Subaru, maybe forrester or outback wagon. I look for rear/blind spot visibility. I cant stand small SUVS that cover most of the corner panel in the back so you have major blind spots.

If the side mirror of a car has one of those added circle mirrors on it, I run. That means the blind spot is real bad.

Our new driver got the oldest car in our "fleet": a 16 year old hatchback with over 220k miles on it.

If you've got the money, buy as much safety as you can.

I have a 2019 Subaru Forester with all the safety features - it will be the car DS will use when he starts driving next year. I see the safety features as additional precautionary supports.

This is what we plan to get my teenager once she has a permit. A 10-year-old one is about $8-10 grand right now.

+1 I’m buying one next year with the plans to hand it to my child in 5 years

Honda CR-V- not a new one

If you need the car to avoid accidents for you, you probably shouldn’t be driving.

Sure, buy your first time driver a $40K+ car that has shaky build quality and can go 0-60 in 5 seconds. SMH.
