To say that young drivers and their parents have different opinions on what’s the best car for them is an understatement. States Jack Nerad of Kelley Blue Book (KBB), “As you would expect, parents' primary concerns today revolve around safety and reliability. Young people look for vehicles they can personalize or one that defines their personality, but parents just want their kids to be mobile, economical and safe."



So just how different are the teens and parents’ choices? According to KBB, the former chose the 2001 Ford Mustang as their car of choice while parents chose the 2001 Honda Civic (pictured) for their offspring. Interestingly, the Civic was teens third choice for desirable car.

Top five choices from each group can be found at the link.
