One of the worst cars for teen drivers is an auto that can go really fast. Besides the fact that it costs more than $100K USD, the BMW X6M is a car that is not one of the best for a teen driver to get behind the wheel of for their first car. Many parents believe that all SUVs are suitable for young drivers; however, the X6M is more appropriate for the older driver. The car is driven by a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V-8 engine that is rated at 567 horsepower coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive. The X6M has a top speed of 155 MPH, and it can go from zero to 60 MPH in just 3.9 seconds which is faster than many of the sports cars on the road today. The auto can also run the quarter-mile in just 9.8 seconds, and it gets below average fuel economy with a 14 MPG (city) and 18 MPG (highway) overall rating.
