8. Subaru WRX

Starting price: $27,390

The Subaru WRX is a great car for those who like to get a car with power for a decent price. Unfortunately, the stock turbo-four cylinder engine is rated at 268 horsepower making it a bit too strong for most teenagers. When you add in the attention the vehicle can get from law enforcement and the potential to negatively impact the parent’s insurance bill in a big way, and the WRX quickly becomes one of the worst cars for teen drivers on the market today. The car can go from zero to 60 MPH in 5.0 seconds, and it has a top overall speed of 144 MPH. For those who insist on getting their teen this vehicle, it does get slightly above average fuel economy with a 21 MPG (city) and 28 MPG (highway) overall rating.
