Actually, there have been some web articles recently on "best" cars for parents to suggest for their kids. The Ford 500 shows up a lot - not the "coolest" car, but reasonably priced, good safety scores, etc. Here's a link to an older article:

I have been driving a 1996 Saturn SC 2-door coupe for the past eight years. I have put 90,000 miles on it without too many problems. Most notably I am on my fourth alternator. My sister has the exact same model and is on her third alternator. Other than that, it's been great.
The one thing that I feel the need to point out about these vehicles is that they have preformed much better than expected in the snow.
Now, things have changed, I'm sure, in the ten years since my car was built, but I have been happy enough with my Saturn experience to want to get another Saturn to replace my SC. Once it got to 100K miles it really feels like it's on its last legs and I just don't want to put any more money into it. It's time for a new car, but this one has served me very well.

The new Saturn Sky looks amazing! Thinking about getting the Redline version when it comes out next year. Only thing that bothers me is that it's a GM. I've always owned Japanese cars, and have never had any major repair issues. I just know maintanence is going to be more costly on the Saturn.

Safety is the ultimate. i've seen these cars get totally creamed and the drivers walk away unharmed. everything else you asked about depends on where you are located. are you near a Saturn dealer? many mechanics won't work on them because they haven't seen enough of them to get familiar with them and are somewhat intimidated by them as well. they actually are pretty simple to repair. hence, dependability factor very good. electrical repairs can be quite costly (i.e. sunroof and power window regulators to name a few). but generally speaking, they are easy to maintain, are very reliable, and are decent on gas. i highly recommend you service your vehicle at a facility that specializes in Saturns or just take it to the dealer. they may be alittle higher priced but it'll be fixed right the first time and ultimately save you dollars. i actually own a Saturn shop and sometimes i kinda feel like the Maytag repairman....not alot rolling in for repairs. and i'm in a large city with thousands of Saturns roaming the streets locally. even business in the service departments at the dealerships are slow most of the time. one dealer i used to work for has an SL1 they use as a shuttle. it has been on its last leg for 6 years now and has over 1 million miles logged on it. so if you have the means in regards to maintenance and repairing of saturns, by all means, get one. most people love them. its a great car for a college kid to start out with.
