List of best cars for teens (insurance)
 

I was floored when I came across this list.

Of course, I own a Miata (never had considered it a car for my boys to eventually drive often and I still think it's a bad idea), and as I mentioned on an earlier waffling thread, would definitely consider a GTI (or other Golf) for them to use.

I am just surprised the Miata and GTI are up near the top. They seem like cars that would get kids to drive fast/irresponsibly and thus be expensive to insure.

And yes, I have 5 years until I have to worry about it.

It's all about the stats.

Weird to see the Mustang on that list. That's usually the type of car you'd expect to see at the more expensive end.

Crazy! And we're about three years out. Gulp.

bummer, the e46 wagon didn't make the list :(

I am surprised by the Miata. It is interesting that most of the cars on the 'best' list are available/primarily sold with a manual. Perhaps this re-affirms the idea that manuals keep people more engaged in driving. Or maybe it just makes cars harder to steal ??

In any case I am currently teaching our 21 yr old to drive a stick. My poor 1er. Its going pretty well. She just needs to stop dumping the clutch as soon as the car starts moving.

And then she needs to release it before she rides it. Such a fine distinction!

$2,700/year?! jeez.

(we're 5, no, 4 years away) :eek:

Same here. My wife wants to hand down my GTI to him:dunno:

Interesting where the least and most are separated by only about $600. None of them cheap though.

Right. We don't pay much more than those rates for three high-end, adult-driven cars.

and that's for what they claim to be the cheapest of the cheap insurance companies

this can't be right...right? :speechle:
