Ready for the road: Driver's license and first wheels

It's tempting to go for looks and speed when picking out a car, but your parents will want you thinking differently. Pick your first car for safety, price and vehicle condition. Newer models perform better in crash tests and have added protection for inexperienced drivers, such as air bags, passive restraints and anti-lock brakes. That'll cut your insurance costs, too.
