The Popular Cars Teenagers Actually Want

Jeep Wrangler

The only thing more fun that top-down cruising is off-roading with the top down. The Jeep Wrangler is the perfect vehicle to grab a few good friends and spend time in the sunshine.

The 3.6-liter engine and extremely capable 4WD will get you in and out of trouble before your parents even know you left the school parking lot.

VW Beetle

It’s iconic, retro, and quite a bit of fun to drive as well. The Volkswagen Beetle is a popular choice, especially among girls. Most Beetle owners and drivers have a similar personality to their car – unique, bubbly and the life of the party.

With 33 mpg highway and 2 4mpg city, the VW Beetle is an economic choice too. But forget the mpg – mash the pedal to the floor and crank up the tunes on the Fender premium audio system.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

“There’s no replacement for displacement.” The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is almost every teenager’s wet dream. The throaty exhaust sound makes the Hellcat go fast when it’s standing still…and then you shift into drive. You’ll rocket to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. You might need to borrow from your student loans for gas money too.

Be careful not to get your college car impounded. It will be hard to explain why your parents need to pick you up from school for Thanksgiving.
