Ford Mustang Convertible
You have two choices: the classic pony car from the ’60s or the brand new model. Forget all that junk in between, including the fox body. Get a drop-top Ford Mustang, guys and gals, and you’ll always be the center of attention.
Again, fuel efficiency should not be looked into when you’re buying a Mustang. You don’t actually plan on driving responsibly, so those numbers go right out the window. If you pick the new Mustang with the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 with 435 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, there’s only two speeds: fast and parked. So it’s probably not one of the best cars for teens, but they definitely want one.
Subaru WRX STi
Those who want to be different than everyone else yet not fall behind, look at the Subaru WRX STi. This is a compact sedan with 305 horsepower from a flat-plane 4-cylinder. It’s built for the track but meant for the street. It’s a go-fast machine with the astonishing power and performance that will keep a teenager behind the wheel forever.
The unfortunate tendency is the need to drive “Fast and Furious”-style. That results in speeding tickets and bad decisions, so don’t tell your parents that when you’re car shopping.
