If I were teenager and could afford a new car for a teenager, I'd go for a 3 year lease on a Smart ED.
It has 2 seats, so no getting in trouble with a carload of friends.
According to the members of this board who drive one, it's still peppy and fun to drive.
The limited range means no going on long joy rides.
That makes it a good starter car.
If the kid wants something better, ask them what are they going to do to earn money to buy themselves something better. We don't need more youth with entitlement issues running around after all. Teach them responsibility and the value of earning things for themselves.
