We bought a Volkswagen alltrac for our son to drive. We wanted something safe and reliable for him. It fits his and his siblings' down-hill ski gear. He drives his siblings to school and back each day, drives them to activities when I"m busy and runs errands for me. It's a manual shift but he used his driver's ed instructor's car to take his test which was an automatic.
This car belongs to us and we can take it away if we need to. However, he already knows it's the car we intend to give him to drive to college.
