Three Used Vehicles That Bring Big Peace of Mind to First-Time Drivers
Buying your teen’s first car often turns into a high-stakes balancing act between safety, value, and the terrifying realization that they’re actually driving alone. (And yes, you will stalk them on Find My iPhone. It’s fine.) That’s why Nielsen Editorial’s latest roundup of the safest vehicles for teen drivers in NJ is such a must-read for Garden State families who’d like to keep their blood pressure in the reasonable range.
At the Dover Dodge Route 15 Used Car Center, we’re proud to carry three of the standout picks from that list: the Honda CR-V, the Toyota Camry, and the Ford Explorer.
Each one brings something unique to the table. The CR-V is the ultimate do-it-all SUV: compact, reliable, and equipped with Honda Sensing® for that just-right mix of calm handling and proactive protection. Basically, it’s like putting a Zen master in the passenger seat who never yells, “Watch the curb!”
The Toyota Camry, on the other hand, is the sedan equivalent of a seasoned co-pilot: steady, composed, and armed with Toyota Safety Sense® to keep your teen centered, focused, and less likely to drift into someone else’s lane.
And then there’s the Ford Explorer, which is big enough to grow with your family, smart enough to help a new driver avoid trouble, and tough enough to handle winter mornings in Sussex County without breaking a sweat (or requiring you to buy snow chains that cost more than your first apartment).
In a state where teen drivers face jughandles that seem personally offended if you miss them, black ice that shows up uninvited, and potholes the size of inflatable pools, these three vehicles stand out for one key reason: they’re built to handle it. Safely, reliably, and without turning every ride into a nail-biter that makes you invent new curse words.
Looking for a first car that keeps teens safe and parents (mostly) sane? Find a preowned CR-V, Camry, or Explorer for sale in NJ at our Used Car Center in New Jersey.
