Two thirds reported that the teen would drive an existing family vehicle, 10.5% would buy an additional vehicle, and 20.3% would buy another vehicle as well as have the teen drive an existing family vehicle. Large size was important to only \u223c40% of families purchasing a car for the teen or families in which the teen would use an existing family vehicle. Gas mileage and other safety features were ranked as more important even in families in which a large car was available in the household.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n Families did not rank vehicle size and weight as important as other, less effective safety features in choosing cars for their teens.
