Insurance Center

If you're thinking about buying a new or used car for your teenager, there are a few cars that attract cheap car insurance.

Car insurance for more expensive cars will cost you more and less expensive cars will cost less. Even if a car is older and is a less expensive car, the car insurance should be cheaper. Car insurance on cars made in the U.S. is cheaper than on cars manufactured in other countries. Car insurance is also cheaper on 4-door cars, cars with 4 cylinder motors and minivans.

The most popular car among teenagers is the Honda Civic. It ranks high in safety and the car insurance is usually low. It's a good car because it's also economical and easy to operate. However, the Honda Civic, the Ford Focus, and the Saturn models are still relatively light and not good from a safety standpoint. Other popular cars include the Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Mitsubishi Lancer.

I wouldn't buy cars for teens that are smaller than those above. They're not as safe. The larger the car the safer it usually is. My mother worked in the emergency room for years and she told us that she could always tell when someone who'd been injured in an automobile accident was driving a small car by the severity of the injuries.
