So I learned small cars are great as no one hurt. But they total easily. Was a 2017 Chevy Cruze. Really a nice cute car. That daughter just graduated College and car was supposed to go off with next kid.

I then took insurance check bought my self a new car and gave other kid my 2011 Cadillac CTS. Same accident happened again different kid. This time given Cadillac weighs more and is more solid it survived accident.

So there is the fine line between size and safety features.

FYI I did not fix Cadillac, runs fine and no desire to change front bumper and fix debt in fender given a 20 year old is driving it. Hey don’t have to worry about theft!

BTW the Chevy Malibu if want a sedan is a good solid car in a crash. Has some weight to it. But not too big. Lots of used ones out there and they depreciate more than Japanese cars and cheap to fix



I am mostly concerned both your teenagers have been in air bag deploying accidents. They need to SLOW DOWN.

what do you expect from a parent who continually refers to the car she bought her kids as "cute." great priorities there


Safe cars airbags deploy slower speeds. 13 mph will deploy them

We just gave our teen our 2013 Toyota Camry. It has 95k miles on it. Should last at least through high school, probably college. There is no reason a teen needs a new car.
