Which car should I buy for my 16 year old daughter? A lexus RX or a Nissan Xterra?

Which car should I buy for my 16 year old daughter? A lexus RX or a Nissan Xterra? She said that she wants a Lexus RX and a Nissan Xterra (obviously, I will be buying new). Which car would be best for a new driver?

  • she should EARN her car or she will never appreciate it but Nissan is the bomb! We have an xterra and it has been great! Read More
  • well I agree with most of the people here, kids don't appreciate everything their parents do for this because we spoil them a lot but I can see that you want to be a good parents and if that the case than here what I had to say, although the Nissan Xterra is cheap to find and bigger, I will recommend the Lexus RX...

Because if this is her first time driving, or she has been driving before, This way if the car gets wrecked, God forbid it does, it wont be much of a loss.

  • Buying a brand new car for a new driver is foolish, to be honest. The likelihood of her hitting a mailbox, trashcans, whatever, is pretty high. Get her a clean used car, but one that has good safety ratings (and hope she doesn't need them), and don't worry too much about what she wants, it's your money isn't it? Get... Read More
  • A Nissan Xterra...although they are quite hideous. But for a new driver they are big enough so in case of an accident and would be cheaper insurance.

Other Choices:

Until the Toyota FJ Cruiser arrived a couple of years ago, the Nissan Xterra was in a class itself, the only model appealing to young people who not only wanted off-road capability but an interior versatile and rugged enough for taking along equipment. The FJ Cruiser is even more of a mountain goat off-road, but its interior is tighter and not as useful or versatile as the Xterra's. The new Wrangler Unlimited is much larger than the model it replaces and upholds much higher standards of safety and refinement than the old one; with its very boxy, rugged styling, it's perhaps the main alternative to the 2008 Nissan Xterra. Finally, for those who don't need rugged off-roading ability but still want a high-utility, easy-to-clean interior, the fuel-efficient Honda Element might just fit their needs.
