(MoneyWatch) CBS MoneyWatch readers have plenty of opinions about the best car for a teenager. Unfortunately, a lot of the received wisdom about the ideal ride for teenagers is misguided or even dangerous. To set the record straight -- and to get a short list of safe, efficient and inexpensive cars, ideal for teens -- we consulted Consumer Reports automotive editor Mike Quincy. He provided us with six cars, three from last year and three older ones, that he'd recommend for a new driver in anyone's household.

- I got my son started out on a high mileage Civic. What a great experience. It was quite slow with a mediocre clutch and needed lots of fiddling to keep it running well. He gained a lot of expertise in driving a manual transmission, and doing his own fluid changes and other maintenance. The only downside? It was too easy to parallel park.
