More than 264 million vehicles were registered and 218 million drivers were issued licenses (between 1990 and 2016) in the US. This just goes to show that the number of drivers on US roads has been increasing rapidly and the need for better driving lessons is more important now than ever before!

What’s even more important is for beginner drivers to purchase vehicles that complement their developing driving skills. There are many vehicles deemed ideal for beginner drivers—here are five of them:

Mazda3

The third-generation Mazda3 is the perfect car for new drivers. Not only does it deliver performance and fuel efficiency, but it also has a stylish body and design. The car is available in both automatic and manual transmissions.

What makes it ideal for beginner drivers is its state of the art iACTIVESENSE features. Apart from detecting lane markings, the car is also able to switch between high and low beams automatically and also notifies other drivers if they are too close to the vehicle. The vehicle is so safe that it is even on the Top Safety Pick of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) list.

VW Golf

The Volkswagen Golf comes at a close second as it has more or less similar features, but costs just a bit more.

If you don’t like the Japanese hatchback, the VW Golf is a good alternative. However, the low horsepower and poor fuel efficiency are tough compromises to make.

The VW Golf was also mentioned in the 2018 Top Safety Pick of IIHS. This goes to show that it does an impressive job at protecting drivers and passengers.

Subaru Impreza

Newly introduced at the New York International Auto Show, Subaru Impreza is a compact family car renowned to have the best accident avoidance crash rate. It boasts a whopping 40% higher crash energy absorption rate than other vehicles in the same category. You can get your hands on the Impreza for as low as $18, 300!

Honda Civic

The most popular go-to-car— the Honda Civic has been the first choice for teenagers and beginner drivers alike, for decades!

The vehicle is renowned for being safe and reliable, all the while delivering satisfying performance. Moreover, the base trims don’t deliver as much power, which makes them perfect for fresh drivers.

With a starting price of $19,050, the 2016 model has a solid fuel economy that compliments its sharp edges and angular front-end.

Subaru Crosstrek

An impressive jump from the Subaru Impreza, the Crosstrek offers a higher ride height and more road agility in terms of clearing obstacles. Moreover, if you find driving around larger vehicles like trucks somewhat intimidating, the height on this vehicle can add to your confidence when behind the wheel.

Starting at a whopping $21,595, the Subaru Crosstrek is pricier than all 4 cars mentioned above. However, the crossover subcompact SUV has a well-built interior with lots of cargo space. It offers a user-friendly infotainment system as well.
