VW Jetta Named A Best Car For Teen Drivers

Having a teen driver is an adjustment that thousands of families experience each year. You want your teen to experience the freedom and joy of driving the open road but you are also concerned for their safety, as any parent would be. Luckily, Edmunds.com has released a list of the “10 Best Cars for Teen Drivers” and we’re happy to tell you that the Volkswagen Jetta is on it!

Safety features were obviously the most important criteria in formulating this list but in particular they looked for a mid-sized sedan with reliable standard safety features like ABS and a generous amount of airbags. They also preferred vehicles with advanced safety systems like crash notification, back-up camera preferably with cross-traffic alert, Forward Collision Warning, and the highest ratings from the NHTSA and the IIHS.

The mid-size Jetta is a favorite among teens. It’s fuel-efficiency is a great benefit since many teens are low on funds for gas. It’s a pick for this list because it is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+, and has Volkswagen’s Car-Net telematics system. This feature comes with roadside assistance, automatic crash notification, and remote vehicle access which allows you or your teen to start the car or unlock doors via smartphone app. It also has geofencing which will alert a parent when the car goes beyond a set boundary or exceeds a set speed limit.
