Driving a hot car is fun, but
often not the safest or the most economical. Pick your first
car for safety, price and vehicle condition. Newer models
perform better in crash tests and have added protection for
drivers, such as air bags, passive restraints and anti-lock
brakes.
If you plan to finance your new
car, check out the money-saving tips below. You'll not only
save money, but time and aggravation as well. And remember,
car insurance is expensive for young adults.
You can reduce those premiums by shopping around for the best
rates, selecting a safe car and steering clear of traffic
tickets.
