If you are lucky enough to be able to buy your teen a car be selective.  Most teens would want their parents to purchase a showy, fast, "cool" car, but remember to keep "safety" the priority.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) rates cars on a five star rollover. front and side crash  rating system.  Jeffrey Runge, the head of NHTSA, recommends parents purchase a car with 4 or more stars, to the chagrin on many car manufacturers.
