What car should be suitable for a teenager?

You should consider cars with good crash ratings and a history of being reliable. I like that new Dodge Dart, which is a Chrysler, but if I were in the market for a small, reliable car that's fun to drive, I would be looking at a Mazda 3. If I wanted something larger, a Mazda 6.

I got my first Honda a couple of years ago and it's the best car I ever owned, 2006 Accord 2 door, 6 speed 6 cylinder.

And consider getting a manual transmission. It will make you a better driver. Unless you live in a city, in which case, don't bother.

A 56 Buick Roadmaster. An asteroid strike couldn't hurt that thing.

i like cars that has high mpg, low turning radius as a bonus, cruise control feature is a must in order to achieve good mpg when driving on highway
