I think it's a good RWD car for a teenager who's interested in cars.
- the chassis and steering communicate what the car is doing at all times
- it's RWD so it'll keep you entertained and you'll learn how to control oversteer
- it doesn't have a ton of torque or power
- it's cheaper than the average new car sold in the US
- it got very high crash safety ratings
Just respect the fact that it's RWD and setup fairly neutral. If you're accelerating (especially in the snow or the rain), there are times the rear will want to swing around, so be ready to countersteer -- don't lift -- as necessary. If you want to explore the car's limits (which I'd highly recommend), do it at the track/autocross or somewhere where you won't hurt yourself or others.
If you keep all that in mind, you'll be fine. Enjoy the car!
