Fave Car for Teens is a Honda
#16
To the thread topic.....yes and no. Civics, especially pimped-out ones, ARE popular with teens, but, from what I have seen, mostly the caps-on-backwards male crowd. Other young teens, and most young girls, don't seem to be that enthralled with them. Many male and female teens, for lack of money, family discipline, or other reasons, drive what their parents give them....or allow them to buy. And.....(I have written and posted on this many times).......V8 Mustangs, high insurance notwithstanding, are extremely popular with teens, and injure or kill more of them than any other vehicle I can think of. The car is like a crack addicition with them.....they drive Mustangs in outrageously aggressive manners and pay the price.

When I was a teenager, technically I still think I am at 20, I never really wanted a Honda, don't get me wrong they are great cars, reliable and all. I just don't know what it is.
Always a Toyota man, unfortunately, Toyota wasn't the one my parents chose to replace when my hand me down 1988 Chevrolet Nova gave up on me in fall 05, which was basically a Toyota Corolla in it's day. The car ran like it was number one till the day it gave up.

I used to look outside the crib when I lived with roommates and it looked like a Honda used car lot outside.
Chicks buy Hondas like no tomorrow.

Where I live, perhaps the favorite car of young girls is the VW Beetle....though I see no reason a male cannot buy one if he likes it.
And I'm certainly not wrong about the number of teens driving Mustangs and getting hurt or killed in them....I see that with my own eyes.

i think this completely depends on what type of teens you ask; example, the type of teen who drives a civic may be more likely to answer your servey about what type of car they drive than the type of teen who drives the suv.

I think Civics are so popular among high school kids because:
1) Used ones are very affordable and reliable
2) They're slow enough and safe enough to win the nod of approval from mom and dad
3) Aftermarket parts for them are literally everywhere

You're probably right. I guess the proper thing to do (from a parent's perspective) is to routinely inspect Jr.'s car for such things, and take away the driving privilege as necessary.
