The biggest issue is the balance to strive for. The best, top of the line car could be purchased, but that may not be the correct decision, at least cost wise. On the other hand, getting a car that we are not sure when it will stall may not be appropriate either. It is important to give the teen a car that is reliable, and has a host of safety features, and not very expensive. Such features would also help lower insurance costs as well.
