Helping your child choose their first car is an exciting yet nerve-wracking season in life. The safe driving experts at Trevor Merren Auto can help you to sift through the options and choose the best vehicle for your teenager.

Before you pull the trigger, be sure to check out the independent safety ratings for an objective opinion. While it may be tempting to choose a smaller vehicle for your teen's first car thinking that it will be easier to drive, it is a better idea to go with something larger. Heavier vehicles are inherently safer than compact cars. You will also likely see less extensive damage with fender benders when your teen is driving a larger vehicle.

It is also recommended to choose as many active safety features as you can afford. Must-have options include a backup camera and a blind spot monitor to cut down on the risk of collisions.
