When it comes time for you to get your teenager a car, you have plenty of choices.  While some parents might prefer shopping at Salisbury Used Car Dealership because then they don’t have to worry about replacing the vehicle should their teenager have an accident, some parents prefer to buy their new driver a new car with loads of safety features.  While Puyallup Kia Dealership might not have been on your car shopping horizon a few years ago in terms of safety, many of their new line up come with great safety ratings.  One perfect example is the Sportage over at Pittsburgh Kia Dealership.

With a starting price of only $18,295, the Kia Sportage is a fantastic choice for any new driver.  The payments will be low and parents should make sure that their teenager is present during the entire car buying process, including price negotiations and how the monthly loan payment is determined.  A lot of teenagers are responsible for buying their own gas, and if you take into consideration that the Kia Sportage is estimated to get 31 mpg on the highway, this can be a huge teaching point.  Sure, the sports car might look cool, but it probably only gets 20 mpg on the highway, if you’re lucky!

The Kia Sportage earned the highest praise from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in the form of being a Top Safety Pick.  The IIHS awards a vehicle a Top Safety Pick if they earn the highest score in all of the crash test areas and if the vehicle comes equipped with electronic stability control.  Unlike a lot of truck based SUVs that have rear-wheel drive, the Sportage is more of a crossover or compact SUV and comes standard with front-wheel drive.  The base models are going to come Bluetooth ready so you can make sure your teenager is safe and hands free rather than trying to drive one handed while talking on their cell phone.  Plus, the Sportage looks cool and will stand out in their high school parking lot full of sedans.
