I have too much invested in my kids, for a DD I'd want them to have modern crash safety.
Daughter was in a multicar accident on 95 in december. Not a scratch, newer Honda Fit.

Unfortunately, I attended a few funerals too
I understand where you're coming from, but imo, "skin in the game" for a teen's car is a better safety factor than newer technology...jmho. From my experience, kids who are "given" cars at 16 don't fare nearly as well as kids who have a vested interest in their ride.
Your post hits home however....haven't thought about "Ted" in many years....RIP buddy.
