definitely get a car that is at least 5 years old, because in the first you WILL bump into something and/or get a scratch or 2. this way you won't feel so guilty.
after i turned 16 my parents gave me my mother's car, which was about 10 years old BUT they had had it toatlly redone inside and painted outside. within a week i had scratched the paintjob on the side REAL bad, and i felt like a total heel.
we raised 4 daughters and always got them an older car at first. they agree, much less guilt.

It depends what you want.
Do you want cheap and reliable?
Something that will make you a better driver?
Do you need a utility vehcile?
A cheap reliable easy to drive car is a peugot 106.
Its resonably fasionable, cheap to maintain, easy to drive.
If you go for the base model it's cheap to buy a 3 year old model.
It's not got ABS or Power steering so it will get you used to "feeling" how the car drives.
It's got good visability, does arund 40+ mpg.
The insurance is cheap.

I would love a 1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster...I love that car, if not a BMW Z3 I don't like the Z4 the engine dies much more quickly. And back to reality, I wouldn't mind a Mazda X5, smart enough car even if the engine is crap and it doesn't do top speeds.
Bet your shocked that came from a girl!

something cheap, face it, youre going to bump it a few times, in and out of car parks, too close to the wall etc..so buy a cheap shed..Mk1 fiesta. nothing fancy about them, but theyre as solid as a rock..and a 950 is as cheap as it gets.
use it, abuse it, and throw it away. wait a few years to build up your NCB and then buy a nice car. dont buy a brand new plastic toy, buy a top of the range 2nd hand car, like a VW golf, or whatever takes your fancy... itlllast longer and be built to a better quality than any cheapo malaysian tin box, or a fiat.
and, to get around the horrific insurance rates, look at buying a classic car, like a beetle. my mates lad (17) has a 1967 1303 1600cc VW, for under 350 quid (car cost 275) his older brother has a 1980 mini...which cost around 800 quid to insure.

a clunker like a ford escort or honda civic most first cars get wrecked and why wreck a good car.. not saying your a bad driver but there are drivers out there that dont pay a dam bit of attention to what they are doing and can total your cool car

peugeot 206, preferably a 16v, just incase you get cabin fever...
small, easy handling in comparison to a lot of bigger cars, and pretty cheap for a model that is still sold new
