Honda Civic: Best Car for Teen Drivers

While not as hip as some other small cars, the Civic offers attractive styling, good performance and the one thing parents worry most about with teen drivers: safety. An affordable base price, very good resale value, excellent fuel economy and low emissions also make the Civic an excellent choice for parents and teens. The non-Si model has the right amount of power – 140 ponies – for inexperienced drivers. With sure-footed handling, antilock brakes and six airbags – all standard – the Civic doesn’t compromise safety for price. Teens want mobility and parents want their kids as safe on the road as possible -- Civic delivers.
