It is up to the parents to decide, really.
imo any used car that is low cost maintenance and has high safety is a good way to go for a first time driver.
But regardless of what car is the first, the key is how much time is devoted to one's training and how it is done. If your folks give you the time to instruct you on the ins and outs of driving, along with some of the "rules of thumb" for defensive driving, you will be better off. And even then, know that learning a car's performance capabilities, be it a Z, a Bugatti, or a Civic, should never be done on the street where it can endanger other drivers. That sort of activity is better relegated to closed courses with responsible adults around.
