What’s the Best Honda for Teen Drivers?

Is your teenager ready to get behind the wheel? Teen drivers are statistically at a higher risk for accidents than adults. That’s why it’s especially important that their first vehicle is safe, affordable, and durable enough to keep them on the road throughout high school and maybe even into their college years. Vern Eide Honda understands what teenage drivers need to succeed on the road, and we’ve compiled a short list of our top Hondas for teens, to help you decide which vehicle is best for your family.

Honda Civic Teen Drivers

Honda Civic for Affordability

The Honda Civic is one of Honda’s most affordable cars for teens. Whether you buy used or new, you can find a Civic that’s in a price range that works for your household. Don’t mistake the Civic’s affordability with a lack of longevity or safety; South Dakota families choose the Civic because it’s built to last, provides next-level safety features, and is a car teens can take with them into adulthood.

Honda Accord Teen Drivers

Honda Accord for Reliability

As a parent or guardian, you want a reliable vehicle for your teen. Out of all the Honda’s, Vern Eide believes the Accord is one of the most reliable vehicles in our lineup. Honda Accords have a long lifespan, often lasting between 200,000 – 300,000 miles with proper upkeep and maintenance. Many drivers can surpass the 100,000 with only minimal maintenance or repairs needed.

Honda HR-V Teen Drivers

Honda HR-V for Cargo Space

For teen drivers wanting an SUV, the Honda HR-V is a subcompact vehicle. The HR-V is larger than a sedan, but not quite too large, especially for a new driver. If your teen driver plays sports or has a hobby with a lot of gear, having an SUV is essential. The HR-V makes the transition into driving a larger vehicle seamless and provides plenty of safety features to keep your teen safe out on the road.

New Honda Teen Drivers

Buying New vs. Used

Vern Eide has an impressive inventory of both used and new Honda vehicles. Parents tend to buy used vehicles for teens in Sioux City, but buying new also has their advantages.

Teen Driver Insurance

Insurance Cost

Your insurance institute has higher premiums for certain vehicles. Since teens often pay higher premiums than adults, it’s important to take their insurance rates into consideration alongside the cost of the vehicle.

Teen Driver Fuel Efficiency

Fuel Efficiency

Teens don’t want a vehicle that burns through gas. Luckily, Hondas have great MPG, so whether you choose an HR-V or Civic, your teen won’t go broke paying for gas every month.

NHTSA Rating

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determines a vehicle’s safety based on crash, resistance, and stability testing in correlation to highway safety. The Honda Accord, Honda Civic, and Honda HR-V all have 5 star NHTSA ratings, making them some of the safest vehicles on the market.
