Personally, I'd go with a 2012-2013 Volvo S60 CPO. First and foremost because they're safe. I think the odds and danger of a collision with a newbie driver outweigh the risks of a breakdown. The CPO warranty includes roadside assistance that will tow the car unlimited miles to the nearest dealer and reimburse up to $500 for meals and lodging if she's over 150 miles away from home. Carry one of those portable battery jumpers and the risk of getting stuck is minimal. A VW bug is an absolute tin can, and most other cars can't compare safety-wise.
