Some cars serve well the demands of a very specific target market. This can be determined by their needs. College students in particular have certain needs such as: a car that can travel long distance for a weekend visit to the hometown, affordable since this will be subsidized by Mom and Dad unless the parents are millionaires. What it takes to find the suitable car for the jock or the preppy who's going to college on his own is research and evaluation whether a car has the these qualifications: fuel economy, safety, reliability, comfort, and of course affordability, with due respect to Mom and Dad.
