She says it has to be yellow

Yellow? Simple. Fiat Cinquecento/Seicento Sporting.
Seriously though, you get sporty looks, low insurance group, light and accurate steering and it's fairly nippy. Fiat's are held in distain for unreliability, though mostly, to be fair, by people who've only head about a friend-of-a-friend's troubles with an old Strada in 1982, and has no other experience of these cars.
However, the mechanicals are rather strong, but it's a car that tends to be thrashed by boy racers wanting to work-up to a Saxo VTS, and electrical faults are something to watch out for.
Ford Ka is probably a slightly more sensible option. A Fiesta with better styling, cheap to maintain and insure, and go-kart handling. Reliable too if you look after it.
Otherwise, a NIssan Micra. Super reliable an, of curse, cheap to insure, and VERY easy t drive, thouhg probably not as much fun as the Ford or the two Fiats. Grannies love Micras, which may sway your daughter's decision somewhat...

Yellow! Immediately the Fiat Ciquento springs to mind, it is small (perhaps too small) but is definitely easy to handle, and also in my opinion more kudos than the Ka or other similar sized cars.

Vauxhall Corsa is the most reliable car to learn in.
I am a bit of an air-head to and have had a lot of blonde moments and even I managed to pass first time in a Corsa..

I recommend an older American made model...something that will have heavy enough metal to both protect her from possible harm
as well as something difficult to destroy or total....
something fairly cheap and reliable like one of the following
with 6 cylinder automatic they're less computer controlled and less to go wrong.. fairly economical... they made lots of them if she damages it it won't be hard to find parts..
1973-76 Dodge Dart/Plymouth Duster
1976-1980 Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volare
1973-1976 Ford Maverick/Mercury Comet
1976-1985 Ford Fairmont/Mercury Zepher
1976 and uo Ford Granada/mercury Monarch
1976-1980 Nova (Omega, Ventura, etc)

A corsa c is good (that's the middle model 2000-2006) we use them and so do BSM. Not the best car dynamically but reliable, safe, cheap and very, very easy to drive.

Get her a Ford Ka, they are great to drive, cheap to run and insure, and it's a bit 'wacky' which will suit her airheadedness.
