Here's a thought. Spend a few extra bucks and put your daughter in a car that isn't likely to break down. Any late-model Honda/Toyota, etc. We bought our daughter a new Civic sedan. My son drives a 99 Cherokee with 180k on the clock (and has been dead reliable for 5 years now)...but my little girl is far less likely to be stranded on the side of the road. I consider it money well spent.
