There are many good choices. Your main concerns will be safety and insurance rating. Safety is obvious, but the insurance rating on a car can be a bit of a challenge. Always get an insurance quote PRIOR to making a purchase.
4 dr sedans generally have the best ratings. Hondas are usually a safe bet as are Toyota and Nissan. Buy a car that is a few years old so you can cover the depreation. Avoid the more "Disposable" cars like Kia and Hyundai.

My choice would be a dodge neon, they are mostly 4 door automatics, which most first time drivers are looking for, they can be bought for cheap and the insurance is usually cheap with a 4door model. they get good gas mileage and last a long time if taken care of. they are also easy to work on and fix, if someone in your family knows a little somehting about cars they can gbe fixed easily, depending on the problem. . .

I've heard that a used truck has the lowest PL/PD insurance premiums. The teen driver would be safer in a larger vehicle.

A larger car/pickup/suv with a manual transmission. That way size wont affect them if the need to drive a larger vehicle in the future. And they would be able to shift if needed.
