For many students across the nation, the last few weeks of August means summer is quickly coming to an end and another semester of school is beginning. With environmental concerns rising and tuition prices spiking, it’s time to consider many factors when searching for a new or used car. To help with the daunting task of finding a vehicle, we’ve compiled a list of five cars that are best suited for New England’s weather and backroads.
Safety should be a top concern in choosing a vehicle for a younger driver. The vehicle should have many airbags, antilock brakes, good visibility, electronic stability control, and a body that provides lots of protection to name a few. The car should have earned four or five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Each of our recommendations start below $23,000.
