I did this same research when our daughter turned 16 a couple of years ago. We landed on purchasing a Honda Element. It scores highly on safety, reliability, economy and fun!
It's easy to drive and parallel park (important for young drivers!). It has lots of room for passengers and cargo. It's easy to clean. It's easy to maintain. It's economical to insure (at least in Northern Virginia). And it can be found used for a very reasonable price.

I am looking for a late-model car for my son to drive when he turns 16. Any good ideas for something safe that's easy on gas and insurance?
I drive a 2006 Hyundai Sonata and my wive drives a 2005 Volvo S60. We are pretty middle-income bracket, so we are looking for something maybe maximum $20K or so.

There are soo many choices out there. Since you state "late-model" and "easy on gas" then I would point you towards anything Japanese. Since I fully believe that their engines last much longer than American built and they get great gas miles. So getting something used you have better chances of not getting a lemon when going Japanese. I drive a Chevy myself so I am no hater at all! I just truely beleive in the Japanese motor. I use to drive a Honda Civic...what an awesome car! Maybe something like this if your looking for a sedan:
2005 Toyota Camary - It got great reviews across the board!
2004 Honda Civic - Excellent reviews as well!
