I just bought a car for my son last month. Things I looked for:
No major issues or recalls on the model for 5 years. Especially no major powertrain issues.
Easy to drive and control the vehicle.
Big mirrors and windows to make it easy to see behind.
Comfortable seats for driving long distances.
AWD or 4WD for our winters.
Android auto on the screen. Buttons and knobs for all important vehicle controls.
The number of cars that failed to have these features was terrifyingly sad. I saw some of the dumbest designs on car interiors while test driving as well.
The most egregious was a couple of vehicles that put major vehicle controls (knobs) right next to the cup holders. Somebody has never spilled a soda on their keyboard.
