Although she may not like it, you should get her an older sedan that is heavy and cheap. Good drivers aren't only taught well but learn better in a more difficult to drive vehicle. Also, an old beater will be cheaper to insure than a newer vehicle, and you don't have to worry about fixing too much in an older beat up tank.

I know how you feel about your daughter driving. Been there.
Reliabilty was at the top of my list...I was tempted to go all out an get a BIG car for safety reasons...Ya know being a Dad an all.
Byt I did not want to spoil her appreciation for the fact that safety is not always wrapped in a BIG package....I opted for a Toyota Corolla (,Not the Camry). That was 4 years ago an the car looks and drives as well as the day we bought it. An she is very pleased with it.

My parents bought me a 10 year old ford tempo, it was a 'family' sedan when it was originally purchased. The speedometer only went to 85 so you don't have to worry about her speeding, it doesn't have a the best sound system (no loud blasting music at night to annoy the neighbors), and was effecient on gas. I would recommend a car like that, especially something that was a very popular car, so if she needs to replace something there are lots of parts available. It was a good car, I had it for about 4 years until I bought a new car. I would go for something fairly small too, many people are uncomfortable driving a larger car (my sister had a lincoln I think, and she hated driving it because it was too big.) .

A big boat of a car. No - really I recommend the Chevy Cavalier. Even if you get a used one - they have a solid frame, can take a beating and have been totally reliable for me. Don't get a tiny crackerbox of a car that would smash up real bad. The Chevy Cavalier is affordable, in good taste, good on insurance if you don't get a souped up model, big enough to be safe but not so big that you feel like you're in a boat either.

Volvo. Especially a non-turbo four cylinder one like my 1985 740 (you can get them newer). Built like a tank, good on gas, not fast, lots of room, good visibility, great reliability (360k on mine and still going strong) and very cheap.

Civic makes the safest car thing about every year.. Whatever you do don't go for an Saturn Ion.. Those are BAD in accidents..

A white chevy Caprice Classic. My sister got one and the sheer size of it saved her in a couple of wrecks when she was a new driver. If they don't make Caprice Classics anymore think huge white car.
