1. Low purchase cost. Students don't have a lot of dough.
2. Very reliable/low maintenance cost. See above.
3. Versatile enough to pack in a full dorm room. Hatchbacks rule!
Things students did NOT care about in my experience were safety, tech features, and stylishness. These are all nice-to-haves that fall by the wayside quickly when it's a choice between car or no car.
The other thing I recommended was driving lessons which they did. He was a terrible driver, haha! Sometimes, the stereotypes are true! Good driving is better than more airbags. They just don't drive in Taiwan.
