I tend to be a fan of new cars. For going off the college a Honda Civic or Toyota Yaris.

We planned our car buying in our family so that my daughter got a hand-me-down 1999 Accord when she was a HS senior in 2005/2006, drove it through college, still driving it at her new job. The next car she will have she will pay for herself...

That way I'm buying new and I REALLY know the car history....

Reliability, safety, low cost of operation and ownership is what a college student needs.

After school, feel free to blow up your wallet.
