Best Cars for Students in 2013

Students don’t want to hear it, but it’s almost time for Back to School. You can always tell, because the school supplies commercials start flooding onto the television and every store is offering back-to-school savings. But if your child is beyond the age of needing crayons and a Transformers lunch box for school, they might need a new car for school. Here at Palmen Kia, we are proud to offer one of the best cars for students in 2013. The car in questions is the 2013 Kia Sportage – as listed by Kelley Blue Book.

So what makes a car one of the best cars for students in 2013? For this study, factors like fuel economy, safety, style, versatility and value were looked at specifically. And as it turns out, the Sportage has all of these areas covered very well. Let’s look at a breakdown to help you decide if the Sportage is the best vehicle for your student.

Fuel Economy: An important factor for anyone – but even more so for students with a limited budget. Luckily, the Sportage comes with a fuel efficient 2.4-liter four-cylinder that offers highway fuel economy up to 27 MPG. And the city fuel economy hits 20 MPG, a good number for students driving around campus.

Safety: Obviously an area of importance to parents trusting a vehicle with their precious cargo. The Sportage features advanced air bag systems, with side air bags and side curtain air bags in addition to the standard fronts. There’s also stability control and traction control standard on the Sportage.

Style: This one speaks for itself, as the Sportage proudly shows off the style that Kia has become known for as of late. The look is something any student would be happy to drive.

Versatility: With outstanding passenger capacity in two large rows of seating, and enough horsepower to handle the bigger loads, the Sportage slots in as a great vehicle for many different kinds of consumers.

Value: With a low price tag for the segment, the Sportage makes its case very strong as one of the best cars for students in 2013.
