Right car for my son

Asked by Joe Ramo

I'M LOOKING for a car for my son who is just starting to drive. He needs a medium-sized station wagon and I was thinking of a 1994-1996 Mitsubishi Magna. Are they safe, economical and reliable? Should I go for a manual or an auto?

GENERALLY the Magna is a good, solid and reliable car, a good choice for a driver starting out. Because they're getting old now, there is a greater chance of problems occurring, but the Magna isn't any more likely to have a problem than any other car. You're better off buying an auto. They're easier to find because more of them were built, and the resale value will be better.
