safest car for a teenager

Any used 4 dr sedan with ABS, Airbags and other safety features that is properly maintained. I recommend used due to lower insurance and that they will end up scuffing the bumper covers.

I would pick something like a Camry with a 4 cylinder engine.

If you're looking for an economical wheels, either used or brand new, for your teen, we Subaru Forester models from 2009 that has received top marks in occupant protection from the IIHS and included electronic stability control. Check it out at here at Oregon for better checking.
