To recap, I'm not so much asking for the perfect idea as what to avoid. I don't wanna "find" a cheap car that works for me and then find out the insurance thinks it's literally the worst car to insure and pay as much for premium as for the car ;-)
We may have access to an old Mazda 3 and an old lexus in the family, both $3K or less. I'm totally aware it will get dinged or damaged year 1 and will not even bother repairing cosmetics on it if it happens. I'm putting my $ into driver ed, teen car control classes, and his uncle is a professional racer on the drifting series so he'll get car control time for sure (me I'm teaching apex and lines, and now "keep me out of the ditch dammit, 1 ft further left") !
I'm more worried about finding, say a nice old Mini cooperand think that is cool... and pay more in insurance than for the car, LOL. But the suggestions are welcome ! (If find a cheap 300D i'm still getting that, not fast enough to need an airbag ;-)
