25 large is still 25 large, no matter how it's marketed. Scion is absolutely great for a first NEW (or lightly used) car, no arguments. Catch is many people don't think a first time driver should have access to a sparkly new car without proving they are responsible. We can tell stories and bandy about statistics for young drivers but the bottom line is that a lot of people are fine with throwing down 25+ grand for a first time driver, a lot of people wouldn't give their kid 2 grand for their first car.
It isn't because it's a Scion or it's RWD or that it's a sports car, it's a significant amount of money for 99% of the world. Ultimately his parents are going to decide (and a new base Focus wouldn't be a bad deal for a free ride).
