Cheap but reliable, and crashworthy is the way to go with a child's first car...and even into the second. I speak from experience here. Our daughter was pretty typical for her age group....making "mistakes" that trashed her early cars. She still may be doing so, but at least she's paying for them now... I'd suggest you think a base model (4 cyl) little pickup. The added plus is no room to carry a full sedan load of "friends".
