# 2001 Mercury Cougar. "This Cougar has a distinctive look inside and out and has plenty of standard features like power windows, four bucket seats, power-heated mirrors, and a detachable audio panel," said AutoExtra.com. But Reed gave a thumbs-down. It's a sportier car, he said, and not ideal for teens.
# 2003 Ford Taurus LX. "The Taurus LX has low-maintenance costs, standard V6 engine and is loaded with options," said AutoExtra.com. Reed agreed. This car is "a workhorse. The size would be good, and [it has a] standard V6 engine, if people feel that's important."
# 2000 Chevy Blazer. "The Blazer is a good mix of safety, fair MPG (for a full-sized SUV) and insurance costs," said AutoExtra.com.
# The 1998 Toyota 4Runner is a "top selling SUV which translates into better resell and low-cost maintenance. With a larger wheel base it is less prone to roll-over," AutoExtra.com said. Reed agreed the 4Runner is less prone to rollover than other SUVs. "A great vehicle, but again it's an SUV," he said.
# 2003 Ford Ranger (half bed)

Since when is the Blazer considered a f/s vehicle?

Number 10 is the Ranger! That was my first vehicle when I was 16. I got a '95 Ranger (about $12,000 at the time). I loved that truck and when I went to college I had to drive a Toyota Celica for a while

I couldn't wait to get back into a Ranger. It is a good first vehicle since you can get them for a very low price.
