A small easy to drive car is the best.
Honda Fit is a new small hatch back, that have sports car like handleing according to Car and Driver Magazine
At actually performs better than the corvette in a couple of handleing test.
Its under 15k USD
Its also reliable according to Consumer Reports
If your not sure what to buy, go buy a car guide from Consumer Reports for reliablity
and then Cross Check it with Car And Driver's Website.

Small and sporty are totally doable for a new driver. Check on a used Ford Probe or Mazda MX-6 base or SE 4 cyl coupes. Easily found used and cheap some with low mileage, they are sporty looking but with a lower powered and better mileage engine than the GT's which are pretty quick with the v6's. Also a good choice are the 95-00 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring. Also available with a 4cyl engine they are pretty well built and have a 5 star frontal crash rating.

The kind you want is exactly the wrong kind for a new driver in my opinion. I would start out with the biggest, heaviest rust bucket you can find. The reason is that the bigger the car, the safer it is no matter what kind of accident you have and there's a good chance you may have an accident. I would recommend a used Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis which are very inexpensive to buy and repair. However, if you haven't taken your driver's test, make sure to take the test on the smallest subcompact car you can borrow or rent.

Not too much power, good visibility, automatic, medium size and built in the last five years. I would go with a mini-van of some sort (maybe a Mazda MPV or Honda Oddysey) but if gas mileage is a factor, then a Volvo or Toyota sedan. Get him the small sporty type after he drives that for a year or two... trust me, he'll be grateful.

Our daughter started with a car that was about 3 inches too big in every direction and she hit everything , slightly. A small car might prevent accidents, but in general a big one will make the accident safer for the occupents. Just don't make it a big old car that does not have the safety features of a newer one. Another consideration is budget and which of you is paying for it.

Mitsubishi Lancer.
To make it look sporty:
-Buy it/paint it with bright colors like red, yellow, green, etc.
-Costumize it and add rims, decals, neon, spoilers,etc.
-Add nitros
