The Fiesta offers oh-la-la styling in a safe,

affordable package.

In addition to its 5-Star safety rating with the

NHTSA, the Fiesta offers 7 standard airbags.

The Fiesta also comes standard with stability

control, ideal for beginning drivers learning to

navigate corners and curves.

Antilock drum brakes on the rear and disc on

the front offers phenomenal stopping without

skidding in most situations.

The Fiesta has a sporty feel, perfect for

young drivers, and a sense of safety for

concerned parents.

Kia has come light-years in the last

decade in terms of safety and reliability.

With a 5-Star rating from the NHTSA, the

Forte has six standard airbags, stability

control, and 4-wheel disc brakes with an

antilock braking system.

The Forte is surprisingly peppy, making it

easier for learning drivers to merge onto

interstates or pull out into busy roadways.

The Forte is extremely affordable for its

looks, styled by a former Audi designer.

Add in the 100,000 power train warranty,

and the Forte is a true steal of a deal.

The Compass offers the rugged versatility

of its big brother, the Grand Cherokee,

plus the easy drivability and youthful

styling of its cousin, the Patriot.

Built onto a car frame instead of a truck

chassis like most SUVs, the Compass

offers optimal stability for young drivers

without sacrificing coolness.

The Compass is equipped with 4 air bags,

stability control, and 4-wheel disc ABS.

The Compass doesn’t guzzle gas like the

larger SUVs, achieving up to 30 mpg on

the highway.

With 54 cubic feet of cargo space, it’s ideal

for toting sports equipment, tons of friends,

or even mom’s groceries.

The Rio is another Kia getting rave reviews from

the NHTSA, achieving an impressive 5-Star

safety rating for its thrifty price tag.

With 6 standard airbags, stability control, and 4-

wheel disc ABS, it helps parents feel comfortable

with kids on the road yet offers a high-quality

look and feel both inside and outside.

The short wheel base allows for a fun drive

without compromising the safety of the driver

and passengers.

The hatchback is extremely popular with young

drivers for its great looks, while parents approve

of the affordable insurance premiums and

excellent fuel mileage.

Another 5-Star safety rating from

the NHTSA, the Cube offers a

funky styling that young Japanese

drivers have enjoyed for years.

Now the unique look is taking off

with America‘s youth.

The Cube offers 6 standard

airbags, along with stability

control, front disc and rear drum

brakes with antilock braking.

The Cube isn’t just affordable,

cute, and safe; it offers ample

cargo space for musical

instruments, camping gear, or a

load of friends headed out for a

weekend adventure.

The Honda Fit is fit as a fiddle, with a super compact

body that’s easy to park on crowded campus or in

busy mall parking lots.

The small exterior is deceptive though, as the interior

provides the generous cargo and passenger space of

a crossover SUV.

A fun drive is a safe drive in the Fit, which took the

honors of 2014 Top Safety Pick from the IIHS.

With rollover sensors, an electronic stability control

system (ESC), antilock brakes, and daytime running

lights, the Fit packs the same safety and drivability as

the larger, family-size Hondas.

For parents who want to encourage their young drivers

to learn how to operate a stick shift, the Fit offers an

easy-to-handle manual transmission. Plus, sticks are

just more fun when cars are this sporty-looking.

The price tag of the Focus is a tad heftier than most

of the others on this list, but the Focus offers some

fine qualities that many parents of young drivers are

happy to spring for.

Even with its larger front-end cost (still well under

$18,000), the Focus gets great gas mileage with the

capable 160HP engine, which boasts 40 mpg on the

highway.

The Focus offers a premium driving experience akin

to some of the entry level luxury cars on the market.

With a steel reinforced safety cage, airbags,

personal safety system, ESC, ABS, and tire pressure

monitoring, it’s easy to rest well knowing your teen is

behind the wheel of a Focus.

The MyFord Touch infotainment system is available

on some Focus models, which is handy for young

drivers out in bad weather or in need of directions.

As the third Kia on the list, it’s clear just how far

Kia has come in terms of safety and reliability,

even while keeping prices affordable for young

drivers.

The Sportage is a compact crossover, making it

attractive and versatile, as well as fun to drive.

The Sportage features a functional interior ideal for

young drivers learning to use controls while at the

wheel.

Its small size makes it a peppier, more enjoyable

drive than larger crossover vehicles available.

In addition to the exhilarating SX turbocharged 4-

cylinder engine option that offers an impressive

260 HO, the Sportage offers lots of passenger and

cargo space for hauling siblings and friends to

school, practice, and out on Friday nights.
