[s-cars] Teen cars Mine vs UrS4 .. Who wins?

[Brian Armstead]

Let's not forget the Taurus/Sable twins.  Reliable, cheap to insure and perform well in IIHS crash tests...

You can train your kid to be the best driver in the world, and it will
do jack when they get broadsided by some asshole checking his
blackberry, or some idiot driving with bald tires.

The Mini was a good answer. Reasonably priced used (I think?) for the
base models, slow, safe, good handling, and reasonably practical.  The
only shame is that your kid will throw up every time they get in and
look at the interior.

Other good candidates: second-generation a4, P2 Volvos.
