Replying to: autochallenged (Jul 12, 2007 3:20 pm) Personally I think you can't go wrong with a Honda. Reliable, great gas milage, and good looking! I love the hatchback civic and I plan of getting a new one here in like 10 years!
#215 of 215 A sad Saab story, with happy ending (kinda) by klg3g Feb 26, 2009 (9:05 pm)
My 18 yr old was involved in a terrible accident in his beloved 2001 Saab 9-3 hatchback. This was his first car, and our first Saab. It WAS quirky, and frequently required repairs that quickly added up, but it was a great car for a teen driver. In this accident, which involved a frontal crash at 35 mph, and being rear-ended so hard that the back of the car was literally torn off- my son emerged without a scratch and no injuries; NONE. Both airbags deployed, the front windshield was intact, and there was no intrusion into the passenger cabin. The car was totalled, of course, and looked like it had been compacted, but, again, no injuries whatsoever. I will probably not be replacing it with another Saab, due to the repair costs, but if you are looking for a safe car for a teen driver-this is the one. Oh, and the 2 bass guitars in the trunk were safe, too. Now, I'm looking for another safe car that can accomodate a double-bass-any suggestions?
