Survey: Honda Civic Most Popular for Teens

According to a national survey made by Quality Planning Corporation (QPC), the most popular car preferred by teenage drivers is the Honda Civic. Both new and used seven-year-old Honda Civics topped the list. The survey targeted cars that were driven by teens although not necessarily owned. For teens, it was found that the average price for their used cars was $7,410 dollars USD with the typical vehicle being is 9 years old and the average driver logging in about 9,307 miles annually.

Sports cars were absent from the top ten list possibly due to greater insurance costs and risks presented that the driving performance-oriented cars encourage, reports QPC. Large SUVs were also found to be no longer popular for parents because of high gasoline prices and the belief that a heavy vehicle could possibly not be the best choice for a new driver.
