Kia Forte, Optima, Soul, and Sportage named ‘Best New Cars For Teens’ by Consumer Reports

Consumer Reports didn’t include any large SUVs or trucks on their list because they offer seating to many passengers, and they didn’t include any sports cars or turbo engines because of their high power and speed ability. Consumer Reports recommends newer models because they often have better crash test ratings and more safety features.
