Terry,
I am a big proponent for the Subaru as the best teen car, especially where
we live. It is super reliable, gets in the mid 20s for gas mileage and
the AWD can't be beat in the snow and ice. It is not unusual to see them
running around with 175k on them. I bought a 97 outback wagon for my 16 yo
daughter and she loves it. It has 134 k and we have put nothing into it
other than routine maintenance. I would recommend any car you buy for a
teen have ABS and front airbags for safety because they will make mistakes.
Don't spend a lot because they will hit things. Not a matter of if, it's a
matter of when. I have been thru this twice so I speak from experience.
I was about to suggest the same thing. I first discovered Subaru's in the
Outback in Australia. I asked the locals why they were so popular.The answer I
got was their reliability. Wioth sometimes 400 miles between towns, a highway
failure could be fatal.
I noticed in the latest consumers reports annual buying guide, used Subarus
(at least the Forester) are recommended for every single year model ever
made.
We have a 2007 Forester and drive it much more than our luxury German car
(which frequently has $3000 failures!)..
