another suggestion, why not an old integra? i've never been a fan of those cars, but for someone looking to get into the car scene, i would consider them to be a ff variant to our cars in terms of driving dynamics and if she totals it, you're not out a lot of money

First car?

I wouldn't get her something too flashy. It'll attract the police, and in most states there is a fine for 16 year olds driving at certain hours of the night. An SUV would be able to fit a ton of Lunchables for school.

Please help guys!

well, you already killed my idea.

i was gonna say the first gen miata since it's so light weight and easy to work on.

RSX or a TC. Both look really sporty and have potential.

Fiat 500 Abarth.

Cute, fast, fun and that noise...

Without a budget it's impossible to give a recommendation

Brand new Porsche 911 Turbo.

Yep. Just make sure you get her normal turbo with the AWD and not the GT2 with RWD.

2nd Gen RX-8 with warranty no doubt!

They give 5 years on engine. Can check and replace if needed under warranty right before it expires. Other than that, it is a solid car. Definitely more useful than Miata if this is the only car. I had 1st Gen for 8 years. No major issues other than engine replacement ( warranty). It is easy to get used to check oil level once a week.
