5. 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata

Starting Price: $24,790

The Mazda MX-5 Miata has quietly become a trendy parental favorite for teenagers to drive. A big advantage to the vehicle only offering two seats is that they cannot physically give large groups of friend’s rides in the vehicle. The car is powered by a V-4, 2.0 liter engine that is rated at 167 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. Mazda uses a fair amount of aluminum in the construction of the MX-5 which helps keep the curbside weight down to 2,325 lbs. The overall fuel rating of the car is an above average 27 MPG (city) and 34 MPG (highway), and combined with the low price point when compared to other sports cars has quickly become one of the best cars on the market for teenagers.
