What 2019 Car/SUV for teen drivers?
The title is a little misleading because it would be my primary vehicle but two teens allowed to drive it a couple days a week and weekends.
So my lease is coming to an end at the end of this year, so I have a little time. I am debating keeping the vehicle and it becoming DH primary vehicle, and then I would trade in his vehicle for a new one for me.
Note: I work in insurance, so I do not need any feedback on insurance.
My vehicle: Leased: 2016 Hyundai Sonata Limited with all the bells and whistles. My commute is less than 12 miles to work.
My DH vehicle: Loan: 2014 Hyundai Tuscon. Probably has high miles in comparison to average miles. I don't have the number. DH commutes 32 miles to work one way, five days a week. This vehicle has been on several road long road trips.
My preferred option: Keep the leased vehicle but give it to DH as his primary driver. Trade in DH veh for something else that I would like and that the kids could borrow.
Vehicles I am thinking about... for some reason, I want a small white SUV either a Hyundai, Kia, Honda, etc. Not any luxury brands. DD wants a Mazda as many of her friends drive a Mazda, I have never owned a Mazda. We were behind a white Kia Sportage the other day and DD said "I like that one." LOL. I would also consider a smaller car like a Honda Civic with the thought that in 3 years I would give it to one of my kids and get myself a new vehicle.
So, I am not a car person, but we have always bought new. The only used vehicle I have owned was a car I bought from my brother when he was going overseas and 4 years later, gave it back to him. My brother has also given my son a car Kia before (don't recall the model) when he was going overseas again and getting rid of cars.
What smaller SUV or Car would be a good 2019 or even 2018 model to look at. I would want it with all the bells and whistles as I like the newer features on vehicles. I no longer have any small kids that rid in my car so no child safety seats required.
