Dependable.

Parts aren't $$$$ like SVXs.

Easy to repair, and cheap.

Durable enough to slide off the road without major damage.

Lots of room for hauling friends places, and whatever gear they need for activities

And..um... well. It's a wagon. So frankly I'm sure your son would appreciate the 'cargo space'.

Edit: Also, SVXs suck premium. That's something to consider. While nice to drive and very safe, SVXs start to cost a LOT of money when they're abused. Even general upkeep isn't cheap, since parts are 3x more than any other subaru.

PS: To whoever chimed in that their insurance company classifies the SVX as a sports car, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SHOP AROUND. You are wasting a LOT of money. I checked into it... mine is considered a 'coupe', because my company doesn't consider a car with 4 seats, and automatic transmission a sports car. It's not cheap to insure, but I'm not wasting tons of money insuring it either.

Whatever you do, just don't get him a dodge neon - those are complete junk.
