It doesn't need to be fancy. But even cheap base model cars are safer than some 1500 dollar car that's 10 or 15 years old.
And even if the person is driving is safe and does everything right, they can't control the other drivers around them.
I think investing in a newer car (3-4 years old) as opposed to (10-15 years old) is well worth it. It could be the difference between life or death in the case of a collision.

I agree with this whole heartedly. I've seen base model Civics and Corolla's advertised for like $65 bi-weekly and at least then you're getting basic warranty and fuel efficiency. I think Ford's Focus is in that price range as well as the Fiesta and a few of the smaller compact Japanese cars.
A 15 year old vehicle will be much harder on gas, and parts are getting harder to find.
But this all may be moot at this point ... did you pass?
