I'll be turning 16 in a couple of months and I would like to get some opinions on some cars I've looked at. All of these are used and under $8,000.
1. 2007 Toyota Matrix
$7,991
148,527 miles
30mpg city/36 mpg hw
2. 2007 Honda Fit Sport
$7,995
81,302 miles
33 city/38 hw
3. 2008 Scion xD
$6,991
149,521 miles
27 city/33 hw
4. 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT
$6,995
109,830 miles
28 city/32 hw
5. 2007 Nissan Murano S
$7,488
169,946 miles
20 city/25 hw
I'm really looking for which one is best in terms of safety, as well as gas mileage. All of these are hatchback/subcompact except for the Nissan Murano S. Since I'm only almost sixteen, I really can't afford a bunch of gas. But I also won't be as experienced in driving, so it's important to have a safe car. So in terms of fuel economy and safety, which one would be best? Thanks:)
