11. Hummer H1

Starting price: $103,500

If there is a worse car to get a teenager other than a sports car, then a monster SUV like the H1 has to be the next worst choice. Many parents mistakenly believe that bigger is better when it comes to buying a car for their teen; however, the H1 is a bit over-sized for most teen drivers. The data shows that aggressive driving is the root cause of more than one in three fatal accidents a year in the United States, and by buying one’s teen a H1, it is likely to make the child learn to be aggressive behind the wheel from the start. The later models of the original Hummer sold to the public were upgraded to the Duramax turbo-diesel rated at 300 horsepower; however, the fuel economy of the auto still lacks significantly when compared to other vehicles suitable for teenagers.
