Consumer Reports picks the best cars for teens and seniors - Click above for high-res image gallery
The car-savy folk over at
Consumer Reports have released a new list of its best picks for vehicles suited for teens and seniors. The group suggests parents looking to send their teens off to school with a newer vehicle should try to avoid the common misstep of assuming that a larger SUV is safer than its smaller, more efficient counterparts. Instead of opting for a heavy roller,
Consumer Reports suggests that parents look toward cars with standard traction control and side curtain airbags - cars like the
Mazda 3,
Scion xB,
Honda Accord or
Nissan Rogue.
Meanwhile, the publication points to a number of models for seniors that offer good visibility and easy access, including the
Honda Odyssey,
Hyundai Azera and
Subaru Forester XT Limited. As you might expect, CR notes that each of the vehicles on the list can boast at least average reliability and carry the publications' Recommended label.
Interestingly enough, the only vehicle that
Consumer Reports recommends for both driver types is the Honda Accord. Check out our galleries of the winners below and
hit the jump to peruse the full press release.
