3 Best Cars For The Youth

Summer is prime time for teens to get behind the wheel, so Consumer Reports has released its list of best cars for new drivers, who really want to drive the best models on the roads. So here are the top three cars for the teens to go wild over. Check them out.

1. Hyundai Elantra

The 2010 Hyundai Elantra is the most comfortable and spacious cabins in the Affordable Small Car class, the Elantra is well worth a look for those who want a little extra comfort while getting from point A to B. Its warranty is one of the longest in the class and it gets high reliability ratings that make its affordable base price all the more attractive. It handles well, has no problem passing on the highway and offers excellent fuel economy for the class. Additionally, it offers good cargo capacity for a small sedan and has a rear seat that is actually comfortable, a quality that is exceptionally rare among affordable small cars. With a low base price, a low cost of ownership and many virtues, the Elantra earned our Best Compact Car for the Money award for 2010, just as it did for the 2009 model year.

2. Mazda 3

The 2010 redesigned Mazda3′s aggressively sporty performance is notable among affordable small cars, but its once-sleek exterior is now described as goofy-looking by some auto writers. When it came time to redesign the popular Mazda3, most reviewers had the same opinion. In terms of the car’s energetic engine power, solid handling and abundant sportiness, don’t mess too much with a good thing. According to our analysis, Mazda’s engineers listened and delivered a 2010 model that enhances the best-loved attributes of the outgoing 3. The redesigned Mazda3 is already an award winner, having secured a spot on the Car & Driver “10 Best” list for 2010 and earning a “Best Buy” award from Consumers Digest.

3. Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V provides one of the best combinations of safety, utility and affordability in its class. And with increased fuel economy, more power and a more well-liked exterior for 2010, it gets even better. Look past the conservative exterior styling and you’ll find the best-designed small SUV in this price range when it comes to interior aesthetics and day-to-day practicality. The CR-V is often compared to the Toyota RAV4, another class leader. The CR-V is an award winner. In the past, it received Motor Week’s “Driver’s Choice” for Best Small Utility and IntelliChoice’s “Motorist Choice Award.”

An Insight to Infiniti G25

Get ready for the Infiniti line-up expansion this September with the introduction of the G25, a new entry-level sedan at a starting price of $30,950. Following its predecessor, G25 packs all the amenities of the G37 sedan, but with less power and a budget-minded price tag.

Three models are noted to take off first: G25 Sedan, G25 Sedan Journey and G25x Sedan AWD. The G25 will pack a 2.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 218 horsepower. By comparison, the G37 has 328 horsepower. The G25 Sedan will come with a standard 7-speed automatic transmission and is available in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

The standard G25, G25 Journey or G25x (AWD) comes equipped with leather and power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, six-speaker audio, 17-inch aluminum wheels, HID Xenon headlamps and the normal array of electo-nannies. An optional RearView monitor and dual-zone temperature control, along with heated front seats and outside mirrors, are available on the Journey.

“With the new G25 Sedan, we’re broadening the appeal of the G Line with a model designed to provide an additional choice for buyers looking for a true luxury sedan, but who might not need the higher levels of performance provided by our larger engine-equipped G37 models,” said Infiniti Vice President Ben Poore.
