Toyota Camry
While it was redesigned four years ago, the Toyota Camry received a number of upgrades for 2010, increasing its potential as a teen driver's car. Parents will be happy that a driver's knee airbag, stability and traction control are now all standard, in addition to antilock brakes, side impact airbags and side curtain airbags, which were all previously standard. The new 169 horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine gets an estimated 22 city/33 highway mpg, making fill-ups easier on a teen driver's budget.- Research the Toyota Camry
