OP).

My kid just started driving. He is looking for a reliable used car about 3 to 5 years old to drive for a few years before he upgrades. Something like a Honda Civic or Mazda 3. Any advice on what other similar cars to look at? His budget is under $20k.
