Depends what you have to spend. You can't go wrong with either honda or Toyota, if you want reliability and want a car that will last. For something sporty, but don't have a lot of cash, (and I know this'll sound a little different) find an older Nissan 300zx. I test drove an '86, and omigod it's gonna be mine, for $700. This thing really moves. And they handle so well. As is (stock, no mods) it's already got 220 horsepower, and they're geared fairly steep. A paint job will make it look good, and that's it. An older Supra, also. Doesn't have to be a 2001 to have speed and performance! I know- I'm 43, and back in the day, these were two of THEE cars to drive. But for good, solid cheap (affordable on gas, ins., and parts if necessary) go with a civic, corolla (or camry), nissan or mazda. And you can soup up a 4 door just the same as any 2 door (same engine performance upgrades and suspension too).

You may have seen the Tesla electric sportscar http://www.teslamotors.com
*
You may have even seen the T-Zero electric sports car
http://www.acpropulsion.com/ACP_FAQs/FAQ_cars.htm
*
These two cars show that it is now possible to build electric cars that can out-accelerate a
Ferrari, and go 250 - 350 miles on a single charge. But both these cars are very expensive.
*
So who else is working on electric cars?
*
Would you believe China? They have to work on EVs. There won't be enough oil to support
China's future economic growth.
*
I drive an old electric vehicle. I also have friends with electric vehicles. Some of them
have recently been able to buy some amazing, cutting-edge EV batteries from China - example:
http://www.everspring.net/product-battery.htm
*
These batteries are better, and cheaper than the ones in those $100,000+ sportscars above.
If you look at the chart, you'll see they are as cheap as lead-acid batteries, and they hold
up for 1100 charges, twice as many charges as the other LI-Ion batteries on the chart.
*
Now, look at this car:
*
http://www.milesautomotive.com/products_xs200.html
*
It's a Chinese electric car, which will be imported into the USA next year. The driving
range is almost as good as those sports cars above. But it only costs $28500. And that price
could get a lot cheaper.

Best answer I can give- cheap!! In learning to drive i.e. first car, you are going to have scrapes, scuffs and dinged fenders. Save the picture perfect for a second car.
