When the day finally arrives for your teen driver to get behind the wheel of their own vehicle, many parents are apprehensive about this new found independence. A real concern for teen drivers is the lack of driving experience which may result in an accident. At Kia Springfield we understand a parents concern for safety and offer the following tips to find the best car for a teen driver.
Check crash test scores- It goes without saying that no one wants to think of the worst case scenario. With that in mind it is better to know how well a car performs in a crash versus hoping it will provide the safety needed to protect your teen. Kia dealers in Springfield can help you learn more about the vehicles in their inventory to ensure you pick a car that has tested well in earlier crash tests.
Right amount of power- When looking for a car for an inexperienced driver, pay close attention to the amount of horsepower with which your teen will be dealing. Too much horsepower may prove to be too much temptation for teens who tend to have an lower level of risk aversion. Kia dealers also recommend not getting a car that is too slow as this may cause problems in areas where quick lane changes or merging onto a highway require a bit of get up and go.
Affordable to insure- Parents are reminded that teen drivers are already more expensive to insure, therefore it is important to take into consideration how much it will cost to insure the vehicle they are driving. Cars that have more safety features and a history of being reliable will be more affordable for most teen drivers.
