I have been driving since I was 16 (I am 26 now) and have never gotten into an accidents ever. nor any tickets. I also drive "professionally". (I have a school bus license, and am qualified to drive commerically in CA) But statistically I am a special case. Odds are you will get into trouble, cause you are a teen.

Spend your teens years driving a reliable beater car. It will teach you to appreciate a new car when you can afford one, then when that time comes, it will be much more satisfying.

Also with a beater car, you will learn MORE about automechanics then you ever thought. Small things will break and go wrong, and you have to learn to fix them yourself. This is a great way to learn about auto-maintenance, and being a responsible car owner.

For the reasons listed above, teens DO NOT DESERVE NEW CARS.
