Keep the scariness to trick-or-treating and consider used Mitsubishi Lancers in New Jersey

Halloween is just around the corner, and families with younger children may want to reconsider buying certain new models and stick with used cars in New Jersey, based on the results of a new kbb.com report.

The website, part of the Kelley Blue Book Family, recently ranked the top 10 cars that would be worth making into a halloween costume because of “intimidating faces” that have “sharp angles, squinting eyes and gaping maws (as if emitting battle cries or preparing to eat their prey).”

While those characteristics may be important for making scary costumes, they might not provide as much peace of mind when kids aren’t looking to get scared, especially the menacing Mitsubishi Lancer Evo and the Cadillac CTS, ranked numbers 1 and 3 respectively by the report.

That doesn’t mean that a used Mitsubishi Lancer in New Jersey couldn’t be used for family trips, however. Earlier models, like those from 2004 to 2007, have a much rounder shape that could be more child-friendly. Low-lying instrument panels also promote visibility for drivers, according to Cars.com.
